Safeguard your operations 
and the environment 

Industries such as raw material extraction, mining and metal processing operate in demanding and harsh environments. These challenging conditions require increased attention to safety, health and environmental protection – including monitoring the various PLC, SCADA and DCS systems that control underground and surface processes. 

Due to changing production conditions, regular adjustments to the program code of these systems are often unavoidable. octoplant is version control software that makes sure these systems – and your processes – keep running. 

  • Leverage support for PLC, SCADA and DCS systems 
  • Generate accurate documentation for audits
  • Get instant visibility into data changes
