How versioning helps 
safeguard manufacturing environments 

Automatic backups save time, reduce errors and ensure a reliable image of the production environment. Managing versions in octoplant prevents the wrong version from running, protecting automated production. 

Replace manual backups with automated backups from octoplant, giving plant operators real-time access to the current program and change history. 

  • Works for newly built or retrofitted digital plants and unnetworked or partially networked machinery and plants.
  • Compare versions graphically and in tabular form.
  • Get email triggers about versions and plant and production statuses.
