AMDT and OpenSG Form Strategic Partnership 
to Connect Engineering Design With Real-World Factory Operations

AMDT and OpenSG have formally entered a strategic partnership aimed at solving one of the most persistent challenges in modern production environments: the disconnect between how machine programs are designed and how they actually run on factory equipment. By combining OpenSG’s control and logistics technology with AMDT’s octoplant platform for automated backup and version tracking, the two companies will create an integrated solution that ensures engineering intent is aligned with real operational data on the shopfloor.

Addressing a Critical Gap in Manufacturing Operations

Across many industries, from electronics and semiconductors to automotive and consumer goods, manufacturers face the same recurring problem. The program or configuration intended for a machine is not always the one currently running. Even small unintended changes, whether through human error, unapproved adjustments, or faulty updates, can lead to quality deviations, unplanned downtime, or costly recovery efforts.

This gap between design and execution is often difficult to detect and even harder to manage at scale. In large plants with hundreds or thousands of devices, identifying which machine has the wrong program version can take hours, while restoring the correct version may require manual data retrieval, external support, or even rebuilding logic from scratch.

The partnership between AMDT and OpenSG is designed to eliminate this uncertainty.

Combining Core Strengths for One Unified Workflow

OpenSG brings extensive expertise in systems that control production equipment and coordinate plant-level logistics. Their platforms integrate hardware and software to manage how machines operate, communicate, and move goods through internal processes.

AMDT contributes octoplant, a software platform used globally to monitor changes across controllers, robots, HMIs, CNCs, and other devices. Octoplant automatically backs up configurations, detects unauthorised or accidental modifications, and provides reliable recovery options in case of errors or failures.

Together, the combined solution will allow manufacturers to:

• Track the full lifecycle of a machine program from engineering design to real-time execution
• Compare intended configurations with those running on the actual device
• Automatically detect changes and identify their source
• Prevent or alert on unauthorised modifications
• Restore a correct or validated configuration within minutes

This unified approach not only improves day-to-day operational stability but also builds a reliable digital foundation for long-term efficiency and compliance.

Launching in South Korea With a Global Outlook

The collaboration will begin in South Korea, a market known for its advanced manufacturing sectors such as semiconductors, electric vehicle components, batteries, and precision electronics. These industries depend on extremely stable processes, where even minor deviations can cause significant losses.

AMDT and OpenSG will jointly develop pilot projects with leading Korean manufacturers to demonstrate how a connected engineering-to-operations workflow reduces errors, stabilises production, and shortens recovery time after incidents involving incorrect program versions.

Following the initial rollout, the combined solution will be introduced to international markets where similar challenges exist across automotive, pharmaceutical production, food processing, and other complex industrial environments.

A Shared Vision for More Reliable Production and Logistics

Both companies see this partnership as an important step toward increasing transparency and reliability in manufacturing operations. By aligning engineering data with real operational behaviour, the joint solution helps manufacturers gain confidence in their equipment, minimise disruptions caused by configuration issues, and maintain consistent quality across production lines.

Further updates will be shared as the joint pilot projects begin and the integrated solution becomes available to a broader customer base.
