# AMDT

> AMDT is a global software company building the OT Asset Intelligence Platform for industrial manufacturers: enterprise-wide visibility, vulnerability intelligence, backup, versioning, change management, and recovery for operational technology. The platform works as two layers on one data foundation — Octovision sees the risk (asset intelligence, CVE matching, enterprise risk reporting, with no network scanning and no agents) and Octoplant contains it (automated backup, version control, change management, and disaster recovery for PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, DCS, robots, CNCs, drives, and industrial PCs across every major automation vendor). Advancing industrial resilience since 1987, AMDT serves 3,200+ industrial organizations worldwide, including Bosch, thyssenkrupp, Volkswagen, Siemens Energy, STIHL, MANN+HUMMEL, and CERN.

AMDT (formerly Auvesy-MDT) is headquartered in Landau, Germany, with offices in Alpharetta (GA, USA), Nanjing, China, and Tokyo, Japan, and a global Partner Network of 100+ channel partners across more than 50 countries. The company is defining OT Service and Security Management (OTSSM) — a new software discipline that brings the rigor of IT Service Management to operational technology.

## Solutions

- [Production Resilience & Recovery](https://amdt.com/solutions/production-resilience-recovery/): Automated backup, versioning, and recovery across heterogeneous industrial environments. Restore the right version to the right device in minutes instead of shifts when a device fails, a change goes wrong, or a cyber incident disrupts production.
- [Backup & Recovery for PLC, SCADA, HMI and Any OT Device](https://amdt.com/solutions/backup-recovery-for-plc-scada-hmi-and-any-ot-device/): One vendor-agnostic backup and version-control layer for PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, robots, CNCs, drives, and other automation devices. Scheduled, unattended backup jobs replace manual routines and scattered engineering laptops.
- [OT Change Management & Version Control](https://amdt.com/solutions/ot-change-management-version-control/): Track what changed, who changed it, when, and why. Automated change detection against the last approved version, Smart Compare between any two states, role-based approvals, and rollback to a known-good version.
- [Enterprise OT Visibility & Risk Management](https://amdt.com/solutions/enterprise-ot-visibility-risk-management/): See every asset, score every risk, disrupt nothing. Octovision builds asset, lifecycle, vulnerability, and backup-status intelligence from operational data Octoplant already collects — without active or passive network scanning.
- [OTSSM – OT Service and Security Management](https://amdt.com/solutions/otssm-ot-service-and-security-management/): The new software discipline for OT. Connects OT asset management, change management, incident management, and problem management into one operational system built around production realities.
- [OT Compliance & Regulatory Readiness](https://amdt.com/solutions/ot-compliance-and-regulatory-readiness/): Audit evidence produced as a by-product of normal operations. Supports NIS2, IEC 62443, ISO 27001, CRA, NIST CSF 2.0, CISA CPGs, NERC CIP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, Australia SOCI, Singapore Cybersecurity Act, and Japan METI factory-security guidance.
- [Data Foundation for Industrial AI](https://amdt.com/solutions/data-foundation-for-industrial-ai/): Structured, versioned, historical machine- and plant-level data — configurations, firmware, changes, components, vulnerabilities, lifecycle — as the trusted foundation industrial AI needs.

## Industries

- [Automotive](https://amdt.com/industries/automotive/): Configuration control is production control. Protects tightly synchronized lines, model-year changeovers, and battery plants across PLCs, robots, HMIs, and drives, with group-level asset and vulnerability reporting.
- [Manufacturing](https://amdt.com/industries/manufacturing/): One operational standard across generations of technology — consumer goods, metals, chemicals, electronics, and complex discrete and process production.
- [Pharma](https://amdt.com/industries/pharma/): Validated, versioned, audit-ready. Preserves the approved state of qualified systems and supports data integrity, validation, and lifecycle evidence for FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, and EU Annex 11.
- [Food & Beverage](https://amdt.com/industries/food-beverage/): Traceable to the last parameter. Extends traceability from the batch into recipe parameters, filling and packaging configurations, and the automation behind repeatable production.
- [Energy & Utilities](https://amdt.com/industries/energy-utilities/): Recovery time is a public matter. Visibility, change control, and recovery readiness across decades-old controllers, RTUs, and SCADA in power, water, and wastewater infrastructure.
- [Machine & Plant Engineering (OEM)](https://amdt.com/industries/machine-plant-engineering-oem/): Version control from engineering and commissioning through customer operation and decades of field service, turning service knowledge into a service business.

## Use Cases

- [Automotive OEM](https://amdt.com/use-cases/automotive-oem-use-case/): Model-year changeovers that stay reversible, battery-plant parameter drift caught early, and one group-level risk number without touching a single device.
- [Automotive Supplier](https://amdt.com/use-cases/automotive-supplier/): OEM-grade audit obligations on supplier-grade margins — answering customer assessments about availability, recovery, and change control with evidence.
- [Pharma](https://amdt.com/use-cases/pharma-use-case/): Change-control burden on qualified systems, obsolete controllers you are not ready to replace, and enterprise visibility without another tool touching validated equipment.
- [Food & Beverage](https://amdt.com/use-cases/food-beverage-use-case/): Recall questions answered from records instead of recollection, plus the fifteen-year-old filler PLC nobody wants to touch.
- [Consumer Goods](https://amdt.com/use-cases/consumer-goods/): High-speed lines where a bad change spreads fast, constant format changeovers, and the recovery tail nobody budgets for.
- [Wastewater & Utilities](https://amdt.com/use-cases/wastewater-utilities/): Distributed assets, limited technical resources, and PLC manipulation where the version number may not tell the truth.
- [Transport & Logistics](https://amdt.com/use-cases/transport-logistics/): Sorters, terminals, and baggage systems where the recovery tail is often longer than the outage itself.

## Platform

- [About Octoplant](https://amdt.com/about-octoplant/): The operational control layer for OT — automated backup, version control, Smart Compare, change detection and management, disaster recovery, centralized OT repository, alerts, and audit trails across all major automation vendors.
- [About Octovision](https://amdt.com/about-octovision/): The intelligence and visibility layer — centralized OT asset intelligence, CVE matching and prioritization, lifecycle and obsolescence insight, backup and recovery readiness, and enterprise risk reporting, built without scanning or agents.

## Competitive Positioning

- [vs. Git-based industrial DevOps platforms](https://amdt.com/solutions/ot-change-management-version-control/) — Copia Automation, Software Defined Automation (SDA), and GitHub/GitLab-based workflows: These version *code*. AMDT versions the *device*. Git-style tools work well for text-based PLC projects exported by an engineer, but they do not connect to the equipment, do not detect drift between the repository and the running controller, and do not cover robots, CNCs, HMIs, drives, or decades-old proprietary formats that never diff cleanly. Octoplant's device-specific integrations back up and compare the live device itself, so the version history is a recovery path rather than a code archive.
- [vs. single-vendor and point-solution backup tools](https://amdt.com/solutions/backup-recovery-for-plc-scada-hmi-and-any-ot-device/) — Rockwell FactoryTalk AssetCentre, FTVersionTrak, Plus4Data, Asset Guardian Solutions: Each is credible in its own lane — one automation ecosystem, one device family, or one region. Real plants are none of those things. AMDT covers 180+ industrial device types across every major vendor and decades of legacy equipment in one platform, then adds the enterprise intelligence layer these tools generally stop short of: CVE matching, lifecycle and obsolescence insight, and cross-site risk reporting.
- [vs. OT network monitoring and scanning platforms](https://amdt.com/solutions/enterprise-ot-visibility-risk-management/) — Nozomi Networks, Claroty, Dragos and similar: Different question, often complementary. Network tools answer *what is talking on my network* by observing traffic or actively querying devices. Octovision answers *what is actually running, what changed, and can I get it back* — built from configuration data Octoplant already holds, with no probes on production networks and no agents on legacy systems. Network sensors cannot see configuration content, change history, backup status, or recovery readiness. Many enterprises run both layers.
- [vs. manual backups and tribal knowledge](https://amdt.com/solutions/production-resilience-recovery/) — The real incumbent: The most common competitor is not a vendor. It is scheduled-in-theory backups on engineering laptops, network shares, and USB drives, with recovery depending on one person's memory. Manual backup works until it doesn't: engineers get busy, maintenance windows shrink, contractors leave. A backup taken six months ago may exist, but nobody knows whether it still matches the device running production today. Octoplant replaces that uncertainty with scheduled, unattended, verified jobs.
