When the line stops, this is how it starts again.

Octoplant automates backup, versioning, and recovery across heterogeneous industrial environments - from PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems to robots, CNCs, drives, and other critical production assets. Every configuration is stored centrally with its version history, giving your teams a trusted, known-good state to recover from when a device fails, a change goes wrong, or a cyber incident disrupts production.

The math
of a stopped line.

The cost of downtime varies by industry, plant, and production process. The economics don't: once production stops, every minute spent finding the right project, determining what changed, rebuilding a configuration, or waiting for specialist support extends the loss.

Recovery time starts long before the incident. It depends on whether the right backup exists, whether it is current, whether you know what changed, and whether your team knows exactly what to restore.

Backup
that runs itself.

Octoplant runs scheduled backup jobs across your automation environment, capturing device programs and configurations without relying on engineers to remember manual backup routines. Results are stored centrally, versioned, and available for comparison, creating a continuously maintained recovery history across critical production assets.

From PLCs and HMIs to robots, CNCs, SCADA, DCS, and drives, device-specific integrations account for the different ways industrial systems store and retrieve their configurations.

Industrial recovery isn't file recovery.

Restoring an office document means retrieving a file. Restoring production can mean rebuilding the exact program, parameters, configuration, and machine-specific data required by a PLC, robot, CNC, HMI, drive, or control system.

Different vendors and device generations handle that data differently. Octoplant's device-specific integrations preserve the operational context needed to create usable recovery points across heterogeneous automation environments.

Recovery in minutes

When production stops, the first question shouldn't be “Which file do we need?” Octoplant gives teams access to the current or required historical version, its change history, and the backup data needed for recovery.

“In case of an emergency, we can restore entire production lines within minutes and maintain the supply chain.” - Benjamin Kleine, thyssenkrupp Presta AG

The objective is simple: the right version, for the right device, available when every minute matters.

Different failures. The same first requirement.

	Scenario	Details
	Hardware failure	A controller, industrial PC, drive, or other production device fails and needs replacement or reconstruction.
	Human error	A parameter, program, or configuration change creates an unexpected production problem.
	Unwanted change	The live device no longer matches the approved state — intentionally or otherwise.
	Cyber incident	A compromised or altered system must be returned to a trusted configuration before production can safely resume.
Whatever caused the disruption, recovery depends on the same thing: knowing the last trusted state and having the data required to restore it.

Know what's good
before something goes wrong.

During an incident, “latest” and “correct” are not necessarily the same thing. The latest backup may already contain the configuration that caused the problem.

Version histories and comparisons let engineers understand how the configuration evolved and identify the state they actually want to recover. That turns recovery from guesswork into an informed engineering decision.

Most outages start as changes. Catch the undocumented modification before it stops the line.

Are you ready to recover - across every plant?

Recovery readiness shouldn’t become visible only after something fails. Enterprise teams need to know where backup coverage exists, where jobs are failing, which critical assets have gaps, and where aging or vulnerable technology increases operational exposure.

Octoplant creates the recovery foundation at device and plant level. Octovision turns that operational data into enterprise visibility, helping teams identify gaps and compare resilience across sites before an incident exposes them.

Resilience you can measure.

Production resilience isn’t an abstract security goal. It can be seen in operational questions: Are critical assets backed up? Are jobs succeeding? How current are the recovery points? Which devices have configuration drift? Where are known-good versions available? Which sites have coverage gaps?

Turning those questions into visible, repeatable operational measures moves recovery from an emergency procedure to a managed resilience discipline.

The economics of recovery.

	What drives downtime	Without controlled recovery	With Octoplant
	Finding the backup	Files distributed across laptops, shares, USB drives, or individual engineers	Centralized version and backup history
	Choosing the right version	Depends on memory, filenames, and manual investigation	Version history and comparison provide context
	Understanding what changed	Engineers reconstruct events during the outage	Change history and Smart Compare show differences
	Rebuilding a failed device	Configuration may need to be recreated or sourced externally	Recovery data is prepared and available
	Waiting for expertise	Recovery may depend on one engineer, OEM, or integrator	Standardized recovery information available to authorized teams
	Enterprise oversight	Backup readiness discovered plant by plant	Centralized operational data supports cross-site visibility
The economics of recovery are simple: the faster teams can identify the right version, understand what changed, and restore a trusted configuration, the less time and money production loses.
