Introduction Modern plants juggle dozens of PLCs, HMIs, drives, and engineering workstations across multiple vendors. That complexity—plus frequent changes and tough compliance demands—makes it hard to keep assets synchronized, recoverable, and secure. Octoplant...
Ensuring Traceability and Accountability In industrial plants, every change to PLC programs, SCADA systems, and HMI configurations can impact operations, safety, and regulatory compliance. Maintaining clear audit trails ensures that every modification is traceable,...
Modern industrial plants face growing challenges in managing automation assets. With dozens or even hundreds of PLCs, HMIs, and drives across multiple sites, ensuring version control, backup, and recovery becomes critical. Manual processes are prone to error and can...
Protecting Your Plant from Downtime Industrial automation relies on PLCs, SCADA systems, and HMI projects to keep production running smoothly. Yet, even small mistakes — a misapplied change, a hardware failure, or a network glitch — can halt operations and lead to...
Introduction As IT and OT environments converge, industrial networks face escalating cyber risk—where a single compromise can halt production, endanger safety, and impact revenue. Traditional, office-centric firewalls aren’t built for plants that demand determinism,...
In modern industrial plants, engineers constantly modify PLC programs, HMI configurations, and SCADA projects. Without proper version control, even small undocumented changes can lead to extended downtime, operational errors, and compliance headaches. Industrial...
