Data management with octoplant

The octoplant promise: Keep production running!

Industrial plants are becoming increasingly complex. The growing number of industrial IoT devices, sensors, and field devices, as well as more suppliers and service providers, are driving an increase in data points. Adding to the complexity are 24/7 operations with tightening set-up times, smaller batch sizes, and external challenges such as compliance, regulation, and cyber risks.

With octoplant, we keep production running, guaranteeing maximum reliability with minimal downtime, increased quality, and high safety standards. The solution creates efficiency in production with predictive maintenance and data-based decision making.

In addition to functionalities for securing your production, octoplant also provides a BI solution where information for production, maintenance and management are displayed as dashboards. Data from multiple octoplant servers can be linked, evaluated and analyzed.

The Job Log lists the history of all jobs results. It provides a graphical analysis of job results (equal, different, error, etc.) and enables interactive filtering and sorting needed for analyzing the history of specific jobs.

Our customer Siemens Energy AS reports from the practice

The main reason for using versiondog* was the desire for a complete and uniform overview of all projects and versions within production and maintenance. We also wanted to unify all automation data for all user groups into a single system for global technician deployment. These expectations were fully met with the use of versiondog.

Our customer Haubrauhaus Wolters reports from the practice

Cyber-attacks are a real danger for us. When facing the outside world, we would rather be more shielded than not shielded enough! The traceability of all data accesses including time stamps contributed to our decision to use versiondog.

Our customer Thyssenkrupp Automotive Systems reports from the practice

The fact that the backups are not only stored but can also be compared with each other helps us enormously during audits. The software is set and all new projects are created in versiondog* by default. There is no reason why we should ever do without the system again.

Our customer Tata Steel Europe reports from the practice
