IoT Device Management: Know, in detail, what is happing in your plant
Keep track of all devices and drivers
octoplant integrates all common production and IIoT devices across manufacturers and manages the configuration data in a standardized manner on a central data management platform. This solution enables transparent management of complex information and provides a clear breakdown of who made each change, why and when.
While other solutions only cover specific machines or just certain parts of a plant, octoplant offers a 360-degree view and supports a wide range of bus systems, standards, and manufacturers. The purpose of this centralized approach, which covers everything from sensors and field devices to SCADA and PLCs to HMI devices and robotics, is to provide a comprehensive view for everyone in the plant from the plant manager or engineer to maintenance and IT and OT security managers.

What our customers say
We now have a centralised data storage location, a clear structure for user rights, transparency about who changed what, where when and why, source code control and the ability to compare versions, which helps with standardisation. It is now easy to deal with changes: we Check-out the file, set the lock state, make changes, and check it back in. This is all fully documented and can be traced at any time, which also facilitates standardisation and contributes further to our development as a company.
A solution that fully supports all devices and assets in the plant
octoplant monitors the plant’s automation technology and supports an incomparable range of devices, from many manufacturers, used in automated production - both on the device level (PLC, robots) and on the production level (SCADA, HMI, DCS).
Whether it's a sensor or field device, robot, PLC or SCADA, no system offers greater compatibility with the various types of devices used in an industrial plant, from many different manufacturers, such as Siemens, ABB, Kuka, Rockwell and Mitsubishi.
With the Easy Asset Integrator, numerous assets and devices can be easily integrated into octoplant in just a few clicks, and backup jobs can be created automatically.
octoplant enables automatic documentation of all changes to a program and provides a detailed display of the complete change history, making it always clear who changed what, when and why.

We stay in close contact with automation manufacturers and constantly update connected devices.
If a device is not normally supported by octoplant, it can still be managed using octoplant so that you can benefit from the central project repository. A backup strategy can be set up using our universal device integration workflow. A detailed comparison of changes can be made, depending on data type.
