About octoplant

octoplant is the enterprise solution for secure version and data management in automated production.

octoplant makes it possible to automatically back up data, version software versions and document them accordingly. Project data is efficiently managed via systematic lifecycle management.

octoplant interprets data and programs of different automation components and automates their handling. In short: octoplant channels and regulates the flood of data and versions in every production. The system not only manages all project data centrally, but also controls, analyzes, and monitors all changes in the devices. A typical project consists of the current program controlling production, the parameters and setpoints used in it, and a unique version assignment.

The primary characteristics that octoplant has to offer are its simple structure and editor independence for almost all data types.

Other features are:

• One installation routine for the complete system
• An integrated database
• Installation and commissioning of the server within a few minutes High scalability with single/parallel server or agents – Clients do not need to be installed, but can be run on a USB stick as a portable version.
• User data is stored in the server archive in such a way that it can be easily allocated
• Central data storage

To operate the functionalities efficiently, only a server with medium performance is required. However, if performance demand increases due to the use of the system, the system will simply grow with it. This can be done in the following steps:

• The server is upgraded in terms of performance (hardware). A parallel server is set up. – The server is relieved with agents.
• Satellite servers are used across all locations.

All these upgrades can be integrated in a very short time and bring decisive advantages.

Fields of application for octoplant

As data management system octoplant is universally applicable from the basic principle: Wherever digital data is managed, its use brings advantages.

However, the core user group is located in automated companies, which are characterized as follows:

• Automated production: operation of networked devices and controls
• Engineering and project management: planning and development of plants and machines

For each of these user groups, AUVESY offers a specially tailored license model. For more detailed information, please contact us. Please contact us for further information.
