MDT AutoSave software

MDT AutoSave is a change management software package to safeguard industrial programmable equipment from loss of configuration for fast disaster recovery and configuration version archiving.

It can be configured to automatically inspect or analyse programs found in automation devices and provide detailed information of changes made between a master copy, prior version or a current version in the processor. With a complete history of changes and who made them all in one place, revisions can immediately be reviewed and audited to quickly resolve faulty or damaged programmable equipment in the production line.

The software acts as a universal industrial change platform or centralised system to coordinate all security, program versions and change-related activities to easily program logic for control programs and devices such as PLCs, CNCs, HMIs, PC control systems, robots, drives and general automation programs. This reduces time spent manually tracking changes, rewriting and commissioning programs.
