Increasing Quality and Compliance

Due to increased regulatory scrutiny on the food and beverage industry, manufacturers are seeking ways to be assured the process has not been altered without approval.

Our software is part of the change management and audit infrastructure that ensures this compliance. We track changes in PLCs, human-machine interface systems and workstations to ensure a proper audit trail and notification of changes. This can be invaluable in understanding what changes were made, why, and by whom. In addition to providing rollback and recovery data in the event of device failures, our software periodically queries your automation devices and compares the code running in the processor with what we have on file. If a mismatch is detected (indicating someone went around our system to make a change) we send notification to key personnel highlighting the mismatch along with information pinpointing the changes.

“We are a multi-platform organization; we use Modicon, Rockwell, Schneider and more. We needed a change management solution that would work with everything rather than using multiple types of change management software. MDT AutoSave is third party, it isn’t affiliated with a particular PLC manufacturer, it supports everything.”  - Nestlé Purina Petcare

To further increase the level of change control, our latest version of AutoSave provides workflow approval routing and electronic signature functionality in support of 21 CFR 11 guidelines. For areas requiring even greater electronic approval and audit trail support, AutoSave's Add-On Modules provides this functionality.

We serve the food and beverage markets through our distribution and integration network.
