n Scenarios

You have both networked and stand-alone controllers and de-vices. Your manufacturing operati-on runs on a multi-shift schedule. You want to maintain smooth pro-duction flow, always keeping pro-cesses at an optimum level. Your in-house staff and suppliers con-tinually make modifications or per-form tasks like bug fixing, optimisa-tion, commissioning or rebuilding of software. All this is done on diffe-rent programming devices, accom-plished and documented manually. Mistakes, uncertainty and lack of clarity can sometimes result in real trouble. You know how difficult it can be to find the right version. It takes time, costs money and it can lead to interruptions in production and even affect product quality.Or perhaps your enterprise would like to introduce the same techni-cal standards at all plants and con-trol these standards online. You may want to develop them further, or give them to your machine and software suppliers, knowing that any changes that they make will also be backed up automatically.

Data Managementfor Automated Production

n Solutions

versiondog for Automated Pro -duc tion is our solution, designed specifically for production plants. Version Management enables complete documentation, inclu-ding full change history. An Au-tomatic Backup and Automatic Comparison between backup and the last server version by Smart Compare recognises the different versions and provides compre-hensive information, helping you to keep track of everything that is important to you:• Was an outdated version used?• Have there been any changes

to the database by suppliers without documentation and/or without comments in the soft-ware?

• Has there been an error or a mistake

• Is the difference justified and why?

With versiondog you always know who changed what, when and why. And you know which version is currently being used by which facility. Automatic Backup saves time and it is no longer necessa-ry to send someone down to the shop floor to save and check ver-sions manually.

Data Managementwith

Features

n Powerful in Detail• The universal Automatic Back-

up function allows the backup of programs and setpoints

• Any versions can be compared quickly with each other (Smart Compare, see picture)

• A continuous overview of the plant status

• The Zero Installation Client ena-bles program execution without installing the software

• Standard Library Management with cross referencing enables the definition of templates and instantly finds a faulty block version in all projects

With versiondog Life Cycle Ma-nagement: • Analysis and restore of optimi-

sed versions are possible at any time

• Bottlenecks can be detected and corrected

• Documentation for Audit Trail purposes can be created

Optional integration with Windows Explorer offers a number of clear advantages: • Support for inexperienced users • No training costs• No need to introduce new rules

or operating procedures

Clear status at the daily start of work: Who is working on what?

Smart Compare: See differences at a glance!

n OptimisationIn many everyday working situations and routines, ver-siondog enables sustainable optimisation:• No need for manual chan-

ge notes: Smart Com-pares find the changes automatically

• Menu-driven client for easy versioning: Simply specify the change re-ason; the system com-pletes the rest indepen-dently

• The automatic documen-tation system supports compliance with stan-dards such as ISO 900x, FDA 21 CFR 11, GAMP, GMP, GxP, VDA 6.4 and ISQM Guide

Coordination between de-partments and external part-ners also benefits from versi-ondog:• Planning and mainte-

nance departments• Third party companies

when projects are out-sourced

n Cross Plant PerspectiveSynchronisation between versiondog ser-vers at different locations allows the distri-bution and supervision of operational stan-dards

Security in any Situation

n Controlled security thanks to versiondog‘s Closed Loop The versiondog server manages the central data filing of all software versions, thus accomplishing automatic safety back-ups via the network. Deviations between device and the re-leased version stored on server are recognised immediately. Check-out and check-in procedures mean that client versions can be easily updated and retransferred.
