Safety and
reliability are key drivers of the automotive industry.
Global competition has been a reality for many years and
every producer is looking for ways to maximize
manufacturing uptime, while avoiding untracked changes
in automation equipment which could lead to expensive
rework or recalls.
MDT AutoSave is
part of the change management and disaster recovery
infrastructure in automotive plants producing millions
of vehicles a year. In fact, it is the corporate
standard for some of the world’s largest automotive
manufacturers. AutoSave tracks changes in PLCs, robots,
human-machine interface systems, CNCs, welders, drives
and workstations to ensure proper rollback/recovery data
and audit trails exist.

Auto Industry $22,000 per Minute “While one minute of
stopped production, or downtime, costs an average of
$22,000, some survey* respondents cite the figure to be
as high as $50,000 per minute. With such high costs at
stake, keeping production machinery operating smoothly
is critical to a factory's bottom line.”
