Problem
Industrial automation relies on complex code running across multiple devices, often from different vendors, making it difficult to maintain a single source of truth and track changes. This lack of visibility and control leads to increased downtime, slower recovery from disruptions, and challenges in ensuring code quality and consistency across the plant floor.
Solution
Copia Automation provides an Industrial DevOps platform that delivers visibility and control over industrial automation code. The platform combines Git-based source control with automated device backups and change detection to create a unified, multi-vendor repository. This enables manufacturers to streamline code management, improve collaboration among engineers, and accelerate disaster recovery. By providing a centralized view of code running on diverse devices, Copia helps prevent costly downtime, expedite troubleshooting, and optimize operational efficiency through continuous code validation.
Target Audience
Copia Automation targets manufacturing leaders, control engineers, and developers in industries such as automotive, discrete manufacturing, food & beverage, and distribution & materials handling who need to manage and optimize their industrial automation code.
