What’s new in octoplant

OctoPlant Pro Hub

Reporting data is now more tailored to your KPIs than ever before! With octoplant pro hub you can bring your octoplant data together with data from other systems using the backup and versioning processes. This ensures even better visibility and transparency across all production processes and plants. The SaaS solution also makes Business Intelligence accessible and easy to use for all users.

New Octoplant Pro Hub compared to previous Octoplant hub (formerly Automation Solution Center):

Asset management (beta)

With the new pro hub, you can create an up-to-date list of assets with the click of a mouse. Here you get a comprehensive overview of your physical equipment, including manufacturer, device type, firmware versions, and much more. The feature is included in this version of asset management and will help you manage your assets more efficiently.
