AutoSave supports virtually every brand of programming software.

SECURED PROGRAM ACCESS
AutoSave determines the access to the directories of programs that are permitted to both the user and the Client PC and restricts editor functions to those directly related to the launched session type.
VERSION CONTROL
Version control features make it easy to maintain accurate records of which software version is in use, when changes were made and who made the changes.

MAINTAIN A CURRENT COPY

In the AutoSave client/server environment, the server stores the device program files in their native file format, depending on the type of program. When the client requests a program from the server, a copy of the files, along with the latest documentation, is sent to the program panel for use by the client. A lock is created so that other users are advised of who else is using the program, when and where. When the files are sent back to the server, the client compares them to previous versions, and if changes are detected, specified users can be notified. Since the Current Copy is stored on the server, authorized users can access the latest copy, enhancing productivity and safety. In addition, the need for disk backups is eliminated, greatly reducing the problems caused by viruses.
AUTOMATED ARCHIVES/COMPARES
This is one of the most powerful AutoSave features. Compare and backup procedures can be initiated on a scheduled basis. You can be sure the most up-to-date program is always in use at each station and that a current backup is readily available. Groups of programs from the floor can be uploaded automatically. In addition, comparisons can be made among any of the following copies:
 

Detailed, logic-to-logic and selected data table value comparison reports are generated and users are notified of miscomputes or upload failures via e-mail. These e-mailed results, generated for scheduled, program, check-in or demand compares, are viewed via a Web browser that features hypertext links to detailed logic and documentation differences.

AutoSave supports standard plant networking protocols
FULL AUDIT TRAILS
Industry and risk management requirements for archiving data are easily supported with AutoSave. Every step of the programming change process is documented and validated, and a detailed history of each version is maintained.
QUICK DISASTER RECOVERY
AutoSave maintains the latest copy of all device programs. If a processor faults, the correct program can be restored quickly. Disaster is averted.

AUTOMATIC CHANGE NOTIFICATION
Whenever a change is made to a program, designated users are immediately notified via e-mail. This enhances communication and productivity and saves time.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE
AutoSave assists in Part 11 validations, FDA, OSHA, EPA and ISO compliance. You get the necessary help to meet guidelines for safety and quality assurance.
MODULAR CONFIGURATION
Modular configuration enables you to start small and add AutoSave modules as your needs grow.
CLIENT/SERVER ARCHITECTURE
MDT Software’s client/server architecture provides seamless integration between AutoSave and your program panel software. The client is a secured, intuitive Windows 2000/XP based application program on the programming node. The client can store and retrieve information on an as-needed basis and provide access to all the features of the server 2003 or Sever 2000. The server acts as the master control center, coordinating all change-related activities from one central location.
