Overview

Copia Automation brings modern DevOps tooling to industrial automation, standardizing processes to drive quality, efficiency, and uptime at scale.

  • Quality: Copia drives quality by enabling teams to capture issues earlier in the development lifecycle and better leverage team expertise.

  • Efficiency: Copia breaks the one-engineer-to-a-project paradigm, enabling you to apply your talent where and when it’s needed most. Engineers can easily move between projects and work simultaneously on the same code base.

  • Uptime: Copia provides visibility into when code changes and why. The last working version is instantly available to accelerate recovery during operational disruptions.

Git-Based Source Control

Built for industrial automation professionals, enables you to manage the code development of your automation projects.

  • Industrial code support from

  • Tracks all file changes with rich context and ensures access to previous versions

  • Renders IEC-based languages, such as Ladder Logic (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and more in a browser or desktop app

  • Visually highlights differences between versions

  • Provides advanced code review with in-line commenting on PLC files

  • Enables the work of multiple engineers to be merged effectively

With proven version control, powerful collaboration, and accelerated code review, Copia's Git-Based Source Control grants you the full power of Git integrated natively with controls code.

DeviceLink™

  • Schedules and executes backups of PLC and robotic code directly from the devices

  • Automatically detects and notifies the team of code changes

  • Visually compares running machine state to the expected code

  • Enables backups to be added to the project history as a version-of-record

When paired with Copia's source control solution, DeviceLink offers best-in-class data protection, change detection and notification, and improved visibility.

can automatically back up your controls devices and detect program changes on the factory floor.
