MDT's new RCU Utility and Pharmaceutical Change Management Module

 

MDT, the leader in change management software for the automation industry has released two new utilities that add unprecedented value to their market leading AutoSave software.  For users managing software patch installations or for pharmaceutical companies managing validated software changes, these new offerings are a must.

 

Remote Casting Utility (RCU)

 

Remote Casting UtilityÔ (RCU) is MDT Software’s latest offering to address the growing need for change management of the software installed on plant floor computers.  These computers include:

  • Maintenance laptops

  • PC-based controllers

  • Plant floor workstations

  • HMI workstations

  • Any other PC-based system

With RCU, you can perform remote installation and updates of software and dramatically reduce the number of user actions required for an upgrade.

 

In addition to data files, RCU manages source files, registry entries, and user profiles.  RCU helps you keep your site’s critical automation control software up to date and dramatically reduces human resource demands and shortens restoration time when failures occur.  Upgrades can be scheduled or performed on-demand while critical registry, data and user preference files are backed up to a central server.  

 

RCU leverages MDT’s extensive plant floor change management experience.  For over 15 years MDT Software has successfully managed automation assets and minimized downtime. 

 

AutoSave support for Pharmaceutical Change Management

 

MDT Software has enhanced its market-leading automation change management product, AutoSave, to support the move to electronic approval processes in Pharmaceutical, Food and similar environments.  Now, workflows and approvals can be managed electronically, greatly streamlining the review process.   Features include:

  • Approval Processing of Changes

  • User password aging

  • Logging of all administration changes

  • Reporting

This Regulated Industries feature set can be enabled on devices requiring a formal change process, allowing user-defined groups for review and approval.  As a change progresses through the review process its status is updated to indicate who has reviewed the change.  Only approved changes can be downloaded for testing, and only after validation can it be “implemented.”   All activities are logged, and reports can be generated on-demand to show activity and status of changes.
