Computer failure, loss, corruption, theft or sabotage can render a machine useless until the program is reloaded or rewritten. Software Ownership offers preventative archival services of industrial software and programs; including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), human machine interface (HMI), networked input devices and motor drives. Saving program copies in some remote location, even when backed up regularly, does not guarantee the ability to return a machine to service quickly. Unlike typical office backup schemes, industrial applications require specialized software and subroutines specifically linked to the programs, with the correct settings and version to operate correctly. A simple software upgrade has potential to refuse changes to programs written in previous versions. Changing a computer to a new model and operating system may also inhibit software to function properly. Software Ownership organizes machine programs, industrial software, files and settings into a convenient form, independent of current computer settings and operating systems. The program is “frozen” in time protecting the original programming environment from inadvertent or upgrade related changes. Software Ownership transfers all software and files to the owner, allowing efficient response to a machine program failure and future changes by any qualified service provider. Software Ownership’s archive and escrow service retains copies of software and programs; while maintaining regular customer communications to assure accuracy and currency. Preserving your software and program package by an independent source insures minimal downtime in an accidental or catastrophic computer or machine failure. Software Ownership’s sister company, Active Automation and Maintenance Services can return your machine to service within hours on-site, or over the net. Active-AMS provides on-site consulting engineer services to restore and modify machines to improve efficiency or alter function.
