Industrial control systems are rarely ever identical. That means customization and specific configuration is necessary, not to mention the alterations that take place over time as equipment is replaced or processes and parameters change. In addition, change management solutions can provide rapid recovery in the event of a disaster, increase security against unauthorized changes, either internal or external, and assist development teams working at the same time.
Organizations often use rudimentary spreadsheets or logbooks to document modifications, if at all. Our increasingly digital world has raised awareness about the risk of misconfiguration and the requirement for programmatic methods of tracking change across industrial systems. Thankfully, there are tools available specifically designed for tracking these changes and providing a common central repository for team usage.
