Case Study: Aluar achieves stronger version control and production security with AUVESY-MDT

Aluar - Customer Case Study

Aluar, a leading aluminum producer in South America based in Buenos Aires, needed a better way to manage version control as its production facilities modernized and the number of controllers and users grew. The company struggled with inefficient workflows, sparse documentation, and incomplete software version tracking across its automation environment, and turned to AUVESY-MDT for a specialized version control system for automation data.

AUVESY-MDT implemented its version control system at Aluar after a 60-day trial, supporting critical areas such as casting, alumina reduction, and peripheral processes. The solution improved backup and traceability, with weekly automated backups, immediate alarms for deviations, clear change histories, and locked components to prevent conflicts, while also reducing rework and management effort. Aluar also reported faster issue resolution through AUVESY-MDT’s support hotline and stronger quality assurance and production security overall.
