When Audit Trails Are Insufficient: AgileDoc® Version Comparison Tool
Audit trails provide critical information on configuration changes that potentially affect manufacturing systems and batch release. Audit trails may not be sufficient, however, to drill down on details associated with modifications.
The AgileDoc Version Comparison module enables ad hoc comparison of objects within the AgileDoc database. The tool shows a side-by-side comparison of selected objects, highlighting additions, deletions and modifications. The comparison can also be tuned to ignore field differences that do not materially affect the functionality of the system.
Sites have used AgileDoc Version Comparison to manage the change control of automation and manufacturing systems. Testing and validation strategies can be streamlined by methodically identifying changes that must be verified. Simplified Software Lifecycle Management and automatic document generation have yielded substantial return-on-investments that can be measured in months. Beyond direct cost savings, AgileDoc enables engineering personnel to eliminate tedious manual activities and focus on value-added initiatives.
