What We Do

Copia is redefining how the world’s factories energy systems and infrastructure are built and maintained. Our Industrial Code Lifecycle Management Platform connects software engineering practices with operational technology giving manufacturers resiliency with the visibility control and confidence they need to innovate safely.We’re engineers builders and problem-solvers driven by one mission:Keep industry moving forward.Copia is building the modern engineering platform for industrial automation. Industrial organizations operate critical infrastructure on PLCs SCADA and OT networks. These environments power manufacturing energy food production and infrastructure worldwide. Most of them still rely on fragmented tooling and manual workflows that would not be tolerated in any modern software environment.Copia closes that gap. We bring the discipline of modern software engineering to operational technology teams giving controls engineers and IT security teams the version control change management and operational resilience their environments demand.Two concepts define what we do:Industrial Code Lifecycle Management (ICLM) applies structured lifecycle practices to automation code and configuration management. Think DevOps for the plant floor. It enables industrial teams to manage PLC logic configurations and automation assets with version control traceability and controlled deployment processes. No more tribal knowledge. No more manual backups on USB drives. No more mystery around what changed when and who made the call.Operational Technology Disaster Recovery (OTDR) ensures automation systems can be rapidly restored after failures cyber incidents or operational disruptions. It covers backup validation system restoration procedures and resilience planning for industrial control systems. When ransomware hits or equipment fails production gets back online in hours not weeks.Together ICLM and OTDR form the foundation for secure resilient industrial automation environments. Copia is the platform that makes both operationally real.
