Industrial Chaos and Data Recovery Solutions
Which of these do you need recovered? PLC configuration files, ladder logic programs, SCADA/HMI project files, proprietary motion control settings, firmware images.
It always starts with a blink. A flicker on the HMI. Maybe a misread sensor. Then production stops, and the line manager’s radio crackles with urgency: “We’ve lost the program. Nothing’s responding.”
The culprit? A failed PLC or corrupted compact flash card that hadn’t been backed up in years. The backup laptop is missing, or worse—wiped and reassigned.
Suddenly, you’re not just dealing with downtime. You’re dealing with:
- Tens of thousands in hourly production losses
- Lost configuration files for legacy Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or Mitsubishi systems
- Scrambling to recreate ladder logic written by someone who retired five years ago
- Vendor delays because the automation integrator no longer exists
This is where we come in.
ADR specializes in recovering:
- Damaged or corrupted PLC program files (including .ACD, .L5X, .MER, .PRJ, etc.)
- Archived firmware and OS images from legacy automation gear
- Operator interface configurations
- Historical SCADA logs and trend files
Whether your files lived on a:
- USB stick
- Compact flash card
- SCSI/SATA/IDE drive
- Network appliance or embedded controller
…we’ve likely recovered it.
We understand the language of industrial systems: RSLogix, WinCC, TwinCAT, CX-One, Wonderware, FactoryTalk. And we understand the urgency when a production line is at a dead stop.
Real Case: One Tier 1 auto parts manufacturer lost its robotic weld cell config due to a power surge. We recovered both the PLC logic and teach pendant routines within 36 hours, avoiding a $250K line shutdown penalty.
Don’t let one failed controller take your entire plant offline. When configuration is critical and downtime is measured in dollars per minute, ADR delivers results fast.
Have a failed PLC card or control drive? We’re ready when you are. We can:
- Evaluate your failed media remotely
- Perform fast-track lab recovery with engineer support
- Work directly with your automation techs to verify recoveries
