Copia Actions

Industrial Code Workflow Engine

Automate the Work Behind Your Automation

Every controls team runs through the same manual cycle: the same checks, the same exports, the same reports, repeated week after week. The scripts that might automate a part of it, still need babysitting. The tasks that don’t get scripted get done by hand, when there’s time, by whoever remembers. The work gets done, but it takes hours that should be going somewhere else, and the gaps it leaves only surface when something breaks or someone asks for proof.

Copia Actions automates the cycle. Configurable workflows, defined in simple files that live alongside your code, triggered by the events your team already uses, and executed by lightweight workflow agents on your network. Vendor agnostic and built for PLC, HMI, and robotic-controller code to cover every device on your floor.

Engineering Standards, Built into Workflows

Transform engineering best practices, library versions, and review requirements from tribal knowledge into versioned, executable, and shareable workflows. Guarantee that standards are applied consistently across every site, line, and team without ever depending on individual diligence or institutional memory.

Key Benefits:

  • Define a workflow once and inherit it across every project through template repositories.
  • Enforce naming conventions, library versions, and review policies organization-wide.
  • Eliminate the cross-site code drift from inconsistent engineering practices.

Catch Problems Before They Hit Production

Require automated checks to pass before any changes are applied to production-bound code, so code reviews shift from being purely visual inspections to evidence-backed validations.

Every workflow run is automatically logged and traceable, transforming compliance and change-management reporting from a chaotic fire drill into a routine, scheduled output.

Key Benefits:

  • Block non-confirming changes from reaching production-bound code through required checks.
  • Tie every test result to a specific commit and author. No more wondering whether the test got run.
  • Compliance and audit reports generate themselves on the cadence your business requires.

Stop Wrestling Mirror Scripts

Instead of wrestling with mirror scripts that break silently, routine drift audits that consume an entire day, compliance reports painfully rebuilt from git logs, or nightly backups that nobody is certain actually ran, Copia Actions automatically executes all of these critical tasks for you based on the exact schedules or triggers you define.

Utilize workflow agents that run securely on your own network, whether scoped to a single project or deployed across your entire organization. Copia Actions seamlessly executes on Windows, Linux, or macOS, giving you the flexibility to place them exactly where they make the most sense for your environment while consolidating all results into a single, visible platform.

Key Benefits:

  • Automate version checks, audit reporting, and unit testing in a single platform.
  • Scale engineering capacity without scaling headcount.
  • If a process can be expressed as a script, Actions can run it on the trigger, schedule, or event of your choice.

Workflows You Control, End to End

Maintaining workflows in plain YAML directly within your repositories alongside the code they execute, so your team can seamlessly write, review, and version them together.

When a new use case arises, you can layer a new trigger onto an existing workflow without touching the rest of the configuration, or pull a workflow from another repository to adapt it to your current project. Ultimately, every workflow your team creates becomes a permanent, reusable building block, ensuring that nothing you build gets lost or forgotten.

Key Benefits:

  • Configure workflows to match your engineering standards, vendors, sites, and reporting cadence.
  • Add new triggers, integrations, and use cases as your needs evolve.
  • Reuse workflows across projects.

How Actions Works

Copia Actions executes configurable workflows against your Copia-hosted code repositories. Workflows are defined as simple YAML files that live alongside your code, triggered by the events your team already uses, code changes, scheduled times, releases, or DeviceLink™ backup events, and executed by lightweight workflow agents that run on your network on Windows, Linux, or macOS.

Workflow results post back to the code repository as required checks. Combined with branch-protection rules, this means non-conforming changes never reach production-bound code. Every run is logged and traceable to a change, an author, and a moment in time. If you can script it, Actions can run it—on the trigger, schedule, or event of your choice.

CI/CD for Automation Teams

Software teams have used CI/CD (continuous integration, continuous delivery) for years to automate workflows that catch problems before they ship, enforce engineering standards on every change, and produce a complete audit trail along the way. Controls teams have been doing the same work by hand.

Copia Actions changes that and stays out of your way while doing it: workflows you author, triggered by events you choose, executed by agents you control.

Stop running the same scripts. Start defining workflows that run themselves.
