Plant iT is a modular process control system, consisting of several standardised basic systems and modules. Depending on the type and number of requirements which must be met within a sector, the basic systems are combined with various modules. This level of flexibility enables the implementation of a standardised control system which can be enhanced with industry-specific functions.

The following overview displays some of the standard functions of our process control system Plant iT, which satisfies typical food industry requirements:

• Batch systems to ISA S88 for batch and continuous processes
• Order and recipe management for fully automated production processes
• Process-oriented materials management for centralised planning, inspection and evaluation
• Batch traceability (pre and post-tracking) to EU Regulation 178/2002
• Electronic batch recording with batch-related messages and graphs
• Electronic signature and FDA-compliant reporting for adherence to international regulations
• Order dispatching with integration of LIMS and ERP systems
• Connection of existing weighing systems
• Energy data management for saving water, energy, CO2 and gas
• Line management system, according to the Weihenstephan Standards
• Production and operating data acquisition for filling and packaging plants
• Production and efficiency reports (DIN, OEE) for reporting purposes
• Automation of CIP plants 
• MES functionalities for planning, guidance, analysis and evaluation of production processes
