Plant Batch iT - recipe management for batch processes
Plant Batch iT is the central process control system for controlling and monitoring recipe-controlled batch processes. Plant Batch iT is the ideal automation solution for accurately handling the simultaneous processing of a wide variety of production orders for various products in just one plant.
Current standards, e.g. ISA-88, were consistently implemented while simultaneously considering real applications. The process control system Plant Direct iT is completely integrated and covers the structural level of ISA-88 closest to the process.
Order and batch-related production data acquisition is provided by Plant Acquis iT, which is also an integral part of Plant Batch iT. Furthermore, the direct link to Plant iT material ensures transaction-accurate real-time material tracing.
The seamless integration of the process control system Plant Direct iT into the batch system enables maximum flexibility during operation and complete process transparency from the production order to the individual actuator or sensor currently used for processing the order. Users can therefore use the plant’s potential to the full, since interventions in the production are possible at any level and at any time and safeguarded by Plant Batch iT. Moreover, users can analyse and correct a possible fault without having to contact the technical staff.
