|
Batching Automation is the integration of process control
engineering with process control software and hardware for step-wise production
of a final product. Each batching phase is developed according to its process
purpose. |
| where can I use it? |
|
The process purpose
can be the addition of feed material, the separation of finished product, the
cooling / heating of a mix, blend or reaction and the pressure/vacuum conditions
specific to the batch phase.

why Batching? |
-
Batching
Automation technologies are hardware based and/or software based, pre-existing
or
new.
-
Batching
automation includes interactions with the human operator to accommodate
sampling, special additives or recipe adjustment.

Our demonstrated success
|
A few of our
experiences: |
-
Dynamic scheduling of
“next” batch to be run based on raw material availability
-
Monitoring and display
of process equipment and batch condition for fitness to proceed
-
Display of explicit
process condition messaging to allow detailed monitoring by human operator
-
Integrating of process
batch automation with QA forms, inspection records and production history
databases
-
Coordination of shared
ingredient source feeds to reduce process feed delays
-
Development of
Automated Wash or Clean-In-Place sequences
-
Development of process
specific metrics for production optimization
-
Flexible “off-line”
recipe development tools consistent with the batching process control
strategy
