Recipe + Batch Management

BatchWorX Feature Highlight

• Real-time Management
  
  • Current actual dosage, temperature and agitation speed
  • Phase State (default, stop, suspension, in-progress)
  • Fault Management (out of tolerance, out of flow)
  • Online Action by using command buttons (stop, suspension, resume and cancel)
  • Online modification on the recipe in progress
• Formulae
  Define the composition of the batching and include the appropriate ingredient rations. The formula definition can be the template for multiple recipes.
• Recipe Manager
  Manage and configure bespoke formulae and advanced recipes. A recipe is based on the formula and defines the steps of how the formula will be used to manufacture the required product. This includes the dosing stages, equipment to use and commands to issue such as mix times.

• Recipe Operation
  Each operation is carried out by running a process phase which links plant equipment modules together in routes. As recipes are selected to run on different elements, BatchWorX offers users only those phases which relate to those elements. This is achieved by using the GRAFCET language, Sequential Function Chart (SFC), which links phases together and enables you to easily describe the parallelism or the sequence of operations or phases. As soon as transfer phases are introduced in the recipe, materials defined in the formula are linked to the phase parameters so that routes are automatically configured for the selected plant equipment modules.

• Batching Schedule Viewer
  Plan>Execute>Monitor. The BatchWorX scheduler and viewer are fully .NET components that allowed users to create bespoke HMI screens. Users can plan and execute batches on demand or via simulated schedules.

• Batch Validation
  The Batch Initialization process will check all the elements necessary for successful batch execution including recipe and equipment module validation, availability of equipment modules and production unit reservations.
