Batch Processes
Most Batch Processes in Spain are still managed as they were in the 90s. Don't be one of them!
What does batch process management offer me?
1. Plant Modeling – The path to flexible manufacturing
Performing plant modeling involves identifying the types of equipment available, their capacities, the necessary parameters, the connections between specific equipment, the segments that compose them, the rules of use or interlocking of equipment…
This modeling allows for a substantial improvement in the management and evolution of the plant. Modeling is the first step to enabling many improvements in the management of Batch processes.
Adapt to the changing needs of the market.
- Enable the creation of recipes without programming in PLC or other systems.
- Allows you to digitize operating rules and other interlocks.
- Enables centralized management thanks to a standardization of the operation.
- Reduces costs associated with product and process reengineering.
- Improves the flexibility of your facilities, maximizing parallelization.
- Reduces downtime by allowing automatic sequencing of operations.
2. Recipe Digitization – No more paper in the plant
A recipe includes much more than the list of components; it includes the different phases to be carried out, the parameters of each of these operations, as well as the target values for each of the parameters. It has a digital repository where the different versions of these recipes are managed for each of the products.
Advantages of recipe digitization:
- Creation of recipes without the need for programming
- Execution of recipes in the plant thanks to prior modeling
- Possibility of performing operations in parallel
- Version control
- Digitize even manual operations
- Based on standards (ISA 88)

3. Traceability and genealogy – Complete history in seconds
Managing the traceability and genealogy of batches in an agile and precise manner requires automatic capture and processing of different production events.
Link to your manufacturing orders:
- Quantities of batches of raw material consumed
- Specific equipment that has been used
- People who have participated
- Other resources consumed
4. Operations control room – Centrally manage your plant
Making the right decisions and taking the right actions is crucial to achieving the best results. It is vitally important to provide your operators with the tools that allow them to become situationally aware.
Managing your operations in a centralized manner allows you to improve agility, while reducing errors and other unproductive costs.
Thanks to an operations control room…
- With universal methodologies and solutions.
- Standards: MESA International, ISA 95…
- Freedom of partner in your evolution.
- Bulk storage of goods.
- Traceability, genealogy and marking (SKU).
- Integration of equipment and facilities.
