AVEVA Batch Management

Get the most out of your enterprise’s asset utilisation and plant output

Batch Management – A Flexible Solution

Batch Management software effectively manages flexible batch operations found in the process industries. This includes Fine Chemicals, Life Sciences and Food and Beverage/CPG.

Adhering to the ISA-88 standards for batch control, Batch Management provides oversight and guidance to both batch execution as well as recipe management. In order to create a full electronic batch record (EBR), Batch Management software coordinates everything with the plant control systems, interfaces with the operators and directs batch activity, material flow and production data to a historical database.

Batch Management software empowers manufacturers to improve their yields through facilitating increased product quality and operational efficiency. The automation of batch processes ensures the delivery of consistent quality to recipe specifications, maximises asset utilisation, helps to eliminate paper records and minimises batch-release cycles.

The control-system-neutral Batch Management system enables recipe and batch management standardisation across the enterprise. This streamlines the new product introduction (NPI) process and empowers you to respond to changing market demands with greater agility.

Batch Management Features

Batch Management offers recipe execution management, as well as the automatic capture and storage of all batch execution data. It associates the batch execution and equipment history with full-product genealogy and material traceability. The control-system-neutral software enables process engineers to safely and methodically create and modify recipes, without requiring any expertise in the underlying control system.

Batch Management

The Batch Management server hosts a process model, material details, as well as recipe information. It coordinates concurrent batch execution across networked equipment and facilitates operator interaction.

It manages batch execution in two ways – by connecting directly to a control system, or via System Platform integration. It is possible for multiple servers to share a single batch history database.

InBatch enables the deployment of solution architectures to meet the needs of critical batch applications, as well as high availability.

Transfer Management

Batch Management provides a unique process capability model. This model goes beyond ISA-88, by including connections to the equipment model and managing transfer phases.

This makes process modelling easier and also enhances batch management capabilities. It allows the batch engine to manage flexible product paths, facilitating simultaneous multi-product and multi-stream batch execution on shared equipment, all the while documenting all material flows with precise material traceability records.

Control System Neutral

Our control-system-neutral batch management software offers customers connectivity for real-time communication to any control system or plant-floor device by making use of our device integration servers. It will, however, deliver maximum potential and extensibility when used in conjunction with System Platform.

The batch management software supplies object templates for units, connections, segments and phases. Control System Neutral also features a model import utility that automatically builds and synchronises the InBatch process model with the System Platform plant model.

This results in batch execution information being made directly available to Historian, MES, Workflow Management and other applications.

Regulatory Compliance

Comprehensive capabilities facilitate the design and implementation of Batch Management systems, applications and solutions that comply with regulations. These include Eudralex Vol.4 Annex 11 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

Enforcing batch sequencing and “done-by” and “check-by” security, results in an electronic signature being added in the batch record. Built-in security and material management capabilities (these include material consumption, movements and inventory levels) add to a detailed electronic batch record (EBR).

This record complies with regulatory requirements of computer systems used in manufacturing.

AVEVA Batch Management

Maximise your business’ operational performance, flexibility – and compliance

Maximise Performance and Quality of Manufacturing Operations

Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) is concerned with the optimisation of asset performance, production execution, quality control and inventory operations. The objective is to increase profitability, sustainability and quality, as well as regulatory compliance. MOM is carried out through the use of applications that digitally transform operational processes and information, so increasing operational flexibility and efficiency.

Companies can use either approach MOM solutions from an equipment-performance perspective, or they can evolve to maximum functionality. Enterprises can standardise processes, so enforcing best practices and consistent reporting. They can also enable the enterprise-wide benefits of multi-site MOM.

AVEVA APC

AVEVA APC is comprehensive, model-predictive advanced control software that improves process profitability through enhancing quality, increasing throughput and by cutting down on energy usage. It utilises state-of-the-art, modern technology to provide automatic control systems capable of releasing process potential across multiple industries. These include Refining, Mining, Petrochemical and Food and Beverage.

Data Collection and Analysis

AVEVA APC performs a series of process response tests. These tests collect dynamically rich data with minimal or no disruption to normal process operations. Its statistical tools, which include cross-correlation and power spectrum density, allows engineers to analyse signals for cause-and-effect interactions. These tools, in tandem with operational experience, identify significant relationships that characterise process behaviour.

Your Process – A Dynamic Model

AVEVA APC offers tighter control of key process variables, which are based on a dynamic model. Effectively, this de-couples interaction that would occur if the same loops were controlled independently, by single loop controllers. The result means an operating point that is more economically advantageous.

Multiple Model Sets and Gain Scheduling

A unique AVEVA APC feature allows the application of model-predictive control to processes that require multiple models. As an example – in blending applications or seasonal production, AVEVA APC utilises online gain scheduling and can switch automatically between multiple model sets – without switching the controller off.

Linear Programming

A linear programming technique, in conjunction with a steady-state model and an economic performance objective function, allows AVEVA APC to identify the optimum operating point based on maximum throughput, minimum energy consumption – or through a balance between these and other performance objectives.

Control Systems Independence

AVEVA APC integrates with a distributed control system (DCS), a programmable logic controller (PLC)-based control systems and plant information system databases from all major suppliers with ease. AVEVA APC complies with the latest industry standards for data connectivity, like OPC. This allows for direct and efficient access to process data.
