Batch Solutions

Equipment and Recipe Management Solutions for Automatic, Semi-automatic, and Manual Batch Executions

No two batch applications are the same. In the most simplistic of cases, control requirements can be fixed sequencing with little to no parameter modification needed. In the most complex scenarios, there can be multiple combinations of products, procedures and pathways that may require arbitration management across an entire plant.

The ability to meet these batch processing needs, all the variations in between, and provide actionable data requires a scaleable control and information solution to help optimize your plant operations as needs change.

Batch Control and Beyond

Using Integrated Architecture for Process, Rockwell Automation provides not only an integrated, scaleable solution following the ISA-88 standard procedural model, but also meets your other plant control and information needs including discrete, process, motion, drives and safety. One control system offering many solutions. That is what Integrated Architecture is all about.

The Rockwell Automation Batch Solution

Open, flexible scaling of manufacturing systems using industry standard communication protocols.
Streamlines equipment arbitration and allocation requirements.
Enables maximum value of your batch automation system with preferred integration capabilities to Rockwell Automation hardware and software.
Comprehensive integration of manual procedures to an automated manufacturing system.
Integrated material management and recipe design.

Rockwell Automation Batch Solutions can extend to the entire manufacturing process including receiving, material handling, batching and blending, processing, packaging, shipping and information systems. This multidiscipline approach provides a single, open architecture that expands across your entire plant to provide a comprehensive solution for control and information.

Flexible Functionality

Rockwell Automation batch solutions provide the flexibility and functionality you need to manage and increase production. A scalable batch solution helps you respond to ever-changing business dynamics by providing technology that puts you in control. Using S88-based functionality, you can develop recipes and processes independent of your process equipment. You can easily change recipe parameters, add new batches, or define which equipment your batches use, without requiring engineering or automation system changes.
