It provides a true scalable client/server environment with capabilities for materials tracking and traceability, short-term scheduling, dynamic batch and equipment management, batch history, and reporting. This powerful array of features produces key benefits that dramatically improve your plant's economic performance:
- Reduced Life-Cycle Engineering Effort - Control code is modular and structured for both unit-to-unit and unit control. Phase logic is also modular and re-usable. Plus, you can simulate recipe execution before writing control code. It all adds up to efficient use of your engineering resources.
- Faster Time to Market - Recipes can be developed by production personnel with an easy-to-use graphical interface. When a new recipe is produced, only the recipe needs to be validated, not the control system. That's because the control system does not change when new recipes are added. Result - enhanced agility that improves your plant's performance.
- Increased Production Flexibility - Each recipe can have a different procedure and formula, and can be scheduled for production on different equipment each time a batch is produced. You can react quickly to your markets and to unexpected plant floor events.
