Batch operations software

Wonderware has released InBatch 9.0, an enhanced, flexible and scalable batch management solution.

InBatch software addresses the needs of the most complex batching processes that require a high level of flexibility and the ability to easily manage batch operations on top of existing systems. Consistent with the ISA S88 flexible batching standard, InBatch software offers comprehensive batch execution and equipment history, material genealogy, stringent security, web-based reporting and the ability to facilitate the design and implementation of systems that are compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations.

Tight integration with Wonderware System Platform enables re-usability, scalability and extensibility that facilitate the development and deployment of standardised, multi-plant system implementations. Substantial savings in engineering effort can be realised as InBatch software offers the ability to quickly and easily add additional processing lines, manufacturing cells or operator nodes and provides remote development capabilities in a simple and straightforward manner.

ArchestrA technology provides the tight integration of InBatch 9.0 and Wonderware System Platform 3.1, enabling the use of a logical ISA S88 plant model on top of existing PLC or automation system code. Other features include an enhanced environment display, a system configuration manager and reporting integration via the Wonderware Information Server.

Timely reporting of equipment downtime and efficiency inside InBatch software is accomplished through the Wonderware Information Server web reporting and data visualisation software. This makes it easy to extend report templates that use Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, saving time when creating and distributing batch reports.
