System Deliverables
Proprietary System Replacement
An aging Microsoft Access/VBA setup that nobody could easily support was replaced with FactoryTalk Batch and Material Manager-built to last and easier to maintain.
Recipe & Formulation Optimization
Recipes were restructured into an ingredient-based format, simplifying the math and making PLC-based formulation logic far more transparent.
Integrated Batch Architecture
Disparate recipe processes were pulled into a single ISA-88 batch system-giving the operation better visibility, traceability, and day-to-day consistency.
Results in Action
Improved Product Quality
Standardized batch execution and tighter ingredient control brought consistency to complex nutritional formulations-batch after batch.
Reduced Material Waste
Better formulation calculations and tighter process control meant less ingredient waste-and noticeably lower production costs.
Lower Support & Maintenance Costs
Removing the custom code made troubleshooting easier and long-term support much more manageable with widely available, off-the-shelf software.
