System Deliverables

PlantPAx Migration and Standardization

Custom PLC code was replaced by Rockwell Process Objects to standardize control, enhance reliability, and allow growth.

FactoryTalk Batch Integration

automated sequencing and parameter management reduced manual inputs, ensuring more consistent recipes with fewer errors.

Simulation and Testing Environment

Before going live, a simulation system lets the team test batch recipes, control modules, and HMI changes without affecting production.

Results in Action

Increased Batch Reliability

Electronic recipe control and built-in operator prompts keep every batch on track. Fewer errors, more consistent results.

Enhanced Operational Efficiency

Automated parameter transfers, eProcedure guidance, and CIP controls made day-to-day operations smoother, helping speed up commissioning and validation cycles.

Comprehensive Data Capture

FactoryTalk Batch handles historical data, electronic signatures, and reports-so audit prep is straightforward, and production insights are always within reach.

  • The absence of a standard Process object was the major driver for the migration.
