    DEMANDING BUSINESSAND PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS

    A complete batch management solution requires more than

    recipe and process management and control. Batch manufacturing

    needs to consider and address other business and production

    functions as well. These include:

    Process monitoring and control

    Can you manage the process through the system?

    Who needs to see and/or control the process, from

    where, when, and how?

    Manufacturing operations

    How do you connect manufacturing operations tooptimize production?

    How do you reduce costs, improve quality, and provide

    flexible manufacturing through the use of automation?

    Business and supply chain integration

    How do you adapt to changes in raw material supply

    (properties, quality, and availability)? Am I making

    this product at the most effective cost?

    How do you connect enterprise functions to plant

    floor control?

    Information, analysis, and reporting

    What information do you need to collect and how doyou get it, when you need it, where you need it?

    How can you use information to improve your process?

    Regulation, standards, and best practices

    How does your automation system leverage standards

    and best practices and comply with regulation?

    Do you apply engineering standards: ISA-88, ISA-95,

    modular programming, others?

    Which apply to you: validation, 21CFR Part 11,

    Bio-terrorism act, HACCP, GAMP, CAPA, others?

    Security, availability, and data integrity

    Are you confident that system access is controlled

    and secure? Is the system information accurate and reliable?

    Maintenance, support, and training

    Do your operators have the skills to manage the

    process and make quality product?

    Can you operate and maintain the system yourself?

    How will users learn the system?

    Understanding both process complexity and business and

    production functions is critical to defining the right solution to

    meet your needs. Often, business and production requirements

    cause you to carefully evaluate automation decisions, search for

    better ways to address problems, and simply ask the question,

    Am I doing what is best for my business?

    Dont purchase more than you need nor implement less than

    you require. Install a platform that can be enhanced as your

    business grows. PlantPAx solutions allow you to efficiently and

    economically implement a complete batch management

    solution to meet your diverse batch needs.

    Rockwell Automation understands that quality, delivery and,

    most of all, responsiveness can be your competitive advantage.

    A PlantPAx system enables you to develop batch control

    applications and provide a flexible production environment

    through any combination of the following activities:

    Recipe Management

    Production Planning & Scheduling

    Production Information Management

    Process Management

    Unit Supervision & Process Control

    Material Inventory Management

    Regulatory Reporting and Process Validation

    Modeling, Simulation, and Control

    Recipe ManagementThe recipe management functionality of the Rockwell

    Automation system provides different approaches to your varied

    recipe and process management and control needs. For those

    applications where the same product is made the same way on the

    same equipment, flexibility may not be a primary concern. No

    problem. Simply code the product sequence and formula values

    into the controller and begin production as quickly as possible.

    For those multi-product needs, where only changes to material

    formulations, process measurement tolerances, or batch scaling

    occur, implement parameter management functionality. This

    gives you the level of formula flexibility you need and keeps

    simple controller-based sequencing in place, gives operators

    control of new batches, and provides formulators with easy

    recipe definitions.

    If your processing needs include many products, produced in

    many different ways, on several different pieces of equipment,

    then flexible recipe management is of high importance.

    Implementing a comprehensive recipe management solution

    allows you to develop recipes and processes independent of your

    production equipment. You can easily manage multiple product

    definitions, modify recipe formulations and sequences, and

    define which equipment your batches can use, without requiring

    engineering or automation system changes. Throughout this

    process, the system will provide change management, tracking,

    and revision control.

    Additionally, by separating recipe management from controller

    programming, it is no longer necessary to reveal recipes and

    formulations to integrators and OEMs. They can provide the

    equipment control and process capability; you can apply theformulation and sequencing know-how to make the final

    product. This puts you in control of your intellectual property.

    Production Planningand SchedulingIntegrating your business and supply chain with

    manufacturing operations is likely critical to your

    success. PlantPAx production planning and

    scheduling functionality can help. Produce more,

    more efficiently, using integrated work order

    management, scheduling, and supervisory functionsto better utilize production equipment. Gain access

    to business system schedules and work orders

    to allow the production system to proactively

    determine production capability and capacity and

    assign equipment to maximize asset utilization and

    increase production. Leverage material management

    information to optimize material usage, identify

    availability constraints, and determine preferred

    storage/transfer locations. Track product lifecycle

    management information to ensure quick and easy

    product introduction into plant production plans.

    Batch management solutions from Rockwell

    Automation help you improve line performance,

    improve equipment utilization, and optimize

    production cycle time and throughput.

    Production Information ManagementTo better understand and improve your process, you

    need information about batch activity and quality,

    the materials used and the procedures executed

    to make the product, and the process conditions

    that existed while the product was being made.

    Batch management solutions from Rockwell

    Automation provide process and batch data

    collection, production tracking, comprehensive

    reporting, and data analysis capability for

    batch applications.

    The process history function continuously monitors

    and records process measurements, field equipment

    status, and operator actions. The batch history

    function monitors production operations, collects

    relevant data, and constructs an historical

    representation of automated and manual operations

    which occurred during batch production. All of this

    information is collected in the context of a batch

    so that a complete picture of the process can be

    reviewed or analyzed in more detail.

    Comprehensive batch reporting provides you with

    dynamic batch summary, batch detail, material usage,

    and track and trace informational reports. Your

    production and management organizations can

    review detail from a single batch or compare the

    results of multiple batches together. In addition,

    users can gain a better understanding of material

    usage, batch sequence timing, and the occurrences

    of exceptions and variations. Your quality and

    operations organizations can use material genealogy

    information to resolve material issues or meet track

    and trace requirements. If a batch or material issue

    is identified, they can use lot tracking information

    to determine which raw materials were used in a given batch or

    determine all the batches that a specific raw material went into.

    Integrated batch data analysis capability allows you to answer

    the complex production questions that arise each day. This

    function allows the user to compare current batches against

    previously identified golden batch characteristics or compare

    multiple batches across the enterprise. It provides the means to

    do batch step, cycle time, or process trend data (temperature,

    flow, etc) analysis with options to baseline the start of each step.

    By leveraging the power of integrated batch data analysis,

    you gain a better understanding of the process and how

    batches were produced.

    Information-enabled batch management solutions from

    Rockwell Automation address your information management,

    analysis, and reporting needs while ensuring security, availability,

    and data integrity.

    Process ManagementProcess management functionality can improve processflexibility and help meet the challenges of diverse processing

    requirements. It can assist with choosing the best equipment

    for particular batch requirements and easily manage batches

    across multiple pieces of equipment or multiple lines. Even

    when many pieces of equipment are involved, you can dynamically

    allocate and reassign equipment and processes to maintain

    effective control of product and better manage your resources.

    When needed, equipment selection rules can be embedded

    within the product recipe, to make intelligent resource

    allocation decisions at runtime.

    In addition to physical resource optimization, you can reduce

    delays in your batch processing caused by manual intervention

    By combining manual and automated steps into a single

    production recipe, the system will notify the operator when

    manual action is required and track the operators response.

    It is also possible to integrate manual SOPs, documentation,

    or graphics of the process into the working procedure. Give the

    operator the information and tools needed to be more efficient.

    Its this flexibility, coupled with procedural rigor, that allows you

    to address all of your batch processing needs while maintaining

    complete records of activity.

    Unit Supervision & Process ControlDepending on the complexity or the production process,

    the equipment and materials needed, or the information

    requirements of the application, you may choose batchcapabilities within the controller or leverage the power

    of a PC-based batch management system. You decide

    where supervisory control resides and the level of

    sequence/formulation sophistication you desire.

    Regardless of your supervisory control choice, PlantPAx

    technology allows you to develop a process solution based on

    industry standards and common implementation

    methodologies. Its this approach that promotes quicker

    development, application re-use, consistent troubleshooting,

    and lower total cost of ownership.

    Material Inventory ManagementMaterial inventory management functionality helps you manage

    in-process inventories, improving production asset management

    and operational productivity. You can coordinate your material

    handling and batch operations to locate, dispatch and transfer

    materials, more efficiently. The system closely controls material

    usage, eliminating unnecessary batch adjustments, or deliberately

    under sizing the batch to allow you to adjust materials.

    When integrated into the system, material receipt, amount and

    location of available inventory materials, release-to-production

    status, and quarantine information become part of your

    automation and production management information. The

    material management functionality tracks information and

    generates reports related to specific materials supplied to,

    consumed by, or produced within your plant.

    These capabilities reduce overall batch processing time, improve

    product consistency, improve productivity, and provide the

    information you need to document the process.

    Regulatory Reporting andProcess ValidationA PlantPAx batch management solution provides data

    collection integrity and system security features designed with

    input from a cross section of industry users to address the many

    requirements you have. Establish procedures to monitor, collect,

    and document Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points

    (HACCP) as required by the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration (FDA). Security levels can be customized to

    meet the most demanding requirements, such as the U.S. Food

    and Drug Administration (FDA) Good Manufacturing Practice

    (GMP) regulations.

    Solutions can include configurable electronic signature templates

    that represent a signature and its associated data, such as signoff

    level, measurement or data entry tolerances, comments, security

    requirements, and date and time stamps. Up to three signatures

    can be required for verification of runtime batch events. All

    signatures are stored in the event journal and are non-editable,

    fully supporting 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

    If you have demanding regulatory compliance or process validation

    requirements, you can depend on PlantPAx batch management

    solutions to meet these needs.

    Modeling, Simulation and ControlThe PlantPAx batch solution allows recipes to be tested against

    plant configurations without running them in the plant. It can

    be configured to match your specific project and/or

    process-connected devices. An entire batch procedure can

    be simulated, offline, to verify sequential and procedural details,

    before the recipe is released to production. Simulation supports

    cutover of one phase at a time, speeding the debugging processas startup approaches.

    Modeling production can significantly improve plant floor

    performance by answering the many what-if scenarios you face

    each day. PlantPAx provides the tools you need to perform

    discreet event simulation modeling. The modeling results allow

    you to reduce scrap and downtime, predict the effect of large

    facility changes before committing to expensive physical

    changes, and anticipate resource needs and reduce bottlenecks

    from lack of proper asset utilization.

    Advanced process control, including model predictive control

    and fuzzy control, can be integrated into both the simulated and

    on-line process system. Gain better control of the process, increase

    efficiencies, and improve yields. Enable yourself to continuously

    optimize and improve your production performance.

    This is all possible through an integrated batch management

    solution from Rockwell Automation - PlantPAx.

    Historically, plants have used manual standard operatingprocedures, custom programming, or expensive, specialized

    control systems for batch applications. Other control

    applications, such as material handling, continuous processes,

    packaging and utilities, were implemented with different

    control systems and strategies. In order to meet higher-level

    information needs, interfaces were maintained between each

    of these disparate systems with each providing its own content

    and information format, and requiring integration into the

    overall IT infrastructure.

    With PlantPAx you can apply a single control and information

    platform across all areas of your plant, including discrete,process, motion, drives and safety.

    Our information-enabled solutions combine multi-disciplined,
