Batching

JCS Batch Processing application software is not only compliant with the SP88 standard. Our approach is highly efficient and flexible because it is designed to not only meet the letter of the SP88 specification, but its true intent. The Control Recipe and execution is done in the PLC rather than in a PC, while Recipe Handling, the Master Recipe, Production Planning, and Batch Records are maintained in the Supervisory Computer.

This approach optimizes the system resources in several ways:

• the PLC becomes the real-time, industrial-strength workhorse it is designed to be
• the PC pulls only the necessary data from the PLC and converts it into usable information, then makes it available to other parts of the organization, on an as-needed basis
• network resources are optimized because the data remains where it is needed within the organization, and only that which needs to be shared is made available to other areas, freeing up network bandwidth as much as possible

JCS offers:

• Total Integration capabilities: we supply Turnkey solutions because we understand the implications and importance of integrating the process design with the control system, plant equipment and utilities, and people
• Integration of Plant Floor Production systems with Business Systems through standard hardware, software, and networked operating environments
• Modular Systems: designed to be cost-effective, to expedite start-ups, and to facilitate maintenance, cleanability, as well as future enhancements, modifications, and process control flexibility
• Experience in process development and implementation specific to the Food, Beverage, and Pharmaceuticals industries
• In-Plant expertise: working effectively with Management, Operations, Engineering, and Maintenance
