SIMATIC BATCH for WinCC
In the processing industry, discontinuous processes – so-called batch
processes – are becoming increasingly important; the shorter and shorter product
life cycles as well as the product variety desired by the consumer are only a
few of the reasons for this.
Constant product quality also for the umpteenth batch, a quick response to
changing market conditions, requirements on the traceability of the production
(FDA compliance) and the meeting of legal rules and regulations, the economic
and technological pressure of flexibly and optimally utilizing the production
facilities – all these make high demands on the flexibility and reliability of
the plant automation.
WinCC offers the right solution for the inexpensive and effective
implementation of batch processes: SIMATIC BATCH (for WinCC). With it, tasks
ranging from simple single-line/single-product processes up to complex
multi-line/multi-product processes can be flexibly solved – easily and at the
same time conveniently – and that in compliance with standards.
Benefits
- Modular architecture with flexible scalability and optimal matching to
system size and individual requirements, e.g in a heterogeneous PLC
environment
- High degree of availability through redundant system configurations
protects against loss of batch data.
- Greater production flexibility
- Shortening of the time to market through centrally changeable,
hierarchical recipes in accordance with ISA S88.01
- Optimized utilization of your facilities through simplified management
of subsystem-neutral recipes, which can be flexibly assigned while in
runtime
- Easy quality management through documented and reproducible production
sequences
- Validation support in accordance with 21 CFR Part 11
- Reduced operating and life cycle costs through the use of standard
products

Integrated Data Storage
For the user, the access by SIMATIC BATCH to SIMATIC WinCC configuration data
means an easy handling, safe operator guidance and quick response to process
malfunctions. The modular architecture with flexible scalability assures an
optimal matching to the system requirements and thus provides future-proofing.Additionally
heterogeneous PLC environments aresupported.
Redundant system configurations guarantee a high availability and ensure that no
production data is lost. With SIMATIC LOGON, SIMATIC BATCH (for WinCC)
furthermore supports the validation according to 21 CFR Part 11 through a
central user administration featuring access protection and electronic
signature.

Subsystem-neutral, hierarchical recipes in accordance with ISA S88.01
SIMATIC BATCH for WinCC allows to create and manage subsystem-neutral recipes, e.g. for a mixer or oven
subsystem of a bakery. The use of the type/instance concept results in a
minimization of the engineering work. In addition, centrally changeable ROP (Recipe Operation)
libraries and a subsystem-neutral configuration guarantee a high degree of
reusability.
Flexible operating parameters enable an optimal system utilization, since the
subsystems are not assigned until in runtime. For a processing-oriented recipe
creation, hierarchical recipes in accordance with ISA S88.01 are available.
The
transparency of the production is provided by the storage, archiving and logging
of the batch data on the basis of the XML format
The validation of systems for the compliance with quality standards is
increasingly necessary these days. SIMATIC BATCH for WinCC fulfills the key
requirements of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and enables the logging of
- changes made to recipes,
- recipe operations,
- changes made during the production
- as well as manipulations on the individual control level.
With it, the production processes can be traced at any time
