As part of their digital transformation efforts, many companies in process industries are looking to implement real-time batch management solution to manage recipes, execute batch functions, enforce SOPs, allocate assets, and track materials and labour for more repeatable product quality and process efficiency. In a manufacturing environment, where there are many recipes and batch processes, achieving repeatable and sustainable golden batches can be difficult.
To create and sustain these high standards, production processes and procedures need to be streamlined, and teams need to be able to execute batch functions in a systematic way. As a meticulous, organised system for managing records, notes, observations, and more, EBRs (Electronic Batch Records) makes it possible to quickly and effectively analyse electronic batch records and decide upon timely and proper responses.
Regardless of whether your operation has 1 recipe, or 100, batch management can help ensure that your batching processes are repeatable, traceable, and optimised. But how can manufacturers manage recipes and execute batching operations to ensure product quality and process efficiency?
Batch management software for manufacturing applications
ITI Group’s batch management software, Batch Tracking and Batch OEE Solution, is built on the industry-leading MES TrakSYS™ platform, giving manufacturers real-time insight into how to optimise batching and maintain regulatory compliance.
Have business intelligence at your fingertips to gain:
True Batch Traceability
Track every batch from start to finish with detailed records of materials, equipment, and production conditions.
Batch-Centric OEE
Go beyond average line performance. Identify underperforming batches and root causes using batch-specific OEE metrics.
Faster Root Cause Analysis
Connect quality issues or delays directly to batch-related events for faster, more effective problem-solving.
Compliance & Audit-Readiness
Maintain a digital history of every batch, supporting regulatory compliance and customer requirements with ease.
Plug-In Ready for MES
Seamlessly integrates into your existing MES framework to provide immediate value without disrupting current operations.
Proven Results for Manufacturers Like You
We help manufacturers turn data into smarter decisions, improving efficiency, reducing downtime, and optimizing operations. Companies across the industry have trusted us to solve complex challenges—now it’s your turn.
Batch Management Solution
Gain complete visibility into your batch operations with a powerful module designed to track, analyse, and optimize performance at the batch level. Our Batch Tracking & Batch OEE Module enhances your MES by linking production events, downtime, and yield directly to specific batches – helping you uncover hidden inefficiencies, ensure compliance, and drive continuous improvement.
- Recipe management: Configure recipes and procedures, or interface with information stored in ERP to provide the shop floor with instructions for how to complete the batch.
- Pre-weigh and execute batch steps: define batch functions, sequential/parallel steps, and tasks (e.g. setup, manual checks, quality checks, sign-off, etc.) to enforce standard procedures.
- Batch monitoring: Track and manage events and overages connected to existing automation infrastructure, TrakSYS provides a clear view of what is happening on the plant floor and informs of events requiring attention. TrakSYS records specific causes of delays and overages and analyses the trends to determine how to reproduce your golden batch.
- Monitor critical parameters: Connect to automation to record and retrieve time-series production and process data. Data Historian further enhances Traceability, enabling users to analyse sources of variation, identify process improvement opportunities, and quickly troubleshoot root causes.
- Track material consumption: Track suppliers, lot numbers, and quality parameters to provide traceability and benchmark supplier performance. Learn more about our Track and Trace solution.
- Batch OEE: Have the ability to analyse data and identify opportunities to improve OEE in batch processing with batch OEE. Learn more about our Performance solution.
- Metrics and reporting: Using extensive analytics, workflow engine, and dashboards of TrakSYS, detailed user-definable reports and electronic batch records (EBRs) can be generated with ease. A complete electronic audit trail of your transactions can be available to meet 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance and the most stringent EBR requirements.
