INBATCH OVERVIEW
InBatch software is a flexible batch management system that automates batch processes and provides a complete batch history. Consistent with the ISA-88 standard, InBatch software allows you to quickly and easily create recipes and simulate their execution against a model of the process - all before writing one line of control code.
InBatch software excels at automating the simplest to the most complex batch processes managing multiple batches of multiple products on networked equipment or when demanding high flexibility in recipe creation and modification. Integration with ArchestrA? System Platform enables true end to end manufacturing operations management and enhances InBatch with the rich functionality of the whole Wonderware Software portfolio, including Wonderware Historian?, ArchestrA Workflow?, MES Software and InTouch? HMI.
PROCESS MODELING AND RECIPE MANAGEMENT
InBatch’s recipes are based on the ISA-88 Process Model by defining the plant’s equipment and
processing capabilities as well as its control and information requirements. InBatch enhances the ISA-
88 model by adding connections and transfer capabilities. Integration of a comprehensive material
model eases the process modeling and enhances the batch management capabilities. Once the
process model is defined, recipes can be easily created, simulated, scheduled and executed.
BATCH MANAGEMENT, HISTORY AND REPORTING
InBatch software’s batch management
system consists of scheduling, initializing, equipment arbitration, allocation and release,
coordinating the processing of batches with
the control system, interfacing with operator
runtime clients, and directing batch activity,
material consumption and production records
to the historical database.
InBatch software offers a comprehensive set
of interactive Web-based reports off the shelf.
InBatch reports are leveraging Wonderware Information Server.

WONDERWARE INBATCH SOFTWARE FEATURES
PROCESS MODELING
A model of the process is created interactively using the InBatch Process Model Editor. A batch processing plant is made up of units, process classes, connections, transfer classes, process- and transfer-phases.
?A “unit” is a piece of equipment that processes
materials such as reactors, mixers, blenders. A unit
can also simply hold materials such as holding tanks
and bulk storage vessels.
?“Process classes” are used to define process
capabilities. Each unit in the class has the same
processing capabilities and/or performs the
same functions.
?“Connections” define equipment that transfers
material from a source unit to a destination unit.
?“Transfer” classes are used to define transfer
capabilities where all source units are in the same
process class and all destination units are in the
same process class.
?“Process phases,” with their parameters, are used to describe capabilities of process classes.?“Transfer phases,” with their parameters are used to describe capabilities of transfer classes. Process models for batch facilities are based on two primary modeling approaches: the comprehensive model and the connectionless model. You can also use a hybrid model that contains elements of both.
The comprehensive model uses all of the available configuration tools of the InBatch software including process classes as well as transfer classes. The connectionless model deals only with the definition
of process classes. In this case, the movement of material between units is accomplished using complementary transfer phases that are assigned to a process class rather than to a transfer class.
An integral part of process modeling involves defining specific tags for units, processes, connections, and transfers. Tags allow mapping data between InBatch and Controllers or within ArchestrA System Platform.
MATERIALS MANAGEMENT
InBatch Materials Management is used to provide materials
tracking and tracing. Materials are defined as ingredients,
intermediates, finished goods, by-products and others, and
include the characteristics of each material. The batch manager
uses the materials’ location data to access specific details, such
as ingredients during the manufacture of a batch. This capability
allows master recipes to be independent of a materials’ location.
Materials can change location with no effect on recipe execution.
The batch management system updates the material database
when ingredients are used and when intermediates and
finished goods are produced. InBatch provides access to work-in-process (WIP) information and
can be used to update higher level management systems and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) with ingredient usage, work-in-process, and finished goods production information.
RECIPE MANAGEMENT
RECIPE CONFIGURATION
InBatch coordinates configuring and
managing recipes in accordance with the
guidelines outlined in the ISA-88 Batch
Control Standard. The InBatch Recipe Editor
supports all three sublevels of the recipe
procedure and provides an IEC 61131-3
graphical environment to configure, copy, and
modify master recipes.
The InBatch Recipe Editor uses the
information in the process model and
materials management as part of recipe procedure development. An InBatch master recipe may
or may not be size specific, and can be assigned to any process line that has fits the equipment requirements defined in the recipe. All formula quantities for ingredients, intermediates, by-products, and finished goods are configured as either actual quantities or scalable as a percent of the batch size.
A recipe validation function allows you to validate recipes to verify that the process model, the material information and the reports used in the recipe exist; minimum, maximum, and default batch sizes are defined, and formula parameter are linked appropriately. Additionally, all transition logic, including loop logic, is validated.
A master recipe becomes a control recipe when it is initialized by the InBatch Management System, after it is scheduled to run on a train. Formula quantities expressed as percentages are automatically scaled. At batch completion, an operator with the appropriate security role may save the control recipe with all phase parameter edits and/or the equipment used as a new master recipe.
RECIPE IMPORT/EXPORT FEATURING BatchML
The Recipe Editor features a BatchML standards-based XML file import and export that allows you to move or share recipe information between multiple InBatch or third party systems. The Batch Markup Language (BatchML) is courtesy of the World Batch Forum, and consists of a set of XML schemata. InBatch continues to support a proprietary RCP binary file for export and import.
RECIPE VERSION HISTORY AND RECIPE COMPARISON
InBatch software maintains the history of a master recipe with
date and time stamp, author name, and optional comments.
Up to five levels of recipe approvals can be implemented.
The system can be configured to save the recipe version
as BatchML document to disk each time a recipe is saved
or approved.
The InBatch recipe comparison allows analyzing the differences
of two selected recipe version documents in an interactive drill
down report. A “print report” function provides for printing of a
comparison report.
BATCH MANAGEMENT
The Batch Management System schedules, initializes, coordinates the processing of batches with the control system, interfaces with operators, and directs batch records to the historical batch database.
BATCH SCHEDULING
A batch is scheduled by entering campaign, lot,
and batch ID, as well as the desired batch size. A
Recipe as well as the train need to be selected.
When the batch size entered is greater than the
defined maximum batch size of the recipe, the
Batch Scheduler opens a dialog box to confirm the
splitting into multiple batches. Once confirmed,
the proposed number of batches is automatically
generated and are added to the list.
The batch scheduling function maintains a list of batches to be produced. The user can opt to select any listed batch for execution unless the system has been configured to enforce batch execution in order.
BATCH VALIDATION
The batch initialization performs several checks to ensure that the batch can be properly processed. Batch validation includes verification of recipe existence in the database, process model and materials references, equipment requirements are satisfied by the train and batch size against the allowed boundaries.
BATCH EXECUTION
The Batch Manager directs and supervises the
processing of each batch by interpreting a recipe
and enabling the control system. Based on the recipe
procedure, the Batch Manager activates phases to
run. Before activating a phase, the Batch Manager
verifies that the phase is ready to be processed. If so,
phase parameter values are downloaded, and the
phase is started. The Batch Manager also interfaces
with the batch display modules to provide operators
with information enabling interaction on the batches
running in the system.
BATCH HISTORY — ELECTRONIC BATCH RECORD (EBR)
InBatch software automatically captures and stores all data associated with the batch execution.
This includes material genealogy, batch events, phase events and equipment arbitration, including allocation and release, equipment status changes, operator actions and comments, and any alarms associated with a particular batch. InBatch also maintains a complete trail of all security system events. Additionally, InBatch supports Microsoft? SQL Server 2012 for its historical database.
BATCH REPORTS
InBatch software includes a comprehensive set of more than
20 Web-based production reports, leveraging Wonderware?
Information Server. InBatch can automatically trigger reports
during batch execution or at the end of a batch. Reports can be
customized to help users easily schedule, generate and view
batch reports within a browser. Automatic capture of records and
related reporting capabilities provide immediate access to accurate
information from your batch processes and help to eliminate paper
records and reduce batch release cycles.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
InBatch software provides comprehensive capabilities to facilitate the design and implementation of systems, applications and solutions that comply with regulations such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11. InBatch software has played a critical role in the creation of many FDA-validated applications in industry. InBatch enables enforced batch sequencing; the operator is restricted to execute only the currently-active step. In addition, each step can have “done-by” and “check-by” security applied, to ensure that the steps are performed in the order presented. The “done-by/check-by” security becomes an electronic signature in the batch record to comply with 21CFR Part 11 requirements.
ENHANCED MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
ARCHESTRA PLATFORM INTEGRATION
InBatch’s rich functionality can be used stand alone, but it is best leveraged and easily extended with
the power of ArchestrA System Platform. InBatch provides batch object templates for units, connections, segments and phases and a model import utility to automatically build and synchronize the InBatch process model in the Wonderware Application Server model. This platform integration simplifies building a common real time data model across all manufacturing operations which may span across receiving, batching, filling, packaging and shipping. InBatch execution information is available to be directly leveraged by other software functionality such as Wonderware Historian, Wonderware MES Software, or ArchestrA Workflow to provide activities such as Asset Utilization and OEE monitoring, Quality sample plan execution and statistical process control, and triggering workflows for any planned or unplanned events. WONDERWARE INTELLIGENCE
For advanced analytics and reporting, Wonderware
Intelligence (Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence)
can be used to create a real-time oriented
information model which contextualizes data from
multiple data sources.
Wonderware Intelligence provides powerful
analytics and interactive dashboard visualization
in a self-service access approach which empowers
operational stakeholders.
Wonderware Intelligence comes with a
preconfigured data model, dashboards and reports
for InBatch.
WONDERWARE INBATCH ARCHITECTURE
The InBatch Server hosts a process model, material and recipe information, coordinates batch
execution, and facilitates operator interaction by either being directly connected to a control system or
via ArchestrA System Platform integration. Multiple InBatch Servers can be configured to share a single
Batch History database. InBatch facilitates the deployment of solution architectures to meet the needs
of critical batch applications and high availability:
InBatch Server Warm Restart Capability - Batch Manager has the ability to restore a previously known-good state of the system upon restart after unexpected system shutdown.
Redundant InBatch Server Option - the Redundant Batch Server mirrors the operations of the primary server. In the event that a hardware issue occurs on the primary server, the back-up server automatically assumes the status as the primary server and continues the batch execution. InBatch supports Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere virtualization platforms options to implement HA (High Availability) and DR (Disaster Recovery) architectures.
InBatch software provides remote development and runtime client applications, as well as
ActiveX Controls that can be easily integrated into Wonderware InTouch HMI process graphic displays,
providing operators with an integrated user interface to the batch server. The Terminal Server Edition
for InBatch clients is a cost-effective solution for applications that benefit from central administration
and maintenance of multiple InBatch clients. An Operator Runtime client failover option provides
support for Terminal Server high availability concepts.
Interfaces — InBatch software includes a set of programmatic interfaces to develop custom batch
interface applications, provide access to the material and the recipe databases, to access the batch
function interface and to extend the capabilities of the Batch Manager.
Connectivity — InBatch offers connectivity to any control system or plant floor device through
Wonderware DA Servers. External databases
and other software systems can be connected through ArchestrA System Platform.
ArchestrA System Platform Integration —
InBatch includes a communication interface, a set of Batch Automation Object templates,
ArchestrA Graphics and an InBatch model
import utility for the ArchestrA IDE. Batch Events are exposed using the ArchestrA Service Bus.
