The IPS Batch Control System provides sequential and logic-based control for discontinuous processes or those in which product is made in lots as compared to being continuously produced. This system allows users to create recipes to manage multiple lines of production for hundreds of different products.
IPS Batch Management reduces cycle time and minimizes engineering effort by:
- Creation and utilization of generic recipes for bulk deployment of recipes
- Simple integration to Manufacturing Execution Systems and recipe change-over
- ISA S88 compliance for Equipment Management
- Integrated Schedule Management and visualization – optimizing asset utilization
IPS also provides consultative services to our clients leveraging twenty-five plus years of experience in the field of discontinuous control. IPS works with our clients to design and define all of the units, phases, and operations to create an elegant solution that not only provides control but also optimizes production for our clients.
Our batch systems are installed at a wide array of best-in-class plants in both the Specialty Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries. Our rich heritage and close alignment with these industries allow us to provide a highly compliant system (21 CFR Part 11, IEC 61131, and S88) to our users for a multitude of applications.
However, discontinuous control is useful outside of the traditional Batch industries and IPS is the leader in providing sequential control solutions to complex start-up, shut-down, and recipe-driven operations in the continuous processing industries. IPS works with industry leaders to provide heat reduction, safety optimization, and automated start-up in the Hydrocarbon Processing, Upstream Refining, and Power Generation industries.
The IPS Batch suite matched with the I/A Series System for control empowers our clients to maximize their asset efficiencies in a globally deployable, highly-repeatable fashion.
