Help assure that your products are being manufactured correctly

Batch Execution from GE Digital is a powerful and featurerich batch automation solution. The software provides a straightforward application development environment, empowering process owners to quickly and efficiently deploy batch automation, regardless of the underlying equipment.

The solution includes data collection, robust batch management, clear process visualization, and powerful supervisory control capabilities—enabling a complete batch solution for life sciences, food and beverage, consumer goods and specialty chemical industries.

01 Powerful and easy  recipes 

Write, schedule and execute recipes that have sequence variations and compose drastically different recipes without having to modify PLC code.  Based on the S88 model with the concept of classes, you can build recipes to run on any units within a class and gain greater agility.

 02 Smarter and faster development

The software solution delivers a fast, simple, and effective batch development platform, which allows you to model your plant floor equipment, add equipment paths, equipment priority and status, and create and manage reusable recipe components.

03 Improved security and compliance

 Batch Execution delivers point-of-entry verification through Electronic Signatures in the active controls and Recipe/ Equipment editors—supporting 21 CFR Part 11 compliance by enabling equipment and recipe auditing and version control. It also centralizes the storage location for e-records with encrypted store-and-forward technology that automatically provides a runtime and configuration audit trail.

04 Open layered solution

Batch Execution seamlessly integrates with any OPCcompliant HMI/ SCADA, MES/ERP, PLC-based or DCS system, allowing OPC browsing to establish connection and automatic creation of tags, incorporating alarm and control changes.

05 Operator views and controls

Batch visualization can be incorporated into your GE Digital HMI/SCADA Screens.  Procedures can be seen in a Sequential Function Chart (SFC), table, event journal.  Work Instruction provides the operator with a sequence of steps to properly execute a batch.  Campaign Manager allows for automatic scheduling of batches.

Features • ISA S88.01 Compliant System provides a standard structure for your plant floor, simplifying the development of batch systems.

• IEC 61131-3 Sequential Function Chart programming language provides a simple graphical language for developing procedure flow in recipes.

• Formulation Management allows engineers to reuse validated

recipe procedures with predefined parameter sets.

• Campaign Management simplifies the operator experience of fulfilling large process orders by accepting a process order and scheduling a list of batches.

• Transition Breakpoints allow engineers to temporarily pause a batch during execution

Software requirements

• Windows 7, 8, or 10

 • Windows 2008, 2012, or 2016 Server

 (NOTE): Batch does not install directly on any 64-bit operating system.  Batch does support 64-bit operating systems utilizing WOW (Windows on Windows).
