FactoryTalk Batch Features

FactoryTalk Batch software enables the deferral of critical material identity details, such as Parameters, Lots, and Labels, until later in the batch creation workflow. This process effectively reduces the need for various unique recipes to accelerate the deployment of new products and significantly improves the overall efficiency of material-based recipe management within the system. Batch setup becomes adaptable by quickly adjusting to different material requirements.

See How It Works

The software incorporates a new generation of batch journal file formats specifically designed for structured data parsing and external sharing. This updated format includes provisions for adding new data fields to facilitate richer record keeping with the crucial advantage that the backward compatibility of the file structure is maintained and ensures continuous functionality with existing analysis tools.

See How It Works

The underlying database schema used for data archiving improves performance and speed for transactional activities. This improvement accelerates the execution of all historical data queries and reports required for compliance and analysis. A dedicated database migration utility ensures a smooth and reliable transition when moving data from previous versions to the current architecture.

See How It Works

Recipe management includes the ability to use customized scripts to automate the import and creation of new recipes, which eliminates the dependency on manual data entry. This scripting capability speeds up development workflows and reduces the potential for human error during data transfer, which makes the handling of Batch XML files for importing and exporting recipe information easier.

See How It Works

FactoryTalk Batch allows the utilization of scripts to import complete or partial Area Model XML (AXML) files directly into an Equipment Model configuration (CFG) file. The import operation is executed through Command line or custom scripts, which allows development environments to utilize preferred external tools. This process facilitates the simple inclusion of pre-engineered equipment hierarchies within the FactoryTalk Batch configuration.
