Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) has introduced a control technology solution that allows operators to ‘look ahead’ into their batch operations processes and see an intuitive and comprehensive timeline of every task required to complete a product batch. Honeywell’s Experion® Batch uses patent-pending visualization technology to provide batch automation processes with distributed control capability. This approach provides operators with insights into upcoming events or potential delays, which make it easier for them to conduct multiple tasks, take appropriate actions sooner and adjust next steps accordingly. It also makes operations less critically dependent on individual operator experience, which will help manufacturers overcome skill gaps at a time when more veteran operators are retiring. Experion Batch is designed for industries such as pharmaceutical, specialty chemical and food processing. The technology simplifies ongoing maintenance by eliminating the need for a centralized, dedicated batch server. This enables engineering and maintenance personnel to take a unit controller out of service without affecting other units. Experion Batch also allows plants to easily and quickly transition from recipe testing to execution while reducing testing and validation efforts, and it is aligned with international batch standards ISA S88 and IEC 61512-1.
