Pilot Plant Batch Control System
Requirement
Control System for Pilot Plant Batch Control System
Challenges
Lack of precision in the manual batching process, leading to inconsistent product quality before moving to mass batch production.
Frequent human errors causing rework and delays in the batch production cycle.
The need for a recording of batch details like timing, batch number, number of batches released in shifts, intermediate parameters of the particular batch and further provide corrective inputs to upcoming batches.
Scope of Work
- Detailed understanding of functional requirements.
- Development and configuration of PLC and SCADA applications.
- System testing and commissioning.
- On-site training for operators to ensure seamless operation.
Solution
We designed and implemented a customized PLC and SCADA-based solution for their pilot plant’s batch control system. Key features of the solution included:
- A user-friendly interface to monitor and control the batch process efficiently.
- A robust and flexible recipe management system tailored to their unique chemical formulations.
- Integration of Emerson's conformal-coated standalone controllers for enhanced reliability in a harsh chemical environment.
- Advanced SCADA to track batch history and ensure compliance with industry standards.
