November 8, 2012 - Invensys Operations Management updated Wonderware InBatch software. The updated version offers better support for virtualization platforms with high availability and disaster recovery for InBatch recipe management and batch execution solutions. Additionally, it is fully compatible with the latest versions of the company’s ArchestrA System Platform, Foxboro Control Software and Foxboro I/A Series distributed control systems.
InBatch software offers a full range of batch-management capabilities, including recipe management, batch execution management, equipment history, material genealogy, stringent security, web-based reporting and the ability to facilitate the design and implementation of systems that are compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations.
The software has comprehensive modeling capabilities, going beyond ISA-S88, so that the runtime batch engine can manage these flexible product paths, including equipment allocation/arbitration, and allowing batch execution management for multiple, concurrent batches on shared equipment and connections.
- Securely and simultaneously executes multiple and concurrent batches by intelligent equipment arbitration, allocation and release, handled by the InBatch server;
- Exceeds ISA-88 standards with its transfer classes and material management concept;
- Enables connections and transfers management in a single phase and provides full batch genealogy;
- Operates independently of the control system to maximize flexibility and simplify control code;
- Integration with ArchestrA System Platform extends rich software functionality that can be used as an abstraction layer, protecting existing control code in brownfield sites;
- Supports Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere 5.0 platforms and virtualization technologies, including advanced options for high availability and disaster recovery.
