Batch Manager - Effective Batch Process Control with Experion

Experion Batch Manager provides a single, robust controller platform for creating and completely executing all levels of the ISA S88 procedural model. Not only can users quickly modify and run an entire batch recipe, they can also manually operate certain parts of it to address their specific needs. In addition, Experion Batch Manager reduces reliability and maintenance issues and communication latency to address users' demand for faster delivery cycles with 100% on-spec production.

Through a single operating and engineering platform for batch execution, it does away with costs associated with a server and additional batch hardware/software. Since it runs on an optionally redundant controller, Experion Batch Manager offers high reliability for users to maintain consistency in product quality.

Experion Batch Manager can run on any one of Honeywell’s Experion controllers: Application Control Environment (ACE), C200E or C300. Since it runs in the faster environment of the controller, it reduces batch cycle times to deliver increased plant throughput.

With Experion Batch Manager, changes to the batch system – modification in equipment and recipe configuration, and hardware addition/removal – can be done online without shutting down any element. Since all controllers configured in an Experion server behave as a single virtual controller, it reduces the engineering effort to design and configure a batch system and lowers hardware costs. Ease-of-use for operators and engineers is decidedly enhanced with the Experion Batch Manager using the same visual conventions and tools as the rest of Experion.

​Experion Batch Manager helps users maximize productivity of their assets and optimize their current investments. By enabling higher flexibility in modifying recipes, it helps manufacturers produce an increasing number of different products cost effectively and rapidly. Finally, it helps users stay competitive by reducing their production costs, including hardware, software and maintenance costs.
