“We experienced very good process control with APACS+, but just by installing PCS 7 with BATCH and doing nothing else, we saw a 5% increase in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).”
Using BATCH, Jayhawk can configure, plan, control and log batch processes directly in PCS 7 while conforming to FDA guidelines. SIMIT allows the team to test new control strategies, including sequences, and make any necessary changes prior to deployment. They have minimized engineering efforts with the PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL), which affords them the ability to configure their regulatory controls such as motors, valves and control loops with a pre-tested and proven library.
SIMATIC ET200iSP IO has greatly streamlined their installation design, simplified their wiring strategies, and minimized costs and space requirements since external barriers are no longer needed.
