Productivity
Productivity. Productivity is a measure of the efficiency of production. Productivity is a ratio of production output to what is required to
produce it (inputs). Improving the quality-price-ratio of commodities is to a producer an
essential way to enhance the production performance.

Impact on Product Quality Attributes
Predict the changes in the recipe and process that need to be made to achieve the same end product. Allow process to make decisions based on business rules Provide personnel data to make decisions the control system is
not setup for.
If all the information pertinent to the production of a batch could be captured and correlated to the various quality points, then better decisions could be made to improve the overall quality of the final product.

Manual Data Collection Quality and Visibility Often, manual data is transposed to electronic form, this data is
delayed and vulnerable to errors.
If possible, Manual Data collection and/or recording should be automated.
Information is then instantly available to the entire system for better decision making.

Receiving initiation
The operator is requested to provide material and lot ID
This information can be scanned to minimize operator data entry.
Based on the material being received (MA) and the possible destinations (Silo 1 and 4) and taking into account the filling order, silo 1 should be the destination
Process Demo Raw Material Major Liquid and Solid Ingredient Receiving
Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.
The required destination is silo 1
The operator is prompted to check the transfer panel
The transfer panel is set to silo 4
Starting inventory in silo 1 is 1000

The operator acknowledges the prompt The system rechecks for the correct destination
The transfer panel is set to silo 1
The system proceeds to transfer material
End or Hold the transfer

Ending inventory in silo 1 is 1000 1000 + 15000 = 2500
Note: These inventories are estimates based on reported amounts added and removed from the containers

factored into the calculated amount to be dosed. • This strategy allows the
recipe formula to be maintained while the material properties change.
• The system will dynamically adapt the amount (weight) required

Operations Aspects (Batch Security) Command Authorization security
Full access control to operations Ensures that personnel are prompted for
signatures when commands are executed.
Parameter and Report deviation authorization Manual and Automatic Phases Three Levels of limit values can be secured
Electronic Signatures Up to three signatures for authorization Logs intent of each signature Full names logged in event journal Available in Batch View and active X’s
Limits and values displayed
Required Signatures, * is the last one to sign

The material concentration and cost have been specified as properties. The phase has access to this data upon binding to a container.

Formulator Aspects (Recipe Formula Value features)
Recipe author's can write parameter, transition, & binding expressions to create “intelligent” recipes that reference unit tags, attributes, input/output parameters.
Options to define report parameters at all levels of the recipe including phase, operation, unit procedure, and procedure.
Phase report parameters give you the ability to accumulate values uploaded by phase logic.

The enabling technology to build equipment (unit) binding requirements and preferences into procedures.
Decisions can be based on: Preference Requirement
Use “Smart Binding” to address: Cost Concerns (use the “warmest” reactor) Clean-in-place Requirements (“peanut-free”
product) Out-of-Service Status (scheduled maintenance) Unit/Recipe Compatibility (Glass Lined Reactors) Avoid using Unit with unneeded functionality
(recipe doesn’t need agitator)
Smart Binding (Equipment auto selected)
Use to optimize the production process
Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.
Reduce Recipe Management Define all recipes as class based, then set
specific requirements through unit attributes
Improve energy efficiency Select cleanest or warmest unit for
reduced heating requirements
Improve quality and reduce rework Eliminate product transfer routing errors
by operators through pre-built binding requirements algorithms
Improve Process efficiency Reduction in Batch cycle time due to
reduced dynamic routing decision time Unit requirement and preferences
algorithms can react dynamically to changing unit conditions after schedule has been initiated

Standard Reports Available (050 – Forward Tracking)
Track and Trace requirements are a very critical in many industries today. Track & Trace can be separated into the following two parts. •Forward Tracking enables a search on raw material lot or equipment to provide a list of all final batches that used that material or equipment. This is primarily used when there is a raw material recall or issues with equipment are discovered. •Backward Tracing enables a search on a specific batch produced and returns the list of all raw material lots and equipment used in that batch. This is primarily used to determine all items in the batch when a defective batch is identified. (ie. Customer issue or final product recall.)
Let’s examine 050 - Forward Tracking… The “Forward Tracking” report introduces the new selection “Report Type”. This dropdown allows the user to define if the search should be by “Lot” or by “Equipment”. For this example, select Lot from the dropdown:
Each line of this report shows the Batch ID, recipe name, amount consumed, and event time for the consumption of “Lot-A-01” as selected from a dropdown menu:

The “Backward Tracing” report will appear for Unique ID = 5. (Batch ID = 20090514_1100.05). In this report we can see a listing of all materials,

Standard Reports Available (070 – Batch Execution)
Any delay in the premix process can delay the overall reactor cycle time. Here we can see that the operator took approximately 324 seconds to complete the manual addition to the premix vessel.
Let’s examine 070 – Batch Execution… The “Batch Execution” report will appear for Unique ID = 4. This report graphically shows the detailed time execution of the batch. To maximize the value of this report, the user needs an understanding of the process. In this production process, the premix material is first created and then added to the reactor.

Let’s examine the 080-Duration Comparison… From the query header, select Start Time Calendar, and select May 1, 2009 From the query header, select End Time Calendar, and select June 1, 2009. From the query header, enter *20090514* into the “Batch ID Filter” and hit the Enter key (Be sure to use the asterisk (*) wildcard both before and after the entry. This ensures we get the full production run) We want to compare all batches in this campaign, so we will leave all batches checked under the “Unique ID”.

Standard Reports Available (080 – Duration Comparison)
NOTE: From this view, we can see both a bar chart view of batch duration as well as a table of raw data. Notice that the early batches 1 & 2 (green & blue bars) took longer to execute and the stopped batch 5 (yellow bar) shows a short duration. This gives the user a good overview of cycle time.

Standard Reports Available (090 – Batch Exceptions)
Let’s examine the 090-Batch Exceptions… The “Batch Exception” report displays all batches in range with: •Abnormal State Changes – These states include Held, Stopped, Aborted, and/or Paused. •Alarms & Events – The web based reports can be linked to the standard FactoryTalk Alarms & Events database table in SQL server. The FTAE “Alarm Class” field of the report is used to associate a specific alarm/event with a batch unit name. Simply add the batch unit name to this alarm/event field and all alarms/events triggered during the batch unit execution will be reported. •Batch Failures – Includes all FactoryTalk Batch configured alarms.
•Out Of Tolerance – Includes a list of all Setpoint vs. Actual comparisons identified as out of tolerance. The “out-of-tolerance” flag is a report register set by the control system during execution of the phase based on coded conditions, not batch server interpretation. This ensures maximum flexibility in determining the out-of-tolerance state.

Conclusion: We can Improve Operations Productivity
We can help predict the changes in the recipe and process that need to be made to achieve the same end product.
We can allow process to make decisions based on business rules
We can provide personnel data to make decisions the control system is not setup for.
The information pertinent to the production of a batch could be captured an correlated to the various quality points.
Better decisions could be made to improve the overall quality of the final product.
