Process Automation
The D/3® DCS is a state-of-the-art process automation system built on a flexible, open architecture. Sequence and Batch Language (SABL® ) allows for faster development and testing of continuous and sequence process logic and more advanced control capabilities than that offered by a PLC/HMI solution. Most importantly, the investment required for the NovaTech solution is at a comparable price point. A familiar Microsoft® Windows® operating environment provides easy management and complete control of real-time process information throughout your enterprise.
S88 Batch Management
Effective control of batch manufacturing and product recipes is a brewery's biggest challenge and greatest opportunity for competitive advantage. FlexBatch™ allows you to integrate recipe management and the manufacturing process, accelerating your time to market and improving your bottom line.
FlexBatch has produced:
- 8% increase in throughput
- 20% reduction in batch cycle times
- 5% increase in production yield
- 80% reuse of software
