FlexBatch™ S88 Batch Management

FlexBatch integrates recipe management and the manufacturing process so that product developers, engineers and production staff can quickly develop, produce, schedule, and manage documented, executable recipes, reducing time-to-market and improving the bottom line.

FlexBatch stores recipes and batch records in a relational database, making it easy to access recipe and electronic batch records from any desktop application using ODBC. FlexBatch reports are written in Microsoft® Access and are fully user-customizable. NovaTech Process Solutions actively participates on the ISA SP88 Committee for Batch Control and is a Founding Sponsor of the World Batch Forum. FlexBatch is designed specifically with these standards in mind.

FlexBatch Features


  • Recipes contain a graphical Procedure Chart providing the logic sequences to make individual products
  • Chemists or process engineers can easily develop product recipes without becoming control systems experts
  • Procedure Charts greatly reduce the amount of controller programming which reduces life-cycle costs
  • Control system programming is confined to equipment specific knowledge not product-specific knowledge
  • Process management supports a campaign/batch hierarchy for scheduling production
  • Campaigns and batches can be scheduled for automatic execution or requiring operator participation at any step of the process
  • You can modify the schedule at any time, assign batches to specific equipment or let FlexBatch pick the equipment based upon availability, and monitor batch events and production
  • Electronic Batch Records are automatically created as a recipe executes to meet regulatory compliance
  • Software modularity provides improved reliability, lower initial cost, and reduced long-term maintenance
