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 food and beverage production facility'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

Process Visualization

TotalVision® presents real-time data from your entire enterprise in a single vector-based pan and zoom view. Graphics representing pumps, motors, valves, vessels and other equipment alert you to abnormal conditions based on pre-defined logic. Choose from a library thousands of pre-existing graphics or quickly customize new ones. Updated behaviors are distributed instantly to every operator terminal.
