Digital Formula and Recipe Management
Aveva Pipeline Management offers a comprehensive digital formula and recipe management solution that caters to both batch production operations and production lines. With this commercial off-the-shelf software, businesses can optimize, deploy, adapt, and execute recipes with ease. By utilizing this system, operational efficiency and flexibility are significantly increased through a reduction in product changeover time. Moreover, it enforces product quality and repeatability by automating parameter download and procedure execution. By maintaining electronic change and execution history records, including electronic signatures, businesses can lower the cost of compliance.
Formula Management and Download
The software provides fast and consistent equipment setup, which is crucial for maintaining flexibility and consistent quality in manufacturing processes. Formula management focuses on managing formulas and equipment to ensure consistent parameter value transfer to control systems. Formulas are defined independently of shop floor equipment, enabling central management of product definitions for use across multiple production locations, regardless of automation systems in place. Formula download is simple, using a web-based user interface. Operators can easily assign, review, adjust, and download formulas to connected automation systems.
Recipe Management and Execution
Aveva Pipeline Management includes recipe management and execution capabilities that allow businesses to create procedures defining the order of equipment execution. Recipes include the defined procedure and a mapped formula that dictates the product-making process by associating a formula and capability parameters. Manual capabilities enable manual data entry and acknowledgment. Operators can assign a recipe to equipment, monitor and control its execution, and adjust parameter values within defined limits before or during execution.
Electronic Change and Execution History Record
Users have access to comprehensive history records and reporting, enabling them to view historical information about formulas and recipes that have been created, changed, or executed. All equipment, formulas, and recipes are versioned items, with any configuration change incrementing the version number. Electronic records automatically document formula downloads and recipe executions, and can be configured for electronic signatures to comply with industry regulations like FDA 21 CFR Part 11 or cGMP guidelines.
Integrate with Any Automation System
This software seamlessly integrates with System Platform or functions standalone with any control system via the OPC UA Data Access specification. The recipe procedure is coordinated with the control system through a state interface that aligns with ISA-88 standards. The user-friendly Recipe Management interface is accessible via a web browser on desktops, HMIs, or mobile devices. Operators can access the execution web page on a browser or through InTouch for System Platform.
