Optimizing Flexible Batch Operations
Aveva Pipeline Management software provides comprehensive solutions for managing flexible batch operations in various process industries, including life sciences, fine chemicals, and food and beverage/CPG sectors. This software adheres to ISA-88 standards for batch control, offering guidance and oversight for both recipe management and batch execution processes. By coordinating seamlessly with plant control systems, interfacing with operators, and directing batch activities, material flow, and production data to a historical database, it ensures a complete electronic batch record (EBR).
Enhancing Quality and Efficiency
Manufacturers utilizing Aveva Pipeline Management witness improved yields through enhanced product quality and operational efficiency. Automation of batch processes guarantees consistent quality according to recipe specifications, maximizes asset utilization, eliminates paper records, and reduces batch release time cycles. The software's control-system-neutral approach allows for standardized recipe and batch management across the organization, simplifying the new product introduction (NPI) process and increasing agility in responding to market demands.
Driving Operational Excellence
Aveva Pipeline Management helps companies achieve operational excellence by offering a 20% increase in productivity, 30% quality improvement, 20% increase in equipment utilization, and 40% reduction in engineering costs. By accelerating the digital transformation journey, it maximizes the return on capital investment and enhances overall profitability.
Key Features of Batch Management
Aveva Pipeline Management includes features like recipe execution management, automated capture and storage of batch execution data, complete product genealogy, and material traceability. This control-system-neutral software empowers process engineers to create and modify recipes systematically and safely without specific expertise in the underlying control system. The Batch Management server hosts the process model, material details, and recipe information, coordinating batch execution across networked equipment and facilitating operator interaction. It also manages batch execution directly by connecting to a control system or via System Platform integration.
Compliance and Security
Aveva Pipeline Management ensures regulatory compliance with standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and Eudralex Vol.4 Annex 11. By enforcing batch sequencing, ensuring 'done-by' and 'check-by' security, and adding electronic signatures to batch records, it helps maintain compliance. The software's built-in security features and material management capabilities contribute to detailed electronic batch records that meet regulatory requirements for computer systems used in manufacturing.
