Batch Management
System
Batching Execution systems empower manufacturers
to create consistent products faster while avoiding waste.
Especially in the perishable goods industry,
batch management is essential.
What is a Batch Management System?
A batch management system is a solution that controls, monitors, and tracks batches of materials throughout the supply chain. Traditionally, there are two parts to a batch management system. The first part configures and creates the recipes, and the second part executes these recipes by for example driving the equipment needed to make the product.
The advantages of Batching Execution
A good batch management solution is critical especially in the process and make-to-order industry with complex bills-of-material (BOM) and perishable goods. Implementing it in your business has the following benefits:
- Reduce the time needed to produce goods.
- Create consistency in products.
- Get standardized, routine quality checks.
