Batch Process Monitoring

This document summarizes a process monitoring system implemented at a manufacturing plant to track suet production from manufacture through packaging. The system monitored various analog and digital measurements using ADAM 5000 units and Eurotherm temperature controllers to provide process trend data and enable issues to be addressed quickly. It also allowed tracking of individual batches to improve planning and knowledge management by building an expert database.

Summary
In order to gain a better understanding of both the process and the equipment being used in the manufacturing process, a wide range of analogue and digital measurements were monitored by Prodigy using 3 ADAM 5000 units. In addition, 7 Eurotherm temperature controllers were also monitored to provide a trend history of the process in relation to ambient conditions. The system was also designed to allow the knowledge gained to be added to that of the expert staff to form a database of information which would enable the process to be run more consistently and problems to be resolved more quickly. Individual batches were monitored to allow tracking of suet production from manufacture through to discharge onto a packaging line and, to improve planning, included a database of suet currently held in a cold store.
