Rockwell Automation released its latest version v12.0 of FactoryTalk Batch software, designed to help ease the process of modifying and creating new recipes by managing the approval process for changes and automatically tracking the genealogy of recipes. New security-authority binding features also help manufacturers protect their intellectual property.
Administrators can use the software to assign specific people or roles to approve recipes before they advance to the production line. This structured approach provides approval traceability and allows quality control managers to more easily manage recipes.
With new version-control capabilities, FactoryTalk Batch v12.0 software can preserve and lock recipes from changes. Later, the recipe can be checked out as a work in progress and automatically assigned a new version. The updated software system automatically stores each version, allowing users to review their genealogy. This helps recipe authors to manage more recipes and save time previously spent manually backing up files for each recipe change.
FactoryTalk Batch software v12.0 was also designed to provide additional protection from intellectual property theft. With security-authority binding, FactoryTalk Batch software helps protect recipes and area models. This extra layer of security helps ensure that important information is inaccessible for viewing, editing or executing by unauthorized users.
The FactoryTalk Batch v12.0 software is now available as part of the PlantPAx process automation system from Rockwell Automation.
