New batch production management software
April 2006
IT in Manufacturing
GE Fanuc Automation is offering its new Proficy Batch Version 5.0 software, which delivers data collection, batch management, process visualisation and supervisory control capabilities.
"Batch Version 5.0 has been optimised to boost production efficiency, increase return on investment (ROI) and improve batch manufacturers' ability to meet regulatory demands," Daniel Coetzee, manager of Sub-Saharan Africa for the GE Fanuc Automation division of GE Industrial.
Coetzee continues: "Part of the Proficy Automation and Production software family, Proficy Batch Version 5.0 introduces new features such as Batch Direct, to speed up implementation and reduce costs."
Today's business environment is extremely competitive, and the pressure has never been higher to work faster, more efficiently and more consistently. Each batch run must be perfectly executed. Every aspect of production must be perfectly documented, and companies must be able to repeat the so-called 'golden batch' time and time again.
Coetzee concludes: "With this latest version of Proficy Batch, users will find the critical tools to achieve the highest levels of implementation efficiency, production quality and system connectivity - and transform production processes into a powerful competitive advantage."
