Our Partner Ecosystem Resources Blogs Videos Additional Resources FAQs FAQs What is batch manufacturing software? Batch manufacturing software, also called batch execution software, is used to manage and coordinate the execution of production recipes in batch-oriented industries. It follows the ISA-88 standard, which defines a modular approach to batch process control, enabling repeatable, consistent production across varying equipment and configurations.Proficy Batch Execution from GE Vernova helps manufacturers optimize capacity by dynamically sequencing recipes, coordinating phase logic, and enabling flexible production scheduling. It provides a structured framework to scale batch operations, reduce downtime, and ensure consistency—especially in complex, multi-product environments. How does batch manufacturing software work? Batch execution software works alongside industrial control hardware, such as PLCs, to manage and orchestrate production batches. Following the ISA-88 standard, it breaks down processes into functional units called phases and maps them to a procedural model of the plant. This model helps determine which recipes can run at a given time, ensuring efficient use of available equipment.Proficy Batch Execution interacts directly with plant-floor systems to control recipe execution through predefined phases. It manages transitions, monitors execution status, and supports adjustments while maintaining process integrity—all while capturing data for traceability and analysis. It also helps operators follow standard procedures while making it easier to adapt to production needs in real time. What are the benefits of using batch manufacturing software? Batch manufacturing software improves productivity by optimizing the use of equipment and enabling parallel execution of batches where possible. It also enhances product quality through standardized procedures and consistent recipe enforcement, while allowing for flexibility and adjustments during execution when needed.With Proficy Batch Execution, manufacturers benefit from modular design, improved asset utilization, and faster changeovers. Its electronic batch records, audit trails, and recipe management tools support greater efficiency, reduced errors, and higher yields across production lines. What industries typically use batch manufacturing software? Batch manufacturing software helps increase productivity by optimizing equipment utilization and enabling flexible scheduling. It standardizes production through consistent recipe execution, which reduces variability and improves product quality. The modular approach defined by the ISA-88 standard also allows for greater adaptability and easier process changes.These capabilities are especially valuable for manufacturers producing many SKUs or operating in regulated industries where traceability, repeatability, and efficiency are critical. Batch execution also supports faster changeovers, reduced downtime, and more reliable production runs, helping teams meet quality standards while maximizing output and operational flexibility. How can batch manufacturing software improve production efficiency? Batch manufacturing software is commonly used in industries with recipe-driven production processes, including pharmaceuticals, life sciences, specialty chemicals, consumer goods, and food and beverage. These industries often require flexible scheduling, precise control, and the ability to run many product variations through shared equipment.Batch execution is especially beneficial for facilities with a high number of SKUs and some level of automation already in place. It enables consistent quality, efficient changeovers, and easier compliance with regulatory standards. By coordinating recipe execution across shared resources, it also helps reduce idle time and improve responsiveness to production demands. What features should you look for in batch manufacturing software? Key features to look for include recipe management, ISA-88 model compliance, electronic batch records, manual step support (such as weigh and dispense), and batch reporting and analysis. Integration with PLCs and control hardware is also essential, allowing for seamless coordination between software and process equipment. These capabilities help ensure consistency, flexibility, and traceability throughout batch operations.Proficy Batch Execution supports all of these key capabilities, along with phase logic management, event-based execution, audit trails, and electronic signatures to support regulatory compliance. It also provides secure user access controls and role-based permissions to help streamline validation processes. These features enable manufacturers to improve throughput, reduce manual errors, and meet the demands of both high-mix production and regulated environments. What is the difference between batch manufacturing and continuous manufacturing? Batch manufacturing involves producing products in defined quantities or “batches,” with multiple changeovers, shorter process cycles, and recipe-driven variations. It is well-suited for facilities that make different products on the same equipment, especially when demand varies or customization is needed. Each batch can be adjusted, recorded, and analyzed independently.In contrast, continuous manufacturing produces a steady flow of material, often with fewer changeovers and longer production cycles. It typically supports high-volume, single-product processes, such as petrochemical or large-scale beverage production, where stopping the process is costly. Batch execution provides more flexibility, while continuous processes offer efficiency for standardized, high-throughput operations. How does batch manufacturing software support compliance with industry regulations? Batch manufacturing software supports regulatory compliance by enforcing recipe standards, managing user access, and maintaining complete audit trails of all production activity. It records deviations, operator actions, and system responses, making it easier to demonstrate adherence to protocols during inspections. Many systems also support electronic signatures to meet industry guidelines like FDA 21 CFR Part 11.These features are especially valuable in industries like pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and food production, where strict documentation and traceability requirements are common. By automating checks and validations, batch software helps ensure consistent execution, reduces manual error, and simplifies compliance reporting across regulated operations. How does batch manufacturing software integrate with ERP systems? Batch manufacturing software typically integrates with ERP systems to exchange key production data. It receives inputs such as product recipes, material specifications, work orders, and the production schedule, and sends outputs like material consumption, batch records, and quality reports back to the ERP. This bi-directional communication ensures alignment between planning and execution layers across the enterprise.Integration is commonly achieved through REST APIs, SQL-based communication, or middleware that bridges the gap between systems. A well-integrated batch execution system can automatically push and pull data with minimal manual input, improving data accuracy and reducing administrative workload. This connectivity also helps ensure that production decisions are based on up-to-date business requirements.
