BATCHES
Managing Change in Batch Processing

BATCHES is a proven, most comprehensive and versatile simulation system to manage multiproduct batch/semicontinuous processes in the pharmaceutical, specialty chemical and food industries. BATCHES has been successfully used worldwide to improve the profitability of batch/semicontinuous presses. BATCHES modeling constructs are conceptually similar to the concepts and models for batch manufacturing described in the ANSI/ISA-S88.1 standards. BATCHES is the only simulator that allows you to accurately represent the characteristics of the underlying process to the finest level of detail. This is crucial in making well-informeddecisions to manage change.

By combining the operational and design features of a process, a BATCHES simulation model allows you to evaluate alternative system configurations and operating procedures, to size process equipment, and to evaluate scheduling strategies. No matter what your need -- retrofitting, debottlenecking, designing a new process -- BATCHES has the versatility to look at the whole process from beginning to end to help you meet your objectives. It provides the information you need to cope with the present and anticipate the future by means of:

Hybrid simulation methodology (Discrete and Dynamic Simulator)

Library of process dynamics models

Logic to implement operating decisions

Graphical user interface for model building and analysis

The use of BATCHES reduces your risks as you strive to improve the process, increase the range and mix of products, and lower the operating costs and capital expenses.
