Betriebsleitsysteme zur Rezepturverwaltung und Produktionsdatenverarbeitung

Abstract

Plant control systems for administration of formulations and processing of production data. Hitherto, support from electronic data processing in a company was generally on the managerial level and benefitted the commercial/administrative tasks occurring there. On the other hand, automation of production has been accelerated by the increasing use of digital systems such as stored program systems, process controllers, electronic data acquisition devices, and laboratory automation and information management systems. However, there was a gap between the two which is now beginning to close since the introduction of plant control systems. The tasks of these systems lie in process‐proximate balance, quality assurance, production overviews, formulation procedures, and optimum plant control. The benefit of such plant management systems lies in the accessibility of up‐to‐date information to all qualified persons involved in plant management.
