Our customer had been looking to benchmark its current batches against a ‘gold standard’ in terms of duration time for each step in their manufacturing process. They wanted to go beyond a post-batch analysis in order to compare current batches with their ideal batch—at any point in the process. To accomplish this, we needed to first store the golden batch data and then develop a way that allowed them to perform ad hoc reporting—on demand and on the fly. In addition, this customer also needed to view the data not only as a report, but also in real-time on their DeltaV™ control system.
