Batch preparation in food, pharma, aromatics, plastics and many other industries rely on manual addition of a multitude of components based on weight. To ensure product quality and consistency, aaddition of right material in the right quantity is very important to ensure product quality and consistency. Batch supervisory systems, from microedge. Are intelligent terminals which guide and supervise an operator in carrying out accurate hatching. Some of the major advantageous features of the batch supervisory system are: traceability for every batch as exact quantity of each raw material is re- corded automatically ensuring that every raw material is added and added only once: easy tracking of multiple batches; detailed hatch report after completion of each batch: parallel hatching using multiple weighscales for major and minor components; upward connectivity to plant information networks.Following are some of the hardware features of the supervisory system which include:they complement electronic weighscales normally used for weighing individual components. The item name and quantity to be added are displayed to the operator and the actual quantity added is checked to be within tolerance and recorded before proceeding to the next item of the batch. A number of intelligent terminals connected to weigh scales of varying capacities can he networked to allow many operators carry out multiple batches simultaneously. Some of the major advantages in using the batch supervisory system are: traceability for every batch as exact quantity of each raw material is re- corded automatically ensuring that every raw material is added and added only once: easy tracking of multiple batches; detailed hatch report after completion of each batch: parallel hatching using multiple weighscales for major and minor components; upward connectivity to plant information networks.
