Recipe Management

Recipe Management by Wonderware is designed to enhance operational efficiency and ensure product quality by managing diverse product variations. It simplifies the optimisation, deployment, adaptation, and execution of both formula and recipe management through an off-the-shelf software solution. Its system-neutral design allows for enterprise-wide standardisation, making it adaptable across various production setups.

This software automates equipment setup and execution processes, which reduces the effort involved in product formulation and increases process agility. With formula management, you can efficiently control equipment setup by transferring consistent parameter values to control systems, independent of specific shop floor equipment. This central management of product definitions is crucial for maintaining consistent quality across multiple production locations. Formula downloads can be managed easily via a web interface, where operators select from a list of approved formulas, review, adjust, and implement them as required.

Recipe management introduces procedural definitions to direct equipment execution order, pairing formulas with capability parameters for comprehensive control. Operators can assign and execute recipes on designated equipment, adjusting parameters as needed within predefined limits.

The system maintains a thorough electronic history of changes and executions, supporting compliance with standards like FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and cGMP guidelines through electronic signatures and version-controlled records for formula downloads and recipe executions.

Integration possibilities are vast, as the software can interface with any control system via the OPC UA Data Access specification. Its user interface is accessible through various web-enabled devices, ensuring operators can manage execution efficiently, compliant with ISA-88 standards.

• Increased efficiency and flexibility via reduced changeover times.
• Consistent quality supported by parameter automation and repeatability.
• Lower compliance costs through electronic records and signature options.
