Batch Planning

■Overview ■Function

6The SIMATIC BATCH BatchCC enables the creation of individual production orders and batches. Far more planning functionality is offered by the additional SIMATIC BATCH batch planning op- tion package. BatchCC can then be used to plan batches in ad- vance for a large number of production orders.

The range of functions includes not only the planning but also the modification, canceling, deleting and releasing of batches. Dividing and saving batches for a production can be performed manually or, after specifying the number of batches and the pro- duction quantity, automatically. The following batch parameters can be selected and changed before the release order is given:

•Quantity to be prepared

•Starting mode (immediately, by operator input or time-con- trolled)

•Plant unit assignment

•Formula (parameter set)

•Run sequence (interlinking with the previous or next batch)

•Indication of batch runtime

Batch planning and control are conveniently supported and sim- plified by special displays such as order category list, produc- tion order list, batch planning list, batch status list and batch re- sults list.

All batches and their plant unit assignments can be clearly pre- sented by a combination of Gantt diagram and table. Conflicts of time or due to multiple assignment of plant units are marked by symbols. Time conflicts are easily eliminated by moving the affected batches in the Gantt diagram.
