Challenge
Achieving and repeating Golden Batch outcomes is your goal. Many facilities operate with a Right-First-Time metric between 40-70%. Bad batches increase cycle times because they require rework or worst case, even scrapping.
Users tell us that up to 62% of work performed by staff is non-value add including unnecessary operator rounds that waste precious hours on the process. Also, manual measurements have inherent safety risks to employees.
Our Solution
Utilize Emerson solutions in the batching process application and you can consistently hit quality and production targets while having a safe and reliable operation.
• Mass Flow – Improve material feeds and verify density
• Mag, Vortex, DP Flow – Improve heating/cooling flow loop and vapor space control
• Level – Prevent overfills and verify material adds
• Temperature – Improve consistency and avoid excursions
• Pressure – Improve head pressure control to reduce safety risk
• Density, Viscosity & Analytical – Improve quality with continuous online measurements
Emerson has the portfolio breadth and industry experience to help you leverage automation technologies and services to achieve top operational performance.
