The system strategy must also have an implementation plan. The chapter explains what to look for in batch software packages. Every batch plant has certain basic capabilities that are common to all batch plants. For selecting the most appropriate automation solution, it is critical to identify and understand the dominant traits of the batch process. These include the process equipment, equipment control systems, and operators who interact with the process, product recipes, a production schedule, and a historical data record. The chapter also describes the key features of some software packages that are available in the market.
