With Eckelmann FactoryWare® Batch and its predecessor systems, Eckelmann has a software solution for fast-paced dosing and mixing processes in complex plant configurations in the building materials, construction chemicals, and ceramics industries.
From the ERP system to facility control, FactoryWare Batch automates seamless weighing, dosing, and mixing. Additionally, the software captures quality data from the laboratory, oversees the overall control of the batch-organized manufacturing process including pallet labeling, and connects to the high-bay warehouse.
Even systems beyond mixing and dosing technology can be realized with the framework.
For gypsum board production, an exclusive control system was created for a customer. It links production with the ERP and warehouse management system. Here, Eckelmann engineers defined all interfaces for production control. The database was designed to be open: the customer has full access, can analyze their data, and derive optimizations if necessary.
