Chordata Batch

A smarter, faster, and
more flexible way to
control batch processes
for modern manufacturers.

Chordata Batch is purpose-built for manufacturers in highly regulated industries — like pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and chemicals — who need precise control, complete traceability, and compliance without compromise. Chordata Batch offers amazing flexibility – whether you’re completely rebuilding a legacy system or simply modernizing it by replacing only the batch component.

  • Greater efficiency and throughput  through smarter scheduling, monitoring, and equipment utilization.
  • Faster, smarter decisions  powered by real-time data, reports, and trend insights.
  • Built-in compliance and security  that protect operations and simplify audits.
Capabilities of Chordata Batch

Recipe
Management

Standardize production and scale with ease using reusable, flexible recipes. Built-in controls help ensure consistency, reduce errors, and speed up new product launches.

  • Master Recipe Definition

    Create and store reusable recipes with phases, parameters, equipment requirements, and instructions.

  • Version Control

    Manage recipe changes with audit trails and approval workflows.

  • Parameterization

    Enable flexible adjustment of ingredients, quantities, and process settings.

Batch Execution
and Control

Run every batch with confidence and precision. Automated sequencing and real-time visibility keep processes on track, minimize downtime, and prevent costly mistakes.

  • Phase and Step Control

    Orchestrate automatic or manual steps (e.g., mixing, heating, cooling).

  • Sequencing and Coordination

    Enforce execution order and interlocks between units and equipment.

  • Real-Time Monitoring

    Track batch progress, alarms, and deviations in real time.

Equipment Management

Keep assets ready and reliable with smarter scheduling and cleaning oversight. Equipment modeling and resource allocation maximize utilization while supporting compliance.

  • Equipment Modeling (ISA-88)

    Define units, modules, and control modules hierarchically.

  • Resource Allocation

    Assign and schedule equipment based on availability and recipe needs.

  • Clean-In-Place (CIP)/Sanitization Tracking

    Monitor and manage cleaning cycles.

Operator Interface & HMI Integration

Empower operators with clear instructions, alerts, and guided workflows. Intuitive tools reduce training time, cut down on errors, and boost productivity.

  • Guided Operations

    Deliver instructions, confirmations, and alerts to operators.

  • Manual Interventions

    Allow safe, traceable manual overrides or actions.

  • Alarm Handling

    Display and prioritize process alarms.

Data Collection & Historian Integration

Capture and organize critical batch data automatically. Time-synced, digital records strengthen traceability, simplify audits, and improve compliance

  • Batch Records

    Automatically capture all data during a batch run (setpoints, actual values, events).

  • Time Synchronization

    Correlate data to batch time frames.

  • Electronic Batch Records (EBR)

    Enable digital traceability for audits and compliance

Reporting & Analytics

Turn production data into actionable insights. Reports and trend analysis highlight performance opportunities, support continuous improvement, and drive smarter decisions.

  • Batch Reports

    Summarize batch execution results, quality metrics, and production KPIs.

  • Deviation Reports

    Highlight discrepancies or process exceptions.

  • Trend Analysis

    Compare batch-to-batch performance for continuous improvement.

Integration with Other Systems

Eliminate silos by connecting seamlessly with enterprise, lab, and control systems. Integrated data flow boosts efficiency and creates a single source of information for operations.

  • MES/ERP Connectivity

    Integrate with planning systems for recipe download and production orders.

  • LIMS/QMS

    Exchange quality data and lab results.

  • PLC/DCS Integration

    Interface with control hardware for direct process control.

Compliance and Security

Protect your operations while meeting industry requirements. Audit-ready records, role-based access, and regulatory support safeguard data integrity and compliance.

  • Audit Trails

    Log all changes and operator actions.

  • User Management

    Role-based access control.

  • Regulatory Compliance

    Support for GMP, 21 CFR Part 11, ISO standards, etc.

UNS (Universal Namespace) Friendly

Extend the value of your data across the enterprise. Chordata structures and contextualizes information so it’s standardized, shareable, and ready for any system.

  • ISA-95 Alignment

    Models assets and processes for consistent data organization.

  • UNS Standards

    Publishes contextualized information with standardized naming.

  • Publish Once, Consume Many

    Allows multiple systems to access the same trusted data.
