The manufacturing line required a repeatable control model capable of producing multiple products with clear recipe governance and batch records. The solution applied ISA-88 concepts to equipment modules, phases, procedures, and recipes, then connected production data to reporting workflows for faster review and traceability.
Key highlights
ISA-88 structure: Separated equipment capability from recipe procedures to improve reuse, testing, and long-term maintainability.
Recipe management: Created controlled recipe parameters and execution sequences for repeatable multi-product manufacturing.
Batch traceability: Captured production events, process values, and operator actions needed for review and investigation.
Production reporting: Prepared Power BI reporting views that turn batch records into accessible operational and performance insights.
Project Impact
The structured batch design improved recipe consistency, strengthened production traceability, and created a reusable control foundation for adding products and equipment without rebuilding the application logic.
