Cybertrol’s BatchWorks strengthens our batch control capabilities by building on extensive experience from numerous successful batch control projects across diverse industries. Our engineers, experts in the ISA-88 (S88) standard, leverage their knowledge to design optimal batch control systems tailored to your specific operational needs. With BatchWorks, we ensure precise recipe execution and seamless production scheduling, while offering flexibility in recipe editing, formulations, and system validation.
Batching system extensibility including scheduling, recipe and formulation management, inventory consumption, quality control, and production traceability
Cybertrol Engineering’s BatchWorks is web-based, purpose-built integration software that seamlessly transacts material consumption and production information with your MES or ERP system, enabling real-time visibility to production cost, inventory availability, batch cycle time, and batch quality.
The BatchWorks programming strategy utilizes the ISA-88 batch control standard for design with phase-based recipes to support the operations of the batch process. From this environment, the supervisor/operator can create, copy, and modify recipes, run and phase automatic recipe execution, and manually adjust operations. Recipes can include operator prompts for assuring process connections are made, such as, adding hand-applied ingredients, acknowledging process steps (quality checks), etc.

BatchWorks supports controlled ingredient additions with operator-guided weighing, barcode verification, and material validation to improve batch accuracy and traceability. Mobile workflows guide operators through weighing and hand-add steps while capturing real-time material consumption and lot data for reporting and inventory visibility.
Capabilities include:
Operator-guided weighing and hand-add workflows
Barcode-based ingredient and lot verification
Validation and batch interlocks to prevent errors
Mobile operator access at the point of use
Real-time material transactions and traceability
BatchWorks is purpose-built integration software, developed by Cybertrol, that enhances Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk® Batch by integrating material consumption and production data with ERP systems. It supports FactoryTalk Batch, PlantPAx® Logix Batch Sequence Manager (LBSM), and other ISA-88 solutions.
Cybertrol Engineering is advancing manufacturing system architectures through the integration of its proprietary platforms—BatchWorks® and PalletWorks®—with Rockwell Automation’s Plex MES. This unified framework establishes a closed-loop manufacturing environment that synchronizes execution, data flow, and operational feedback across the enterprise.
The integrated solution spans production scheduling, batch execution and recipe management, label verification, and end-to-end traceability. By tightly coupling control-layer systems with MES and enterprise platforms, it enables deterministic process control, real-time data validation, and comprehensive production visibility across all operational layers.
