Batch Control System
A Batch Control System is used in industries to manage and control batch processes, where production occurs in distinct quantities or “batches” rather than continuously. These systems are widely employed in manufacturing processes such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals, and more, where precise control and monitoring of multiple parameters (e.g. temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc.) are critical for ensuring product quality and consistency. Key stages in a Batch Control System:
Define Parameters|Create Recipe|Monitor|Analyze|Document
In essence, batch control systems are integral to processes where production occurs in defined stages, and precision is crucial to ensure the consistency, quality, and safety of the final product.

Energy Monitoring System
Energy Monitoring System (EMS) in manufacturing plants is designed to track, manage, and optimize energy consumption in industrial operations. The system collects real-time data from various energy consuming equipment, such as machines, HVAC systems, lighting and motors, using sensors and meters. This data is then analyzed to identify energy inefficiencies, patterns of consumption and potential areas for improvement. Key components of an EMS include:
Monitor | Analyze | Document | React
Energy Monitoring System in manufacturing plants enables more efficient energy usage, cost savings and supports sustainability initiatives by providing actionable data and insights into energy consumption patterns.

Preventive Maintenance Scheduler
In the Manufacturing segment, Machine breakdowns can have adverse negative impact on productivity, leading to huge losses. Its cardinal that Industries are well prepared to stay up and running 24×7. Preventive Maintenance is the key to achieving this. It can be defined as a proactive maintenance routine, which is periodically carried out whilst the equipment/instrument is still running. This helps reduce the chances of Machine Failure. At Shel Automation we understand the importance of implementing Preventive Maintenance routine, thus we have made it an integral part of our systems. All our new systems include a feature called ‘Preventive Maintenance Scheduling’. This feature notifies the user periodically about Instruments/Equipment that are due for maintenance. This enforcement has received positive feedback from majority of our clients.

Optimizing Tablet Manufacturing Process
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are playing a significant role in shaping the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the area of automated manufacturing processes. One key application is the tablet production process.
In tablet manufacturing, PLCs are used to control and monitor various stages of the production process, including:
Blending of ingredients: Controlling the speed and duration of mixing, ensuring that the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients are blended uniformly.
Granulation: Maintaining the required moisture content, speed, and pressure during granulation, this is crucial for the quality of the tablets.
Tablet compression and coating: Regulating the compression force during tablet pressing and ensuring the tablet coating process is consistent.
Packaging: Automating the packaging line, including the filling, labeling, and sealing processes, to maintain efficiency and accuracy.
PLCs provide high precision, reliability, and compliance with regulatory standards (like GMP), ensuring that tablet production is consistent, safe and traceable. This automation minimizes human error, reduces waste and boosts production efficiency which is essential for meeting the pharmaceutical industry’s stringent quality standards.
PLCs have revolutionized pharmaceutical manufacturing by enabling more precise control over the entire tablet production process, leading to higher quality products and improved operational efficiency.
Taking advantage of two simulation environments
Magneti Marelli chose to develop its controls strategy with Simulink while using Simcenter Amesim to model the multidomain engine components. The two solvers are in communication, and inputs and outputs are exchanged between the two environments. The creation of a complete virtual system environment enables simulation of the system behavior, for both hydraulic components and software. Simcenter Amesim and Simulink work together to improve the reliability of the controls strategy.
“We were able to match the advantages of these two environments to build complete model-based software including a multidomain system built using Simcenter Amesim and controls model built using Simulink. It enables us to optimize the product and components design from the first stages,” says Paolino.
