Maximize Operating Flexibility
Streamline Compliance
Choose Batch Architect Pro for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 capabilities, including electronic signatures and record keeping, to keep your processes and equipment current with industry regulations.
Improve Traceability
Batch Architect Pro stores logged batch data in a Microsoft SQL server database. Users can easily create a wide range of reports—even from a computer outside the process room to simplify access.
Drive Product Uniformity
Recipe-driven Batch Architect and Batch Architect Pro enable users to save custom processes. The status screen displays critical process variables and users retain control over all functions, so batches can be reproduced with minimal user intervention and maximum accuracy.
Easy-to-Operate Manual Controls
A simple manual control displays key machine status information and provides important function controls that are configured to match each individual piece of equipment.
Clear Machine Status
Available with Batch Architect Pro, the status screen graphically illustrates the current status of critical machine functions and provides easy access to manual controls.
Password Security
Limit access to Batch Architect Pro controls and other system programs to authorized personnel. Users are identified through a unique user name and password for logon and signatures, and password expiration can be configured as needed.
Intuitive Recipe Editor
The recipe editor allows users to create and edit recipes, apply signatures, and activate recipes for download using a smart interface. An option in the basic software and standard in Batch Architect Pro, process-defining phases, such as "cool" or "dry," are configurable to your product requirements, and unique timeline control adds flexibility. In addition, SOPs can be included in recipes and acknowledged electronically.
Flexible Batch Data Browser
Users can view, export, and print batch data and product recipes readily using Batch Architect Pro. You can also achieve data according to your own preferences—on a schedule or after every run. And reports can be customized, saved, and integrated with message reports to provide a complete view of any batch.
Virtualization and Reduced Downtime
Batch Architect Pro operates in a virtualized environment, which allows multiple virtual computers to run on a single host. This not only saves money and simplifies, but it supports disaster recovery planning. Software engineers can restore a copy of the virtual machine to an operational computer and greatly reduce downtime. Virtualization also makes it easier to meet federal data retention requirements, as virtual systems can be easily copied from one computer to another.
