Solutions for Small Batch Manufacturing
Batch producers are driven by cost and a commitment to quality, compliance, safety and dependability. Honeywell offers
scalable solutions to meet all of these objectives, delivering business improvement with an attractive ROI.
Batch producers have the same
goals at all of their sites, but the
challenges are different depending
on the size and complexity of each
location. Smaller sites need agility
without sacrificing reliability and
lifecycle costs – but on a scale that
can be maintained by fewer
resources. Honeywell’s solution for
small batch manufacturing sites is
based on Experion LS, which brings the value and reliability
enjoyed by Honeywell customers around the world to smaller
operations.

Experion LS is the perfect platform for small sites. The solution
can be as simple as one PC and one controller, while still
delivering historian, batch sequencing, advanced control, change
control for validated sites and reporting capabilities.
The solution can then be expanded to offer multiple operator
stations, redundancy, custom algorithms and batch management.
In addition, the system provides best-in-class peer-to-peer
support of third-party devices and drives like PLCs, weigh scales
and motor drives, integration of SCADA data and multiple I/O bus
options.
Because it is based on Honeywell’s Experion® platform,
Experion LS offers the advantages of a DCS, such as:
Station • Engineering advantages: drag-and-drop configuration, pre-
eServer
built algorithms, global database, integrated tag
ACE Node
configuration (define tag, alarms, history, management of
change in one place), preconfigured displays, common
engineering tools, open human interface, bulk build tools and
Ethernet or out of the box batch functionality
ControlNet
PLCs • Operational advantages: automation configuration changes
Weigh Scales
Motor Drives without stopping production, run-time view of control strategy
and sequence status, operator alarm management tools,
HART
ProfiBus integrated workflow for operators, truly redundant unit
DeviceNet
sequence execution, integrated view of all plant data, and
integrated operator instructions
These features contribute to faster engineering, increased uptime
and lower lifecycle costs, while fully empowering the limited
resources of a smaller operation.

Batch Automation Future Expansion

Honeywell’s S88-compliant solution for batch automation is
scalable and can be fully redundant. Whether building control
modules, phases or unit procedures,
customers will find built-in functionality
and drag-and-drop configuration that
make project engineering or updates
simple. Experion LS provides pre-built
logic for abnormal condition handlers,
mode propagation and more. Templates
are available to minimize engineering
time. Operator messaging capability is
pre-built and integrated into phase logic.
The batch capabilities in Experion LS
Choosing Experion LS today offers a path forward to the full suite
of Experion applications, services, and even Experion PKS.
Experion LS uses the same control configuration tools, graphics
building tools, batch automation tools and system management
tools as Experion PKS. Thus, all previous engineering work is
maintained when moving to Experion PKS and the operating
environment is the same. In addition, Experion LS can support
the same advanced applications that are available for Experion
PKS - reporting, management of formula sets, validation, and
other advanced capabilities are available when the time is right.
End-users decide what level of automation makes the most

are the same as those found in Experion PKS, so any standards, sense for their business today with the ability to expand as the
training, procedures, and methodologies can be used across the business grows
enterprise regardless of the platform chosen.

“Honeywell can provide a truly integrated, flexible and
highly reliable approach to batch process control for
small and simple to large and complex applications.”
