By thoroughly understanding your process and business objectives, we can tailor a customized batch solution to meet your specific needs — the right fit with the right purpose.

Each client has very diverse batch control needs and understanding their process thoroughly is a critical step in providing the right batch solution. Whether it’s a simple batch process with a few steps and simple recipes and procedures or an intricate process with many steps and numerous complex and variable operations based on nuances and changes, LSI can help. With BATCH≡RIGHT, nothing is left to chance as we work together to identify and understand your needs.

Producing the desired product throughput, consistency, quality, and traceability requires robust batch procedures and recipe management. That starts with access to the right information that is defined in the process model. As a platform-independent systems integrator, LSI can help you navigate the options available to ensure the technology currently in use (or selected) has the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the process.

S88, also known as the ANSI/ISA-88 standard, is considered a guideline. While it provides a structured framework and concepts for batch process control, it’s not a strict compliance standard like some other industrial regulations. Instead, it offers recommendations and guidelines for designing and implementing batch control systems in a way that promotes modularity, flexibility, and efficiency. You can count on LSI to have the knowledge and expertise to help you make the best use of the S88 guidelines in your process.

For almost 40 years, LSI has helped clients design and optimize their batch-processing control systems. BATCH≡RIGHT starts with a conversation. When you are ready to talk about your batch process needs give us a call or contact us.
