The updated system leverages the recently introduced batch application toolkit to help reduce the risk, time and cost of implementing batch control systems. Containing documentation, application examples and sample code, the toolkit is said to give engineers a starting point to build and maintain a consistent batch control system. It also provides flexibility to customise system elements for increased functionality.
