RECIPE
Monitor machine settings and identify optimal configurations for consistent production runs
Witness how RECIPE enhances OEE and accuracy while improving process controls here.
Capture and return to the “Golden run” by using ConnectedAI to help with machine settings. Ensure product quality and reduce changeover times.
With RECIPE, you can experience:
- Determine true downtime causes in the event of a malfunction
- Set up alerts if machine parameters deviate from ideal values
- Generate reports for both machine and process data
- Turn real-time machine insights into optimal production measures
- Access historic data and review trends
RECIPE makes the tasks of operators, production managers, and process engineers easier by:
- Automating the recipe selection process according to pre-set parameters
- Correlating job settings and OEE, determining the best job run
- Centralizing and storing machine settings in a private cloud with backup and disaster recovery plans
- Providing timely alerts and logs in case there are excessive product variations

Machine recipes are highly sensitive and technical in nature. How does RECIPE ensure that the right personnel make the right changes at the right time?
RECIPE is a multi-layered application that allows different levels of access depending on the person using it. Operators usually are restricted to ‘Read-Only’ access for recipe loading, while Admin-level personnel can change recipe parameters altogether. RECIPE also comes armed with a highly customizable alert system, where timely alerts can be set up for a variety of concerns. Our app also keeps rigorous logs to track all kinds of changes, which works well with the alerting feature.
The Pitfalls of Non-Automated Recipe Management
Manufacturers and machine builders operate in highly competitive environments, which adds pressure to the factory floor. Operators are challenged every day to maximize OEE while using all available resources to maintain high-quality output. Without tools like RECIPE, industry players often deal with:
Misprocessing
Manual recipe management and settings affect product quality and consistency
Added Downtime
Incurs due to significant changeover timings for new jobs
Under utilization
Equipment is rarely utilized to its full potential, reducing OEE and ROI
LACK OF ACCURACY & CONSISTENCY
Best/optimized settings are left to chance as there is no record-keeping and subsequent analysis, creating larger margins for error
No Failsafe/Alerts
Failing to monitor process deviations in real-time can lead to added cost in the form of damage control
How secure is my RECIPE data? Will I lose my list of recipes and other information if the machine powers down suddenly, or any other malfunction occurs?
All machine settings, whether user-generated or otherwise are saved to a centralized private cloud that updates continuously. Power failures or other issues do not affect this storage, and your settings shall be at your fingertips for the next run.

Incorporating RECIPE on the Shop Floor
STEP 1. ANALYZE
RECIPE reads and sends machine data (such as process variables, job details, and job settings) to our data collection centers. These data sets are correlated with machine OEE and product quality measurements. Advanced algorithms find intricate relationships between the recorded data values and can identify the best settings for a given job.
STEP 2. SECURE + MANAGE
Optimized machine settings are saved to a secure, centralized private cloud. Backup systems and safeguards ensure that data is never lost or accessed by unauthorized individuals. Changes in settings are rigorously managed, with alarms providing real-time alerts for process/product variations.
STEP 3. IMPROVE
Your library of stored Best Runs can be accessed anytime to run specific jobs. Operators can recall jobs with a single input code. OEE and productivity values are constantly analyzed to determine the most effective recipes.
Our clients experience superior production and machine utilization because of RECIPE while experiencing a significant competitive advantage due to its analytical, storage, recall, and security-oriented capabilities.
