Three Integration Approaches

Overlay Mode

Run BatchLogic alongside your existing controller. Maximum safety—original system continues operating while BatchLogic provides enhanced control and monitoring.

Best For:

  • Plants with critical uptime requirements
  • Gradual system migration
  • Minimal downtime installation

Timeline: 1-2 days

Zero production downtime possible

Full Control

BatchLogic becomes your primary control system. We help coordinate with equipment vendors if you need new sensors or controllers—you choose the hardware, we provide the software intelligence.

Best For:

  • Plants upgrading aging equipment
  • Maximum feature access
  • Complete system modernization

Timeline: 3-5 days

Planned production downtime required

Hybrid Mode

Mix old and new capabilities. Keep existing equipment for some functions while BatchLogic controls critical processes like weighing, moisture, and temperature.

Best For:

  • Mixed-age equipment plants
  • Phased upgrades with budget constraints
  • Targeted accuracy improvements

Timeline: 2-3 days

Minimal downtime and cost-effective

Integration Process

1

Assessment & Planning

Our engineers evaluate your current equipment, identify integration points, and develop a customized implementation plan.

Duration: 1-2 weeks | Effort: Planning and documentation

2

Configuration & Testing

Set up protocol drivers, configure I/O mappings, and perform comprehensive testing in a controlled environment before deployment.

Duration: 1-2 weeks | Effort: Off-site configuration and validation

3

Installation & Integration

Our field team installs hardware, connects communication cables, and integrates BatchLogic with your existing control systems with minimal production impact.

Duration: 1-5 days | Effort: On-site installation and commissioning

4

Validation & Training

Run test batches, validate accuracy, and conduct comprehensive training for all plant staff across all shifts and departments.

Duration: 3-5 days | Effort: On-site validation and operator training

5

Go-Live & Support

Transition to full production with on-site support team present. Dedicated 24/7 support for first 30 days, then ongoing support as needed.

Duration: 1-2 weeks | Effort: Continuous monitoring and optimization

Integration FAQ

Will BatchLogic work with my current equipment?

Yes. BatchLogic integrates with virtually all modern batch plant equipment including Command Alkon, ConTech, Astec, Liebherr, Hess, Elkon, Olin, and many others. Even legacy equipment can be integrated through serial or PLC connections. Contact us with your equipment specifications for confirmation.

What if I don't have a Modbus or Ethernet/IP controller?

No problem. We can integrate via serial connections (RS-232/485), custom PLC drivers, or overlay mode where BatchLogic runs parallel to your existing system. Our engineers will work with you to find the best integration approach.

How long does integration typically take?

Timeline varies by integration mode: Overlay mode (1-2 days), Hybrid mode (2-3 days), Full Replacement (3-5 days). Add 1-2 weeks for initial assessment and configuration. Rush integrations available with additional fees.

Can I run BatchLogic without replacing my existing controller?

Yes. Overlay mode allows BatchLogic to run alongside your existing controller. Your original system continues operating while BatchLogic provides enhanced monitoring and control. You can migrate to full control gradually.

Will implementation require production downtime?

Depends on your integration approach. Overlay mode can be zero-downtime. Full replacement typically requires 2-4 hours of planned downtime. We work with you to schedule during maintenance windows to minimize impact.

What technical support is provided during integration?

Full support throughout integration: On-site engineers for installation and commissioning, 24/7 technical support during first 30 days, remote support anytime, and dedicated support team for the first year. We're committed to your success.
