A Platform for Future Development and Growth
Batch Expert includes the Gensym® G2 real-time platform. The G2 platform is extremely flexible
and provides the customer the ability to grow and expand as required. The system is
self-contained and can grow with minimal concerns regarding future changes to computer
operating systems. The self-contained nature also significantly reduces maintenance and support
costs. These benefits provide an affordable, long-term solution that can grow and expand with
customer needs without a significant cost.
Self Contained Platform
Batch Expert is a self-contained, real-time platform. The self-contained nature provides for a
robust environment that is insensitive to changes in the underlying computer operating system.
This has a significant economic advantage as computer operating systems are continually
changing. Minimal effort is required to update and maintain the application with such changes.
Customers can expect Batch Expert to be a robust platform for several years without concerns of
changing computer hardware or operating systems.
Multi-Interface System
Batch Expert can embody multiple, data sources. This includes data sources to equipment,
instruments, databases and manual data entry. Since Batch Expert is a real-time platform it is
specifically designed to easily integrate new sources as they become available. If an existing
software bridge is unavailable a new bridge can be developed.
Simple HMI and Graphical User Interfaces
Batch Expert programming and development environment is graphical in nature. This provides an
intuitive and rapid means of development, testing and deployment. The graphical user interfaces
(GUI) is often the most challenging element to design and deploy. Batch Expert is uniquely
designed to quickly allows developers to test and deploy new interfaces. Since Batch Expert is
self-contained the user-interfaces are robust to changing computer operating systems.
Rule-Based Engine
Batch Expert is based upon Gensym's G2 real-time, expert-system. G2 is the industrial leader for
rule-based and event-driven real-time, automation software. This provides developers a platform
for mission-critical application that can include heuristic based reasoning. This is a distinct
advantage because most often engineers and scientists utilize their experience in the forms of
rules-of-thumb to operate and optimize processes.
