Material and production data (formula)

Material and production data (formula) for recipe creation is comprised of:
● Process inputs
● Process outputs
● Process parameters
Process inputs
Process inputs are the input materials (resources) required to make the product. Each input
material has the following characteristics:
● Name of parameter
● Name of the input material
● Low limit of the quantity
● Setpoint of the quantity
● High limit of the quantity
● Physical unit
● Name of the scaling algorithm
Process outputs
The process outputs are the output materials (main, interim, by and waste products) resulting
from the manufacture of a product. Each output material has the following properties:
● Name of parameter
● Name of the product
● Name of the output material
● Low limit of the quantity
● Setpoint of the quantity
● High limit of the quantity
● Physical unit
● Name of the scaling algorithm
Process parameters
Process parameters are physical parameters such as speed, pressure or temperature.
Process parameters can also be logic parameters and character chains:
For example, release number of loop of type integer or material information HCL of type string
or Boolean values e.g., releases.
