Based on the quantity structure, you can calculate the number of BATCH servers and the
number of automation systems for the planned process cell and select suitable dimensions for
them. The load can also be analyzed in advance. This is intended to reduce the automation
costs and to improve the quality, yield, safety, process cell utilization and productivity.
Quantity structure information can, however, only provide a rough guide for planning the
components of a process cell. For example, batches with a short duration (minutes up to a few
hours) with large numbers of setpoints put significantly more load on a SIMATIC BATCH server
(PC-based operation) or an automation system (AS-based operation) than batches with few
setpoints and a duration of several days.
