Use Recipe Manager

Manufacturing industries build products according to repeatable procedures that use standardized quantities of raw materials. In essence, products are manufactured according to recipes. A recipe describes the raw materials, their quantities, and how they are combined to produce a finished product. In the most intuitive case, a bakery may follow a basic recipe that lists all ingredients and procedural steps to make cookies.

Recipe Manager is a supplementary component for the InTouch HMI that you can use to simplify the process of creating manufacturing recipes. The following figure summarizes how Recipe Manager obtains information from recipe templates to manage a process that creates a product.
