Formula-Based Production, Tracked Batch by Batch

Chemical manufacturing runs on formulas, batch sizes and ingredient ratios, not on a single finished-quantity figure. TCB Infotech tracks formulas and batches, manages QC hold and release, and connects that data to your existing ERP.

50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.

Where Batch Tracking Breaks Down

Every formula, batch and QC decision in one record

Most chemical plants already run disciplined formulas. What is usually missing is a system that ties the formula, the actual batch and its QC decision together, instead of keeping them in separate registers and lab sheets.

Formula and Batch Reality

Formulas, batch sizes and ingredient ratios tracked together

A quality manager needs to know which formula version and raw material lots went into a batch, and whether that batch is on hold or released, without cross-checking a formula sheet against a separate QC log.

  • Formula versions and ingredient ratios tracked per batch.
  • Raw material lots linked to the batches that used them.
  • QC hold and release recorded against each batch.

ERP, Software and AI Together

Batch and QC records connected to your existing ERP

Batch records and compliance documentation usually live apart from the ERP that handles purchase and sales. We connect the two, and build the formula tracking and QC workflow a generic ERP module was not built to handle.

  • Batch and QC data feeds your existing ERP.
  • Batch costing built from actual ingredient usage.
  • AI flags batches missing required documentation.

How It Works

From your current formula sheets to a running system

1
Map
We walk your formulation and QC process and map how batches and hold-release decisions are tracked today.
2
Scope
We agree which pieces need ERP integration, custom tracking or AI alerts, and a fixed timeline.
3
Build
Formula, batch and QC hold-release tracking are built and tested against your production data.
4
Launch
The system goes live on the floor and is watched closely through the first production batches.
5
Support
The same team stays available as your formulas or compliance requirements change.
What We Handle

Built around how a chemical plant actually runs

🧪

Formula & Recipe Management

Formula versions and ingredient ratios tracked and locked before a batch starts.

⚖️

Batch Sizing & Ingredient Tracking

Actual ingredient usage tracked against the formula for every batch size.

✅

QC Hold & Release Workflow

Every batch held or released against a recorded QC decision, not a verbal one.

📦

Raw Material & Input Traceability

Raw material lots linked to the batches they went into, and back again.

📄

Safety & Compliance Documentation

Safety and compliance records generated as part of daily batch work, not after.

💰

Batch Costing

Batch costs built from actual ingredient and material consumption figures.

Why Us

Why chemical manufacturers work with TCB Infotech

1
We build around your formulas, not a template
Your formula versions, batch sizes and QC process shape the system, instead of a generic manufacturing module you have to adapt to.
2
ERP, software and AI from one team
ERP integration, batch tracking and QC workflow are scoped and delivered together.
3
Direct access, no relay
You work with the engineers building your system directly, on your own formula and batch data.
4
Support after go-live
The team that builds the system stays available for support and changes as your formulas evolve.
5
One contract for combined engagements
A project touching ERP integration, custom software and AI at once is scoped as a single engagement.
6
Proven delivery
50+ ERP and software projects, with zero failed projects since 2021.
FAQ

Chemicals, Answered

What does TCB Infotech actually build for chemical manufacturers?
We build the tracking layer for formula-based batch production: formula and recipe management, batch sizing and ingredient tracking, QC hold and release workflows, raw material and input traceability, safety and compliance documentation and batch costing, connected to your existing ERP.
Does this replace our existing ERP?
No. We connect to the ERP and accounting system you already run. The formula and batch tracking we build feeds that system rather than replacing it.
Can the system trace a batch back to its raw material lots for a regulatory audit?
Yes. Each batch record carries the raw material lots and ingredient ratios used, along with QC hold and release status, so a batch can be traced back to its inputs when a regulator or customer asks.
How long does a typical engagement take?
Most chemical engagements move from process mapping to a working pilot within a few months. Scope and timeline are confirmed after we walk your formulation and QC process with you.
What kind of support do we get after go-live?
The same team that built the system stays available for support, fixes and changes as your formulas, batch sizes or compliance requirements change.
Can ERP integration, custom software and AI be combined into one engagement?
Yes. Most engagements combine ERP integration, the formula and batch tracking a generic module does not cover, and AI where it removes manual QC and compliance record-keeping, scoped as one project.

How We Track Formula-Based Batches

From a formula sheet to a released batch. Here is what we build for a chemical plant, and how it connects to your existing ERP.

Core Process

Mapping, scoping and building around your formulas

Formula Setup

Formulas and recipes recorded before a batch is run

We start by recording every active formula, its ingredient ratios and approved batch sizes, so each production run is checked against a locked recipe instead of a hand-written sheet.

  • Formula versions and ingredient ratios recorded.
  • Approved batch sizes locked per formula.
  • Existing tracking gaps identified before scoping.

QC Hold and Release

Every batch held or released against a recorded decision

A batch cannot move to dispatch without a recorded QC decision, so hold and release status is visible to production, quality and dispatch at the same time instead of a phone call away.

  • QC hold and release recorded per batch.
  • Status visible across production and dispatch.
  • No batch dispatched without a recorded release.

Traceability and Costing

Raw material lots linked to every batch, and back again

Raw material lot numbers are recorded against each batch as it is produced, so a batch can be traced back to its inputs, and batch costing is built from that same recorded consumption.

  • Raw material lots linked to the batches that used them.
  • Safety and compliance documentation built into the record.
  • Batch costing built from actual ingredient consumption.
