An InBatch success story British Bakels - Bicester
British Bakels
British Bakels, Bicester, is a leading supplier of baking ingredients. They operate from modern production facilities and offer high service levels to commercial bakeries and other food manufacturers.
Bakels required a system that would simplify the production of hundreds of products whilst providing consistent quality; they chose Wonderware’s InBatch® system which was deployed by Stratos Control Systems Ltd.
Situation, and finding a solution
► Bakels has invested in equipment, tools and training that allow continuous business growth to be achieved.
► To provide smooth and effective operation it was foreseen that the company would need a solution that could flexibly handle the full permutation of recipes and mixes that they needed to process.
► At first consideration was given to a wholly PLC based system but it soon became clear that this was inappropriate to the scale of the problem.
► Bespoke computer solutions were also dismissed as being an unacceptable business risk.
► Stratos proposed a far more powerful and standard solution centred upon Wonderware’s InBatch system, following evaluation this was adopted.
Located on a 5.5 acre site in Bicester, Bakels has invested over £15m in powder blending and wet production, and in warehousing. Production volumes exceed 20,000 tonnes.
InBatch in use
► The use of Wonderware’s InBatch is part of a comprehensive scheme that automates the entire business process.
► The company’s manufacturing plan is held with a Microsoft® Dynamics Axapta MRP system which produces a daily schedule, the end result of which is pallets loaded with the required dry basic ingredients for the day’s production, wet ingredients being pumped automatically.
► The InBatch system takes this schedule information and produces step by step production instructions for operators and automation controllers.
► The process involves weighing, mixing, dosing, blending using a carefully controlled sequence of vessels for melting, dissolving, mixing and cooking.
► The many combinations of ingredients to make Bakels’ products are in this way easily handled without error and with the ability to produce high daily volumes from many differing orders.
► Production at Bakels is arranged in lines, each having flexible operation and capacity to meet differing production demands.
► CIP is built in to the system and is also under full automatic control. .

Doing the work...
► The development of the system was done jointly by Bakels’ and Stratos’ engineers, with assistance in the Batch Management consultancy by Wonderware batch specialist Dr Geoff Brown.
► The architecture of the system involves dual server redundancy, Ethernet and wash-down touch screens on the plant itself.
► The system allows both manual and automatic operation and quickly gained operator acceptance following in-house training.
Away from all this activity is Bakels’ product development laboratories, here new recipes are developed both speculatively and also at the request of bakers. Once developed, the production method has to be scaled up to deliver the same characteristics in volume manufacture. Products are formulated to suit each market sector and British Bakels has teams that focus on serving the particular needs of each sector. Bakels’ operation is BRC level “A” accredited (which was the subject of a recent audit by EFSIS that they passed with “flying colours”) and the company has further accreditation as a Halal Food Authority approved supplier and by The Soil Association, as producer of organic products.
Quotable...
Nick Luxemburg, Bakels’ Engineering Manager said, “The system that has been installed provides us with major competitive advantage and the ability to deliver right on schedule”...
“What we have achieved is Consistent Quality”

The company has defined expansion plans to establish further lines within the same production area to support planned business growth, the efficiency and flexibility of the batching system contributing to the basis for the business model for this investment.
