Real-time batch P&L
Real-time batch P&L. Know what every batch made — before it closes.
Month-end P&L tells you what happened weeks ago. PlantIQ tells you the profitability of a batch while it is still running — yield, utility cost, raw-material lot quality, and output purity mapped into one number your operations head and promoter can act on.
The problem with month-end costing
In most mid-sized chemical and pharma plants, nobody knows which batch, which product, or which shift actually made money until the books close. By then the loss is history and the cause is buried under thirty other batches. Utility overrun gets absorbed as overhead. A bad raw-material lot is written off as normal variance. The plant runs profitably on paper and bleeds margin in reality.
How PlantIQ builds live batch P&L
PlantIQ pulls the four levers that decide batch economics — actual yield versus theoretical, utility consumed (steam, power, water), the quality of the specific RM lot charged, and final output purity — and resolves them into a running profit-and-loss figure per batch. The number updates as the batch progresses, so a deviation shows up as rupees lost while there is still time to act, not as a variance line in next month's review.
Cost per kg, per product, made visible
Because utilities are attributed to each batch rather than smeared across the month, PlantIQ exposes the true cost-per-kg of every product you make. Two batches of the same API can differ by 15% on unit cost for reasons that were previously invisible — a colder ambient, a slower reactor, a weaker lot. Once you can see it, you can manage it.
Frequently asked
What is batch profitability software?
It is software that calculates the profit or loss of an individual production batch in real time, combining yield, raw-material cost, utility consumption and output value — instead of waiting for month-end accounting. PlantIQ is built for mid-sized pharma and chemical plants running on Excel, paper and ERP.
Can it show cost per kg for each product?
Yes. PlantIQ attributes steam, power and water to each individual batch, so you see the true cost-per-kg of every product and can compare batch to batch.
Do I need a DCS or IT team to use it?
No. PlantIQ works with manual shift entry as well as automated DCS/SCADA/ERP feeds, and goes live in a 30-day pilot with no IT team required on your side.
