The controlling software for a rubber batching system is typically a Sterling Systems customized software system running on either a PC or a HMI. In the HMI case it is usually a Sterling Systems custom Rockwell Software FactoryTalk View ME running on PanelView Plus Touchscreen HMIs located in the operator control panels where formulas and ingredients are created and scheduled to batch.
