Engineering step 01
Process model
Begin with the process intent and the behaviour that the procedure needs to achieve.
Workflow
From engineering model to validated recipe
Develop procedures, simulate behaviour and prepare recipes for execution using connected engineering knowledge.
Definition
Recipe engineering is the structured definition of procedures, operations and phases that describe how a batch or process should be executed. Entellia links procedural knowledge to a structured representation of plant capabilities.

How this workflow develops
Follow the engineering information from its starting point to a reusable result. Each step keeps the relevant context connected for the next one.
Engineering step 02
ISA-88 equipment model
Structure the physical equipment and its capabilities using the ISA-88 hierarchy.Engineering step 03
Services and operations
Connect the available equipment capabilities with services, operations and procedural requirements.Engineering step 04
Recipe or procedure
Define the sequence of operations and phases in the same connected engineering context.Engineering step 05
Simulation
Evaluate procedures, sequences and expected process behaviour before the full plant is available.Engineering step 06
Validation
Use simulation results to reveal inconsistencies and refine the sequence earlier in the lifecycle.Engineering step 07
Control environment
Prepare the validated procedure and its equipment context for the supported control environment.
Connect equipment and procedure
Recipe engineering combines process intent with the capabilities of the automation system. Equipment structures, services and procedures remain part of one connected context.
Validate before commissioning
Simulation can evaluate behaviour and sequences before the plant or automation system is fully available. This can reveal inconsistencies earlier in the lifecycle.
Typical outputs
- Structured procedures
- Equipment-linked operations
- Simulation-ready models
- Validated sequences
- Recipe engineering foundation
Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Short, factual answers to the questions engineering teams ask first.
What is recipe engineering?
Recipe engineering defines procedures, operations and phases for executing a batch or process. ISA-88 separates procedural recipes from equipment capabilities.
Why simulate recipes before commissioning?
Simulation lets teams test procedures, sequences and expected process behaviour before the physical plant or complete automation system is available.
What is an FMU?
A Functional Mock-up Unit is a packaged simulation model based on the Functional Mock-up Interface standard. It can exchange and execute simulation models across compatible tools.
