Batchmaker Studio · Classic

The recipe workbench as a lean web interface: recipes, raw materials, glass chemistry, cost and batch tickets in one tool without live operations.

Positioning
The quick workbench. No shift operation, no silos – but recipe work that has to be done in minutes.

Situation

Situation

Not every recipe question needs the full operation. If you want to check an oxide calculation, print a batch ticket or compare a recipe version, you do not open a plant for it.

The cut is therefore: raw materials, oxides, redox, batch size, cost, versions – and nothing else. No shifts, no live bookings, no silos.

Decisions

Decisions

  1. 01

    Its own server and its own SQLite file. The workbench does not hang off the operations product and cannot overwrite anything there.

  2. 02

    The sign-in is part of the product, not an afterthought: visible fields, password toggle, an error message on the field and a note on the instance you are working on.

  3. 03

    Every delivery has its own domain and its own version domain with a frozen state.

  4. 04

    No unverifiable efficiency claims. The product is the workbench, not a substitute for operations.

What you can inspect

The flow as a model.

  1. 01

    Recipes

    Version, compare, import and export, bound to raw materials and cost.

  2. 02

    Materials

    Master data from which oxide and batch size are later calculated.

  3. 03

    Chemistry

    Oxides, redox and physics in traceable calculations.

  4. 04

    Tickets

    Draft, scale, preview, print-ready output.

What remains

What remains

A tool does not have to model the neighbouring processes to be reliable. It only has to delimit cleanly what it cannot do.
