Systems and apparatus for distribution of batch and continuous process control data to remote devices

A method of providing batch process data from a process control system of a process plant to a remote computing device, the method comprising:

• receiving at a first computing device a request to create a list of batch data to be provided to the remote computing device;
• presenting to a user a selection interface to facilitate selection of batch data to be provided to the remote computing device;
• receiving at the first computing device, via the selection interface, a selection of a batch executive from which to provide the batch process data, the batch executive executing on a controller in the process plant;
• receiving at the first computing device, via the selection interface, one or more filter criteria;
• applying in the first computing device the filter criteria to data available from the batch executive to determine a set of data to be included on the list of batch data to be provided to the remote computing device;
• and
• transmitting to a mobile server an indication of the set of data associated with the list of batch data to be provided to the remote computing device.
