AdvThermaLogic is thermal process engineering software developed by Advanced Food-Tech Solutions for continuous-flow and in-container thermal processing, covering process calculations, scheduled-process development, validation support and documented engineering output. AdvThermaLogic supports continuous-flow thermal processing for aseptic, HTST, UHT and hot-fill applications. It calculates process lethality and F-value, required hold-tube exit temperature, residence time and hold-tube design, flow regime and Reynolds number for Newtonian and non-Newtonian products, thermal and volumetric expansion, and process deviation. Results are reported so that delivered lethality is never overstated and required temperature is never understated, and residence time is computed on the fastest-moving element of product, the basis a scheduled process requires. Systems with direct steam injection or infusion and indirect heating are each handled on their own terms. AdvThermaLogic In-Container extends the platform to retort, canning and batch sterilization. Its nine core modules cover temperature distribution studies judged against the IFTPS criteria, heat distribution studies, heat penetration analysis with estimation of fh, jh, fc and jc from the fitted heating and cooling curves, broken heating curves with fh before the break and f2 after it, process design by Ball's formula, Stumbo's method, Hayakawa's method and the General Method by numerical integration, process control review of recorded lots, retort process deviation evaluation, process optimization for lethality and quality retention, and scheduled-process documentation prepared to 21 CFR Parts 113 and 114. Helpers add initial-temperature correction, cold spot studies, a convection model for liquid products in still containers, tunnel pasteurizer lethality, pH classification and routine retort audits. AdvThermaLogic In-Container launches on 16 December 2026 in two editions. In-Container, for process authorities and small businesses, is 2,900 euro as a one-time purchase. In-Container Business, for large businesses and corporates, is 3,500 euro and adds Live Process Control (SCADA) with real-time F0 on the running batch and a tamper-evident batch record with 21 CFR Part 11 technical controls, Retort Equipment Maintenance, and Vent and Come-up Check. One retort connection, commissioned by AFTS, is included; each additional retort is 2,000 euro. Both editions include the first year of the AFTS F-Value Library, maintenance and updates, then an optional annual subscription of 500 euro. The continuous-flow suite is available in several editions. AdvThermaLogic Pro provides the full feature set, including 2D simulation, process deviation analysis, comparison tables, multi-segment hold tube, PDF export and audit-ready reporting, at 2,400 euro perpetual for a single seat, or 790 euro per year as an annual subscription. AdvThermaLogic Basic provides the core calculators for daily work, covering F-value, hold-tube sizing, residence time, exit temperature, process schedule and milk processing, at 790 euro perpetual. AdvThermaLogic Academic is licensed for teaching, coursework and research training at 1,000 euro for one administrator and four seats. A five-day free Pro trial is available with no credit card. All prices exclude VAT. AdvThermaLogic is written by a process authority and used by Advanced Food-Tech Solutions in its own consulting and validation work. It is intended for food engineers, process authorities, food scientists, technologists, quality assurance and food safety professionals, consultants, researchers and food-processing facilities that need scientifically based calculations, process development tools, validation support and documented engineering outputs. Alongside AdvThermaLogic, Advanced Food-Tech Solutions develops the Aseptic Tank SIP Validator, HX Studio for sanitary heat-exchanger engineering, AdvPiD CAD for hygienic process and P&ID development, process-schedule tools for aseptic and in-container processing, the AFTS F-Value Library of more than 4,300 thermal-processing reference records, and a set of free web calculators. Advanced Food-Tech Solutions is based in Athens, Greece, available across the European Union for on-site work and worldwide for remote consulting.
