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 includes: requesting a list of batch data to provide to the remote computing device, presenting a selection interface 710 to select batch data to be provided, and receiving, via the selection interface, a selection of a batch executive to provide the batch data 712. The method also includes receiving, via the selection interface, one or more filter criteria, applying the filter criteria to data available from the batch executive, and transmitting the set of data associated with the list of batch data to be provided to the mobile device 714. Further aspects comprise: displaying the selection interface on a GUI, and using a mobile telephone data or the internet as the transmission means.
