Agri-Drying

Description

With the Agri-Drying Market-Ready Kit, you can monitor your Agricultural Drying Equipment (modern or legacy) and send all of the information to your network, ERP System or other business intelligence software. It is a NO CODE, plug-and-play solution.

WHAT IS MONITORED

Drying Bed Temperature, Humidity
CFM, Temperature of Air from Fan Duct
Blower VFD Drive Energy Usage
Natural Gas Consumed in Heater/Kiln
Environmental Data (e.g., Temperature, Humidity)
Set-Up, Hold, Cool Down Times
Amount of Material used in the job
Yield Per Job
Job Duration
Cost Per Run (Material and Energy)
Machine Utilization/Uptime

DATA USAGE

Monitor machine characteristics for anomolies during production run.
Determine optimal duration of drying and setting by strain of HOPS.
Confirm optimal environmental conditions for the drying process.
Adjust machine settings in real-time to maintain consistent product quality.
Compare product quality and cost efficiencies of each bed.
Root cause product nonconformance caused by equipment deviations.
Pinpoint equipment deviations for predictive maintenance and repairs.
Monitor usage for production scheduling and energy efficiency.
Forecast and track per run production cost (including energy cost)
Track environmental effects on product quality and machine performance.
Check machine usage hours to trigger notification for routine maintenance.
Run simulations to see what changes in the process yield efficiencies.
Utilize energy data to support a Sustainability Program.

The data collected by is so fine-grained that process, resource, equipment and/or environmental deviations can be specifically targeted in real- time. Having such detailed data also assists in upgrading equipment predictive maintenance programs, as well as focused troubleshooting relating to equipment.
