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.
