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.
