Application of Remote Control Technology for a Homogenizing Vacuum Machine

Abstract

An increase in the efficiency of a technological process for the production of mayonnaise products by means of remote information access is considered. The scheme of information flows in the software and hardware complex for interaction between equipment assemblies and mechanisms and software has been developed. The dispatcher's software interface has been developed for real time monitoring the technological process of manufacturing mayonnaise products. Software modules for tracking failures and malfunctions, including user settings for an automated homogenizing vacuum machine are developed. A recipe editing module has been developed in the program for making mayonnaise products. A remote system of operator's access to work and restriction of rights to control functions, setting the modes of a homogenizing vacuum machine by means of user authorization has been developed. An automated system for alerting of emergency and warning situations by means of messages and sound signals has been developed. It is proposed to store in a relational database current and retrospective messages, and indications of process parameters for the production of mayonnaise products. A system of trends for real time monitoring and analysing the dynamics of changes in process parameters is proposed. It is proposed to record the data on the varieties produced and the number of production cycles, the reasons for downtime, equipment failures and malfunctions in the daily reporting system.
