ConnectEVE provides the display interface for a complex control system in a Dairy (milk) factory.
Today we are showing you a system for controlling the exchange and flow of milk between cistern trucks and factory tanks. Due to the fragile nature of product, high reliability and accurate feedback is a necessity.
First the staff arrives. Dairy factory employees check in with RFid cards, while truckers use their driver's IDs.
Then, the milk starts flowing. The process is monitored and controlled by a device that measures the flow and temperature of the milk as it fills the factory tanks. As necessary, the device adjusts the operation of the various pumps and filters. A protective mechanism that reroutes the flow through alternate pipes is also in place (in case the filters get clogged).
A ConnectEVE board displays all the important parameters so that humans can validate.
In addition to controlling the process in real-time, the device also logs them through a LAN network to an SQL database, for long-term archiving.
The brains of the system is a PIC32MX695F512H MCU.
This project was done by EuroGenyx, the co-creators of RaspyPlay 4. They decided to share it with us after seeing the story about the Biomass pellet burner controller, also including MikroE products.
