HMIs Deliver More Detail and Accuracy

Posted on May 2, 2016 by Vitalii Prokopiv

Human-machine interfaces are the terminals we use to interact with the digital world. In industrial applications these are the monitors on the plant floor that allow informed, safer choices. Developers and users continue to improve HMIs and apply them in newer environments.

In dairy processing acilities, incoming milk is chilled rapidly to 4° C and distributed to various silos for different end products. Each product has different tolerance during processing, and HMIs display this to plant operators in real-time for analysis and decision making. New models of HMIs and monitoring sensors have standardized these silos with new features like alarms for high or low temperatures as well as flow meters and float switches for distribution data, batch reports, and overflow warnings. Some new features can control pumps, and agitators for each individual silo as well.

New Process Control FLP

Posted on April 25, 2016April 25, 2016 by Vitalii Prokopiv

Dr. Babu Padmanabhan, inventor of the Fractional Lobe Processor, looks forward to the benefits of his new product. The teams expect improvements in temporal control and spatial control throughout the engineering process. The FLP removes hot spots and dead zones while retaining process continuity, by focusing on regulating input and output flows.

Greater control over the processing speed and timing safeguards sensitive input resources from adverse conditions before production.

“The FLP has also opened new, hitherto unexplored vistas in the field of material transformation owing to wide range of unit operations that can be seamlessly designed in the FLP. It has an immense potential to design, create and manufacture different types of products with highly-controlled physicochemical attributes making it a true versatile continuous processor.” -Dr. Himadri Sen of STEERLife.

Flow Meters to Get ‘Drive-by Data’

Posted on April 25, 2016 by Vitalii Prokopiv

The NPNRD, North Platte Natural Resource District, has been awarded $750,000 for research and development on a new telemetry system for faster access to flow meter information.

The new system will allow for remote access to flow meter data with a historical view. A small camera will sit above the meter face and take pictures of the display, these pictures will be uploaded to a website, converted to a digital record, and be available to District staff and the landowner.

“Producers and landowners will benefit from being provided real-time information to aid in their management decisions,”-General Manager John Berge from NPNRD
