SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) traditionally refers to a system for supervisory control and data acquisition. It supports humans in the process of remote monitoring and control.

Thuận Nhật’s SCADA software is designed to be intuitive, user-friendly, securely stored, easy to use, and easily customizable to integrate with software from other manufacturers and suppliers. It is applied in various manufacturing industries:

• Animal feed production plants: livestock, poultry, aquatic products, etc.
• Food and beverage (F&B) processing plants: coffee, pastries, etc.

The segments of the monitoring, management, and production control system include:

• Material feeding segment
• Dosing segment
• Grinding and mixing, liquids segment
• Pelleting and extrusion segment
• Cooling and drying segment
• Automatic bagging robot and bulk weighing segment

• Managing materials, bins, and recipes across multiple versions.
• Setting operational parameters according to the recipe and materials for each stage and individual machine clusters to ensure reliability, stability, and productivity.
• Setting minimum/maximum allowable levels at weighing points to protect the weighing system.
• The system allows for operation in two modes: automatic and manual.
• Interlocking devices within the process and safety signals.
• Checking for cross-contamination and requiring line cleaning before starting the production plan.
• Alerting and controlling when the required weight exceeds the capacity of the automatic weighing points.
• Allowing the addition of recycled materials or new materials into the production plan.
• Permitting the change of dosing bins when the material is insufficient at the same dosing point or a different dosing point.

• Automatic control of machines: floor, grinding, and mixing according to parameters from the recipe.
• Automatic control of the pelletizing system based on the parameters set in the recipe for each pellet mill.
• Automatic control, monitoring, and recording of information for the expander system, cooling, oil coating, and enzyme addition according to the pelleting plan.
• Automatic update and adjustment of dosing parameters (Smart dosing) to enhance productivity and accuracy of the dosing system.
• Error control during the dosing process: open door error, communication error, load cell error, etc.
• Automatic update and adjustment of dosing parameters (Smart dosing) to enhance productivity and accuracy of the dosing system.
• Real-time and historical graph display for areas such as elevators, grinding, mixing, and pelleting.

Material Feeding Segment

• Monitor and accurately control the material feeding process.
• Automatic check weighing to evaluate system productivity.
• Set control parameters based on the material.
• Interlock safety signals within the system.

Dosing and Pelleting

• Automatically dose according to the recipe for different dosing types.
• Automatically check and adjust dosing parameters to achieve the highest accuracy and productivity (Smart Dosing).
• Record dosing time and productivity, and track batches to analyze bottlenecks in system productivity.
• Automatically reverse direction, change screens, and control feeding for various grinding machines.
• Set control parameters according to the recipe.
• Control cross-contamination and analyze dosing errors based on the standards of each plant.

Pelleting

• Set control parameters according to the recipe for each machine.
• Automatically control feeding, expander steam, and energy usage for each product.
• Record operating parameters of the pellet mill.
• Automatically control uniformity in the cooling machine.
• Control moisture levels from input to finished product output.
