March 5, 2010: Optimise your mill

DSL Systems believe AutoPilot4Feed is the most advanced and comprehensive control system in the world that is designed specifically for feed mills, pet food plants and similar factories. AutoPilot4Feed is fully configurable and has modules for controlling all areas of a typical mill. It may be used to control one area of a plant initially and then extended as circumstances permit. AutoPilot4Feed has many features built in to help optimise the process and allow unmanned operation where possible. AutoPilot4Feed runs on standard Windows PCs with built-in redundancy and has recently been ported to the Microsoft .net platform. This ensures true compatibility with Microsoft’s recently released Windows 7 and future proofs the system.

AutoPilot4Feed can connect to most commonly found new and old IO systems, which allows your process control system to be upgraded with minimum disruption and wiring changes.

AutoPilot4Feed includes comprehensive logging information, which is stored in an open Microsoft SQL Server database for up to five years. Data may be displayed and printed using the viewing tools and reports provided or custom reports may be produced by the user. Integration facilities can be provided to exchange this information with commercial systems.

Additional facilities may be added to the system including Masterweigh hand weighing, Power Monitoring, Asset Master maintenance system, Moisture measurement and control, Hand Held PDA, Full lot traceability, Bar-coding systems and the sophisticated Plan4Feed order scheduling system with Kanban option.

DSL Systems provides 24 hour / 7 day support for all its systems worldwide.
