Is elevator automation appropriate for a small farmer — an expert's explanation

Large and medium-sized elevators have long understood that automation helps to clearly and quickly perform assigned tasks, allows you to control your employees and is generally a factor that improves the economic condition of the enterprise. The head of the automation and power supply department of KMZ Industries, Mykola Cheshikhin, told about this in the article "From the controller of one dryer, you can control two or three elevators standing next to each other" on Elevatorist.com.

"With an automated system, you can analyze your elevator situation faster, detect errors, prevent accidents, and reload or send the product for rework faster than you would manually. That is, you see in front of you on the monitor the entire situation that is developing at the object and 70-80% of the decisions on working with the equipment are made by the software. Of course, there are some decisions that the operator has to make directly himself," the expert explained.

According to him, the wave of elevator automation is also gradually reaching small farmers, especially when the younger generation comes to manage the business (which is usually a family business). He added that the past few years have seen an increase in the number of customers from small farmers who are building their elevators in stages.

"Of course, there are those who do not yet consider it expedient to automate their granaries. But with each increase in the price of electricity for entrepreneurs, the number of those who want to optimize the technological process increases. And process automation gets another argument in its favor," Mykola Cheshikhin said.

He added that with the help of the software, the elevator can analyze the operation of the equipment and see where it is possible to optimize in order to save, for example, a thousand kilowatts per day.

"Our program keeps track of equipment operating hours on an ongoing basis. For each mechanism, an account of overloaded grain is kept, therefore, all downtimes, malfunctions and everything else can be detected. That is, it is possible to calculate how to load the equipment at full capacity in order to optimize the process and not to run idle," explained the head of the automation and power supply department of KMZ Industries.

If we look at an example, the program allows you to see how long the norias or conveyors on your elevator have worked and how many tons of grain they have transferred during this time. The software makes a comparison: the noria with a productivity of 175 t/hour worked for 2 hours, transported 20 tons of grain during this time, the efficiency is very low.
