Ideally the system should of- fer process control for each process in a single com- prehensive package as opposed to a combination of different solutions. FULL AUTOMATION Operators should minimally intervene with the sys- tem. Selecting a manufacturing order and destina- tion silo/bin and starting it should be enough for the production to be completed. For processes requiring regulation of variables such as pelleting, only the set points should be set by the operator and the system should be able control the processes fully automati- cally. Operators should not need to adjust feeder speed manually. Full automation is possible but in practice many systems lack full automation. Full au- tomation is important because it affects the capacity of the process. Since operators can not attend to pro- cess all the time if they are needed for manual adjust- ment they leave a level of margin from the full capacity of the machines. This will prevent using machines in full capacity. The fully automated system on the other hand can attend the process all the time and be able to use the machines in full capacity. Dependence on the operator skills and experience is not desirable since operators might change. Also human interven- tion is error prone. TRACEABILITY SUPPORT Traceability requirements are increasingly becoming important. Traceability is an important tool for preven- tion of infectious diseases. For this reason, increas- ingly more strict traceability requirement regulations are imposed. Traceability is also important for quality control and thus customer satisfaction Traceability can be implemented manually but manual methods are error prone and labor intensive. Automation can support traceability and ease manual processes to different degrees. Ultimately each unit of the feed produced should be related to raw ma- terial information that is included in that unit. Barcod- ing support in the automation system is an important way of traceability support. For each batch produced a unique identifier should be assigned by the system. ●Sıvı ilavesi ●Peletleme ●Ekstrüzyon ●Yağ, aroma kaplama ●Paketleme Fabrikaya bağlı olarak bu proseslerin bir kısmı veya tamamı mevcut olabilir. İdeal durumda sistem, farklı çö- zümlerin kombinasyonu yerine, her süreç için tek bir kap- samlı pakette proses kontrolü sunmalıdır. TAM OTOMASYON Operatörlerin sisteme müdahalesi minimum düzeyde olmalıdır. Bir üretim siparişi ve hedef silo/ambar seçip başlatmak, üretimin tamamlanması için yeterli olmalıdır. Peletleme gibi değişkenlerin düzenlenmesini gerektiren prosesler için operatör tarafından sadece ayar noktala- rı belirlenmeli ve sistem prosesleri tam otomatik olarak kontrol edebilmelidir. Operatörlerin besleyici hızını ma- nuel olarak ayarlamasına gerek duyulmamalıdır. Tam oto- masyon mümkündür ancak uygulamada birçok sistem tam otomasyondan yoksundur. Tam otomasyon önemlidir
