SMC Functions
Main Function
Cabinet with an automatic temperature control system controlled by inverter. It consists of:
- Yaskawa V1000 inverter
- PLC for automatic control
- Automatic start and control kit for multi-fan
- Automatic start and control kit for cooling pad
- Automatic start kit for heater
- Lighting control with automatic on-off timer
- Temperature and humidity sensors Inside the house
- Alarm lights and signals
- 7-inch HMI touchscreen connected to the control cabinet
- Digital power meter for automatic measurement of current and voltage.
Add-on Option
Management Monitoring and Control Options:
- Recording and displaying the number of pigs entering, deaths, and causes of death inside the enclosure.
- Processing and displaying data from the wind speed sensor.
- Processing and displaying data from the turbine flow meter to calculate water usage rate.
- Processing and displaying data from the ammonia gas sensor.
Closed circuit camera system inside the greenhouse, linked to a cloud application for centralized monitoring. - Automatic control system for opening/closing and controlling various devices in the breeding facility, such as water/feed line system, curtain system, feeding winch system, window shutters, biogas pump, and others, utilizing the I/O channels to receive data and distribute power to various endpoint devices.
MA (Maintenance Alert) and PM (Preventive Maintenance) options:
- Detecting and processing alerts for maintenance cycles of system equipment, such as bearing replacement intervals, motor replacement intervals, fan blade replacements, and other devices that require condition-based detection and alerting for scheduled maintenance.
- Displaying reports on equipment cycles/lifespans and sending advance maintenance notifications through cloud applications and Line messaging.
SMC Smart Farm Cloud Application
System Monitoring & Control
The main page provides an overview of the average state of all houses
Dashboard showing the number of houses and a page showing details of Monitoring & Control of that house
Dashboard showing the number of houses and a page showing details of Monitoring & Control of that house
Input data details of changes in the number of animals in each house.
Daily report page showing details of changes in the number of animals, food consumption, and water usage in each house.
Graph showing the average daily consumption of food and water per animal, for tracking and comparing with standard values.
All data logs will be stored in the system for future analysis, such as temperature, humidity, and various incident occurrences.
The settings page allows detailed configuration for each time interval of feeding, and enables copying of the configuration to other remaining facilities, making the work more convenient.
Notification
Real-time alerts via the Line application that can add, adjust parameters, or address issues.
MA & PM
Real-time alerts via the Line application that can add, adjust parameters, or address concerns related to MA and PM.
Smart
Streamline the process of inspection, monitoring, and notification, extending to wireless control of operations through both local and online.
Big Data
Utilize data or export it to support analysis, pig farming, production, equipment maintenance, efficiency detection through data-driven reports and graphs.
Energy Saver
Saving energy usage by 30-40% and improve power factor.
Benefit
Start operating the new system on April 8, 2019 at 6:00 p.m.
System operation started on April 8th, 2019, at 18:00.
Average energy consumption was 3.52 KWH/H. Comparing it to the energy usage statistics of the previous equipment during the experimental period from May 5th, 2019, to September 19th, 2019, which was 6.72 KWH/H, it was found that energy consumption could be reduced by (6.72-3.52)/6.72*100 = 47.61%.
Estimated energy savings for the month of April 2023 (from April 8th to April 30th, 22 days, 15 houses):
Previous equipment: 6.72 * 22 * 24 * 15 = 53,222.40 KWH (212,889.60 THB)
SMC: 3.52 * 22 * 24 * 15 = 27,878.40 KWH (111,513.60 THB)
In summary, energy consumption has decreased by 25,335 KWH, resulting in savings of approximately 101,340 THB.
Old system Power factor 0.79
SMC Power factor 0.96
