SCADA System

Automation in Palm Oil Mill

1. Labor shortage

2. Cost effective using continuous sterilizer, eliminate use cages, railtrack, cranes, tippers, transcar, tractor

3. Operator productivity

4. Improve monitoring on processing

5. Reduction mill downtime

6. Improve steam management

7. Reduce oil & kernel losses

Sterilizer cooking time

1. Before:

Inlet Exhaust Condensate Total
1st peak 10 3 2 15
2nd peak 10 3 2 15
3rd peak 87 4 4 95
Total 120 minit
