Abstract
the scope of this project is to implement and realize the required preprocessing stage phase requirement in the post-harvest treatment of fruits as per industry norms. The treatment process involves in removing field soil, surface micro-organisms but also to remove fungicides, insecticides and other pesticides according to the agricultural board standards specifying maximum levels of these materials that may be retained on the fruit. The PC based process measurement involves multi point temperature measurement and control, pH or conductivity measurement, motors control through AC drives, driving the contactors/ actuators and getting information from sensor & switches with auto/ manual features. The necessary electrically isolated Analog & Digital functional hardware blocks and application program codes have to be developed and realized for communicating with PC parallel & serial port for dynamic data exchange. The user friendly GUI interface facilities the operator for easy interaction with process through command buttons, monitoring & control of the various operation of the plant and records the data in real time in to the data grid and also stores in to database for future reference.
