01Feed-mill automation
Run the whole feed mill from one system
AutoMill controls batching, tracks every raw material, and links intake, production and dispatch — so you always know what's in the plant.
02What it does
One system for the whole mill
AutoMill manages the plant from one place. It batches to setpoint, records the actual weight of every raw material, and traces each product from intake to the final bin.
- ▸ Live plant data, as it happens
- ▸ Reports generated automatically
- ▸ Full traceability, batch by batch
- ▸ Every process visible in one place
- ▸ Interfaces with your PLC, SCADA, weighbridge and lab
03How it fits together
One system, from the gate to dispatch
- 01 Security Every vehicle in and out, on paper-free tablets.
- 02 Weighbridge Deliveries and collections weighed and tied to the order.
- 03 Raw-material intake Routed to the right silo, quality-checked at intake.
- 04 Batching Batched to setpoint, with the actual weights recorded.
- 05 Quality Results logged against the batch — instant pass/fail.
- 06 Dispatch Outloaded or packed, with full traceability.
04The modules
Twelve modules, one shared database
Batching module
Accurate batching control on clear SCADA screens, with batch, mixing and transfer times recorded and tied into planning and the plant database.
View →Hand-additions and premix module
Prepare premixes against platform scales, confirm the right recipe with RFID at the tipping point, and interlock each premix into the main batch.
View →Outloading Module
Control outloading to the bin and the truck: per-compartment loading, accurate waybills, and checks against orders and the weighbridge to stop mis-loads.
View →Packing Module
Tie automated bagging into the plant: bag counts and weights, production-vs-bagging comparisons, and finished-goods stock updated from packing figures.
View →Production planning & scheduling module
Import orders, forecast and schedule production, pre-check that a run can start, and feed setpoints straight to the batching PLC.
View →Quality module
Log quality results against each batch with barcoded samples, set specs for instant pass/fail, and stop out-of-range product from moving on.
View →Raw-material handling module
Run intakes from one place: weighbridge-driven routing to the right silo, lab-result checks, live bin stock, and contamination control at intake.
View →Recipe-management module
Version every recipe so you can trace what went into a batch, import formulas from your existing system, and lock changes behind biometric sign-in.
View →Security-management module
Record every vehicle in and out on paper-free tablets, read the licence disc at the gate, and track open transactions on a security dashboard.
View →Stock-management module
Live raw-material and finished-goods stock that updates at every step, fed by the weighbridge and batching, ready for production decisions and stock-takes.
View →Traceability – batch tracking
Follow every batch through the plant with timestamped data at each holding point, route interlocking to prevent contamination, and tracking to the final bin.
View →Weighbridge-management module
Handle every weighbridge transaction against the order, read the licence disc, capture scale weights, and link to intake and quality with an RFID card.
