Justify the role of instrumentation and control in Agriculture and food processing

Instrumentation and control refer to the analysis, measurement, and control of industrial process variables using process control instruments and software tools such as temperature, pressure, flow, and level sensors, analyzers, electrical and mechanical actuators, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) systems, automated control systems and more.
Control and instrumentation engineers are in charge of managing instrumentation and control systems at industrial facilities. Typically, a control and instrumentation engineers are responsible for designing, developing, and operating control devices and systems within an industrial facility.
Instrumentation for food industry processing equipment helps ensure adherence to these standards by providing solutions for quality monitoring and product consistency.
Sensors and temperature control instrumentation are critical for measuring, regulating and recording temperatures to ensure food safety. Sanitation is also extremely important to effectively clean equipment and prevent cross-contamination in food production facilities that process and package multiple products. Various types of instrumentation are available to maintain compliance with food safety standards.
Industrial instrumentation can be integrated seamlessly into your existing control platforms to provide you with monitoring and data collection for effective process management. An optimized food & beverage production process will also help you reduce labor costs, improve workplace safety, and reduce costs associated with raw material waste
Product inconsistencies, safety, and quality issues, and equipment downtime can all cost you valuable time and money by slowing down the production process. Instrumentation helps provide a solution to these issues working in conjunction with your food industry processing equipment to provide a fully automated solution.
instrumentation and control is the use of technology in agriculture, horticulture, and aquaculture with the aim of improving yield, efficiency, and profitability. The usage of instruments can take agriculture forward.
Electricity is hardly available in rural areas where big pumps cannot work, here instrumentation can help you setup solar pumps. The energy can be stored for the whole day and in night it can be used to run the pumps. The pump start or stop automated through mobile application.
Seeder is a device used in agriculture to sow seeds for crops by positioning them in the soil.
Using humidity and soil sensors, we can find out the moisture and fertility of the soil. For example, the crop needs some quantity of water daily, instrument can be created for low quality programmable logic which is connected to water pump and water can be supplied through drip irrigation.
The device can be used to plants seeds, fertilize them, pesticide spraying etc.
Power tiller is used to reaper, spraying, water pumping and pudding of areca nut. Mist blower is used for the treatment and elimination of pests and insects from allotments. They recently found new instrument to climb the tree and chopping the nut. Weeds can be removed through brush cutter.

The main function of instrumentation in industrial application is design and calibration of systems for measuring, recording and controlling the process variables such as pressure, temperature, speed and flow rate.

pressure

Pressure Instrumentation: Various types of gauges, transmitters, and sensors are used to measure and display density, flow rates, fluid levels and more. These instruments help improve safety and quality control by monitoring critical functions and sending a signal where pressures reach low or high levels.

Temperature

Temperature measurement: Maintaining proper temperatures is critical in the production and storage of food and beverages. We provide a range of temperature instrumentation including sensors and heaters for monitoring cooking processes and ensuring ingredients and finished products are produced and stored at the appropriate temperatures.

Flow rate

Flow Meters: Measure the flow rate of liquids and are useful for dispensing applications. These instruments can be tailored to your exact needs whether you need to measure gallons per minute or liters per second to ensure repeatability and product consistency.

Level

Level Measurement Instrumentation: Continuous and point level instrumentation includes a range of floats, probes, and switches for measuring and monitoring fluid levels in holding tanks and other vessels.
