Anti-microbial application equipment with controls

摘要

A control system for monitoring an antimicrobial application system may include a controller having a monitoring program including an operations unit and an interface unit. The operations unit may include a sensor module operatively coupled to a plurality of sensors positioned to detect operation data associated with the application system in real-time. An adjustment module may adjust the operation of the application system. An analysis module may analyze real-time operation data and initiate a specified response when the analysis indicates that a trigger event has occurred. The response may include issuing a notification to a notification device or initiating the adjustment module to perform a control operation to modify the operation of the antimicrobial application system. A remote monitoring center may control multiple and remote application systems. Mobile devices and a control panel may be operable to interface with operations of the antimicrobial application system via the control system.

主权项

1. A control system for monitoring antimicrobial treatment equipment of antimicrobial application systems of multiple plants, the control system comprising:
a multi-plant controller configured to execute a multi-plant monitoring program, the multi-plant controller comprising:
a multi-plant interface unit to receive real-time operation data from a plurality of plant antimicrobial application systems, each associated with an antimicrobial application plant, comprising antimicrobial application equipment operatively coupled to the multi-plant controller and controllable by the multi-plant controller, wherein the antimicrobial application equipment comprises one or more components of the group consisting of:
a rotary screen filter comprising a rotatable, cylindrical body defined by a screen and into which antimicrobial treatment solution is received for filtration of solid components,a plurality of spray nozzles positioned to direct antimicrobial treatment solution onto work pieces as the work pieces are conveyed through a spray cabinet,a dip tank for containing antimicrobial treatment solution and a conveyer for conveying work pieces through the antimicrobial treatment solution contained in the dip tank,a suction box configured to fluidically couple to a dip tank and including a sensor for sensing a level of antimicrobial treatment solution in the dip tank,a capture unit comprising a series of activated carbon filters to filter antimicrobial component from an antimicrobial treatment solution, anda capture unit comprising a series of activated carbon filters each including a header having a plurality of arms defining fluid ports for distributing antimicrobial treatment solution over the activated carbon; and a multi-plant operations unit comprising a multi-plant analysis module configured to analyze the real-time operation data and initiate a specified response when the analysis indicates occurrence of a trigger event, wherein the response comprises at least one of issuing a notification to one or more notification devices or initiating a control operation at one or more antimicrobial application equipment of the antimicrobial application system associated with the trigger event to modify an operation thereof.
