Sterling Systems & Controls Receiving/Transfer automation application module

Sterling Systems & Controls has announced its automation application module for receiving and material transfer for dry solids. All automation systems are custom engineered and manufactured to meet customer requirements. The company routinely incorporates its Receiving/Transfer application module in automation systems within a variety of industries.

The application is custom designed, which includes allowing for manual control or to include the ability for automatic receiving and transfer steps within the user’s facility. A fully automatic application accurately tracks and transfers incoming material to the correct location, such as grain and other commodity materials in a feed manufacturing facility.

Truck or railcar transport can be accommodated. Feed rates are controlled to maximise efficiency and safety. After the material has been moved into the containment location (bin etc) the system logs and weighs empty trucks before they leave the facility. Weight measurements, before and after material transfer, are logged into the tracking function, maintaining accuracy and traceability.

More efficient receiving and transfer of incoming materials means higher throughput, more production and lower labour costs.

Records and information are stored in a database by vendor, truck/rail company, etc, allowing users to provide custom reports.

Traceability, loT tracking and batch validation are enhanced.
