The automation level of the central feeding system is quite high, which can bring many conveniences to industrial production.

In terms of material transportation, the central feeding system can achieve fully automated material handling. Through pre-set programs and parameters, the system can accurately control equipment such as motors and vacuum pumps, and automatically extract materials from the raw material storage area according to the production plan. For example, in plastic production factories, plastic particles can be transported from large silos to the hoppers of various injection molding machines or extruders without human intervention. And the conveying speed and flow rate can also be automatically adjusted according to the needs of the production equipment. If the processing speed of a certain production process is accelerated, the system can timely increase the feeding speed of the equipment to ensure the continuous supply of materials, and there will be no production interruption caused by insufficient feeding.

In the monitoring process, the degree of automation is also remarkable. Modern central feeding systems are equipped with a large number of sensors that can monitor key parameters such as material inventory, pressure and flow rate of conveying pipelines in real time. Once the material inventory falls below the set value, the system will automatically issue an alarm and initiate the replenishment process. At the same time, sensors can quickly detect abnormal situations during the transportation process, such as pipeline blockage or leakage. When a pipeline blockage occurs, the system will automatically stop conveying and attempt to solve the blockage problem through blowback or other dredging mechanisms; For leakage situations, the leakage point can be quickly located to avoid material waste and potential safety hazards.

In terms of control, with the help of advanced programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and computer monitoring systems, the central feeding system can achieve remote control. Operators can operate and manage the entire feeding system from the central control room or through mobile devices. For example, adjusting the priority of feeding in different production areas, modifying feeding parameters, etc. greatly improves the flexibility and efficiency of management. Moreover, the system can be integrated with the enterprise's production management software (MES) to achieve data sharing and collaboration, closely integrating production planning with material supply planning, further enhancing the overall efficiency of automated production.
