    Digitization of Energy Production and Consumption in Beverage Industry
    (Bells University of Technology, 2022-05-12) ALAWODE, Jeremiah Olakunle; Dr.Mrs. Olamide O.Olusanya
    Energy is a major driving force of industrial operations. Virtually nothing can be done without consumption of one or more types of energy or conversion from one form to another by the general law of conversation of energy. Quantifying these energies and accurately costing same has been a major concern as only a rough estimated values are usually assumed. In this research work, digitization of steam energy production and consumption in beverage industry were focused on. In the methodology adopted, flow meters identification and compatibility for energy digitization was ascertained. Initial setup of the flow meter was carried outland each flow meter wired using the digital input terminals selected for the plus input signals. This is responsible for the totalizer value (initially being collected manually and locally from each flow meters). Secondly, the identified pulse input for each flow meter was programmed in the PLC using the ladder logic programming language. This involves creating a unique tag name to identify the flow meter, as well as programming the continuous routine responsible for totalizing the flow per pulse during each flow measurement cycle. Afterwards, the connectivity configurations of each flow meter tags in the server were carried out, the OPC\OLE path is configured to ensure that data from the flow meter through the PLC gets to the digitization server. Finally, the manually obtained data from flow meter is compared with the digitized data from the server. The digital manufacturing operation(DMO)server results and the ones manually collected are compared and analyzed using the SPSS software tool for data analysis . In conclusion, the results show that Digitization of energy production and consumption in Beverage industry' is a practicable solution to solve energy measurement problems in any establishment. This solution can also be extended to other energy utilities such as water, PMS, diesel, gas, and electricity
