Concepts driving the development

Focus on market needs

High quality products 5 Year warranty Option of PING WARRANTY (need to be connected to web)

Minimize inventory for dealers Whether you’re needs are 2 variable with 2 on/off

or 8 variable with 120 on/off, and 16 inlets. It’s done with The same control.

Facilitate service for dealers Goal : NO repair department

Facilitate training for dealers

Hardware aspects

Modular design With 8 different boards, we can offer a complete line of products

Power supply Top board Input board Variable board Relay base board (for 2 modules) Relay module (with 2 relays, 1.5HP each) Override switch board Load cell input board

Hardware aspects (cont.)

Safety

Temperature sensor on EVERY output Current measurement on EVERY output Fuses on EVERY output (except alarm) Feedback on critical signals to make sure every module is working properly Surge protection on every input, alarm relay (including gas tubes) and variable output Certain relays can be used as N/C for a fail safe condition.

Hardware aspects (cont.)

Highlights of power supply module

Alarm relay with strong surge protection Switching power supply

More efficient Less heat build-up in the box

Plug-in connectors

Hardware aspects (cont.)

Highlights of Top board

Color touch screen Linux operating system Ethernet communication

Allows wireless communication, e-mails, SMS, etc. USB ports SD memory card which contains ALL the information (parameters AND software)

Hardware aspects (cont.)

Highlights of the input board

12 completely configurable inputs (temperature, 4-20 mA, 0-10V, water meters, etc.) Gas tube protection 2 LEDs for easy diagnostic

Hardware aspects (cont.)

Variable board

10 Amp output Current and temperature measurement 2 LEDs for easy diagnostic Very high quality components, which will ensure long life

Innovative high voltage design which protects other components if one fails Large heatsink with clips (as opposed to screws) to attach triac which will ensure high

product reliability and ease servicing.

Hardware aspects (cont.)

Relay board

Up to 4 relays (2 plug-in modules of 2 relays) 10 Amp / 1.5HP output Current and temperature measurement of each relay 2 LEDs for easy diagnostic Feedback to make sure the relay coils are actually energized (Smart Switch Relays) Each relay has a fuse 2 potentiometer inputs Override switches connect directly to the relay boards

Hardware aspects (cont.)

Switch override board 2 options

2 independent on/off/auto switches 1 manual/auto and a potentiometer

2-color LEDs show status of each switch Microprocessor for every board tells main control which switches are in manual or automatic mode

Retains last known parameters if control fails. If one switch fails, you only have 2 switches to change instead of a large board (a lot less expensive) ESD protection on every switch

Hardware aspects (cont.)

Load cell measurement board

MUCH more accurate than competitors MAY allow to skip calibration altogether 2 LEDs for easy diagnostic Can be used for

Bird weighing Bin weighing Feed scale Multi-ration feeding

Hardware aspects (cont.)

Box

14x21” size Allows sufficient space for 8 boards AND wiring the boards easily Up to 4 variable boards in one box. This means up to 3V12SA w/12 inputs + 2x 0-10 V outputs in ONE box. The SAME box is used for relay panels (1 power supply + 7 relay modules = 28 relays) NO clear cover. Mil-spec silicone rubber boots No need to drill holes in box to add variable modules.

Communication

MODBUS communication between modules and boards Provides complete alarm and diagnostic status for every board Allows access to existing industrial modules (frequency drives, etc.)

Ethernet communication between controls Enables us to use readily available wireless solutions Allows each controller to access the internet

Communication (cont,)

Alarm Connected to the internet, will send text and or emails to notify of any alarm

condition. More reliable and faster than any dialer. (If connected to UPS) With smartphone, log on and acknowledge alarm or make changes.

Inovarum compatible When using any of the Inovarum software modules all data will automatically

update in real time.

Inovarum

A productivity software that helps capture data, centralizes actions and To-do's and manages producers’ activities from contingency rights & procurement planning, flock scheduling, feed programs & building preparation, production monitoring to live haul.

A performance monitoring solution that provide users with just-in-time data, status, warnings, reports and applied corrective measures to ensure production meets expected results

A governance tool that provides detailed & summarized technical and financial performance to help owners, farm managers and employees with their production responsibilities

Possible solutions to production challengesInovarum

Continuous capacity and resources planning and scheduling

Daily monitoring of key technical and financial performance indicators through on-site data capture

Constant access to planned vs actual vs to completion costs, revenue and expected financial performance

Integrating and computerizing compliance criteria will standardize and increase production success and ensure meeting best practices expectations

Planning & Scheduling

Challenges

Production monitoring

Profitability

Best practices compliance

Issues Solutions

Maximizing contingency rights planning and procurement for each period and appropriately allocate flocks according to buildings availabity and capacity

Planning and monitoring deficiencies resulting in not meeting the proper weight and mortality ratios, therefore impacting on contractual agreements

Difficulty to capture, allocate and report flock’s technical and financial data during production prevent constant visibility on margins performance and returns

Difficulty to adopt, standardize and meet best practices results in seeing compliance agencies and guidelines as control entities and measures

Software aspects

Software aspects (cont.)

Data-logging on the control (8GB SD card) Remote access to allow dealers to verify issues Diagnostics codes stored on boards to allow “Black-box” type

analysis after a failure Remotely update software for top board AND modules

Software aspects (cont.)

ONE software for ALL controllers Adding boards or modules adds features “Pay as you go” for

Bird weighing Feed or bin weighing Multi-ration feeding Chain-disk control

Setup Wizard Detects the modules and boards which are currently attached and adjusts the

installation process accordingly
