How to Automate Ingredient Dosing

Precise dosing begins with the right mechanical choice. For large volumes, Gravity Feed via pneumatic valves is standard. For high precision or viscous fluids, Pump Dosing ensures controlled flow rates.

Reliability starts at the controller level. We use FBD (Function Block Diagram) to handle safety interlocks and real-time sensor processing.

Complex recipes require a clear sequence. SFC (Sequential Function Chart) management allows the PLC to track stages automatically and safely.

Once the PLC logic is written, the operator needs a way to select recipes, input weights, and monitor the process. You could buy a classic, expensive HMI panel and spend days linking tags manually.

Alternatively, you can use a Browser-based Web SCADA. It runs on any standard PC, tablet, or smartphone. Below is a modern Node-RED interface designed specifically for batch dosing and recipe management.
