2023: Testing an AI based process control for grain dryer automation
The Smart Dryer solution is a project in which a 25m³ batch dryer was digitalized with sensors and a control panel connected to a cloud server. The goal was to bring information and control to a mobile device and gather data for creating a model that describes the grain drying process. The Smart Dryer solution includes measuring the temperature and humidity of both incoming and outgoing airflow, as well as temperature measurements within the grain in the dryer. The ultimate aim is to predict when a batch will be fully dried based on the data and provide recommendations for selecting optimal drying windows when the dryer load allows it. A small computer in the dryer uploads sensor readings to the server, where software processes the data and provides a real-time drying prediction to the operator’s mobile device.
