Presentation Summary

The Chinese herbal medicine extraction workshop built by Tasly Group in Huanren Manchu Autonomous County, Benxi City, Liaoning Province started the formal production in September 2018.The raw material input is 10,000 tons annually. Comparing with the manual operation, this workshop saved 97 personnel. At the same time, the online control system, as a part of the quality informationization, managed the temperature, pressure, flow, density, sugar content and alcohol concentration and ensure the consistency of quality during production process. Based on BATCH automatic control system of Chinese medicine extraction, the video surveillance system was integrated into the DCS system for the first time, which mean that the platforms were integrated. Besides, based on the C/S system architecture and redundant CPU + bus I/O technology ensured the system stability, and save the project cost also. The functions of energy management and equipment management were added to calculate the batch energy consumption and operation status of related production equipment in real time. Electronic batch records were automatically generated after batch production.
