It can range from a single thermostat home heating controller using a controlling a domestic boiler to large industrial control systems which are used for controlling processes or machines. It is one fully integrated system that provides the synchronization of all applications and devices involved in the manufacturing process. This allows for the successful merging of information flow from the distributed control system (DCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems so that it is available in one interface in real-time. Objective The main objective to implement control system in the food industry is to improve the economics of the process by achieving the following objectives: Reduce variation in the product quality, achieve more consistent production and maximize yield, Ensure process and product safety, Reduce manpower productivity, Reduce waste and Optimize energy efficiency and enhance operator Types Of Control Systems 1. Manual control: This type of operation depends on the skill of individual operators in knowing when and how much adjustment to make. Therefore, manual control may be used in those applications where changes in the manipulated parameter cause the process to change slowly and by a small amount. 2. Automatic Control: In automatic control, the process parameters measured by various sensors and instrumentation may be controlled by using control loops. A typical control loop consists of three basic component the Sensor: the sensor senses or measures process parameters and generate a feedback output acceptable to the controller. Controller: measurement signal with the set value. System: Finally, the system receives the control signal produced by the controller and adjusts or alters the process by bringing the measured process property to return to the set point. controller compares the PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.

To maximize for proper execution, we need digital control systems which in save manufacturing. the organizations from costly failures 2. As the demand increases day by day, food manufacturers have increasingly adopted computer- based systems for process control. This is primarily due to data accessibility y, application flexibility, and low cost provided by microprocessor technology to ensure adequate reliability. 3. Control system validation also ensures the proper operation of equipment under normal and abnormal conditions. Validation helps to assure product safety as well as the safety of manpower working in the factory. Types Of Control Systems To ensure the correct action some guidelines & standards should be followed for the computer- controlled systems: The FDA Perspective: DA defines validation as “the establishment of documented evidence, which provides a high degree of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its predetermined and quality attributes” (FDA, 1987a). specifications the concept of control system FDA promotes validation as a part of process validation within the food industry and has established some inspectional guidelines. which states that all food needs to be produced in such a way as to make sure that it has “prepared, packed, or held under not been insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health.” Technology used Nowadays “big data” approach to the whole food supply chain (from farm to fork), would improve production efficiency and security and enable a new level of traceability in short, one of the most important lessons of the industrial revolution – the digital one – is that data is not a by-product, it is real added value and should be considered as the automation unique selling point. To cope with the extremely scenario, a significant step-change in reducing food processing costs while increasing food quality and security is urgently needed. In this context, systematic use of automated & control systems with fully integrated digitized process control would facilitate a major food manufacturing efficiency, advancement delivering significantly reduced production costs whilst food waste. lowering energy requirements and complex and variable in PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.

The act is imposed to make women feel secure by preventing, prohibiting, and redressing the occurrence of sexual harassment at the workplace. The majority of women do not even report sexual harassment it is because of either being unaware of their rights or sometimes due to fear of losing their job. Under this POSH Act, an employer is required to comply with certain requirements. Requirement to Constitute ICC Under the POSH act, in all workplaces with 10 or more employees, it is mandatory to have an internal complaints committee (ICC). This Committee is to be formed by both Private as well as Public Organizations. The woman has to speak to the (ICC) to file a complaint relating to sexual harassment. After receiving the complaint from the woman, the committee investigates the matter and accordingly makes recommendations. An ICC constituted by an employer should comprise three categories of members, with certain eligibility criteria as follows: 1. Presiding Officer: This must be a senior the organization she will also be the chairperson of the internal complaints committee. female employee of 2. One External Member: The person must be from an NGO or Association committed to look after the cause of women and issues related to sexual harassment. This provision has been carried forward from the Vishakha Guidelines wherein the supreme court has implemented such requirements. The reason behind this clause is that there must be transparency and woman can speak freely without any pressure. 3. Two Employee Members: These members must be aware of general issues and problems to the cause of women or must have some legal knowledge on related matters. These members are not mandatory as it may not be easy to find such employees. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION READ MORE....

Adding flavours evocative of mithai to chocolates India's chocolate consumption has increased dramatically in the last several years, with a substantial percentage of the population enjoying this decadent delicacy. According to research, six out of ten Indians had chocolate in the three months leading up to June 2023. Notably, some of them have expressed an interest in exploring new tastes. Despite this growing interest, there is still room for flavour innovation in India's chocolate sector. For instance, the innovation of US chocolate flavours is about 3.7 times greater than that of Indian chocolate. We explore the potential for flavour innovation in chocolate confections, looking at the popularity of classic Indian flavours like mithai and the rise of fruity variants. Brands may give classic treats a contemporary spin by infusing chocolates with flavours reminiscent of popular mithai, such as gulab jamun, rasgulla, and jalebi.
