11. AUTORATION 3.0 Why ?
TO FACILITATE THE INVOLVEMENT OF
NUTRITIONISTS THROUGH ACCESS /EXCHANGE OF
DATA
12. SPECIFICATIONS
THE AUTORATION 3.0 CAN MANAGE:
• 14 INGREDIENTS (PLUS WATER)
• ALL INVENTORIES
• 20 GROUPS UNLOADING
WHAT YOU SHOULD
• THE FREE FLOW CALCULATION KNOW !
• THE WEIGHING MODE (WEIGHT / VOLUME)
• RECIPES IN LBS/KG/COW
• MIXER JOG CYCLING OR CONTINUOUS

• ETC…
13. IN PRACTICE …
PRESENTED BY MR. ALEXANDRE BELAND, ELECTRICAL ENGINEER JR. (A-TECH), CREATOR AND
DEVELOPER OF THE AUTORATION 3.0 SYSTEM...
14. AUTORATION 3.0
• THE SEQUENCES OF LOADING AND UNLOADING ARE FULLY
BUILT ON A PERSONAL COMPUTER USING
WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM.
• SIMPLY ENTER YOUR INGREDIENTS, YOUR RECIPES
AND UNLOADING GROUPS IN THE TMR TRACKER
SOFTWARE FROM DIGI-STAR.
• A WIRELESS MODULE (RF DATALINK) OR USB STICK IS
USED TO TRANSFER THE DATA TO THE EZ3600
INDICATOR.
15. AUTORATION 3.0
• DURING FEEDING, THE ACTUAL WEIGHTS OF INGREDIENTS LOADED AND UNLOADED IN EACH GROUP ARE
RECORDED AND RETURNED TO THE SOFTWARE USING THE WIRELESS MODULE OR MEMORY STICK.
• TMR TRACKER GENERATES VARIOUS DETAILED REPORTS, CHARTS AND GRAPHS.
16. AUTORATION 3.0 (INGREDIENTS)
• THE SYSTEM SUPPORTS UP TO 14 INGREDIENTS + WATER. IT MANAGES THE PERCENTAGE OF DRY
MATTER, PRICE AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT OF EACH INGREDIENT.
17. AUTORATION 3.0 (RECIPES)
• THE RECIPES ARE BUILT IN LBS /KG/ COW OR IN PERCENTAGE.
• YOU CAN ADD A MIXING TIME OR A PAUSE AT THE END OF ANY INGREDIENT IN THE RECIPE
• THE DRY MATTER % IS CORRECTED AUTOMATICALLY IN ALL RECIPES.
18. AUTORATION 3.0 (GROUPS)
• THE SYSTEM SUPPORTS UP TO 20 GROUPS
OF UNLOADS.
• NEED TO SPECIFY THE NUMBER OF COWS.
• EACH GROUP INDICATES WHAT IS THE RECIPE
THAT MUST BE UNLOADED IN THE MORNING AND
EVENING.
• THE RECIPE IS AUTOMATICALLY CALCULATED WITH THE
NUMBER OF HEAD IN ASSOCIATED GROUPS.
• THE PERCENTAGE OF EACH BATCH CAN BE CHANGED
IN EACH GROUP. (EX: FEED IN MORNING AT 90% AND
IN EVENING AT 110%)
• A GROUP OF UNLOADING CAN NOT EXCEED WEIGHT TO
UNLOAD MORE THAN 3,200 KG
19. AUTORATION 3.0 (GROUPS)
BEFORE TRANSFERRING FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE
WEIGHING SYSTEM, IT IS POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE
ORDER OF RATION SEQUENCES FOR MORNING
AND EVENING.
20. AUTORATION 3.0 AND MORE …
• THE SOFTWARE CAN PROVIDE DETAILED REPORTS, CHARTS OR GRAPHS:
• LIVE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT TO HAVE A CONTINUOUS OVERVIEW AND TO
PLACE ORDERS ON TIME.
• IT FACILITATES DATA EXCHANGE WITH
THE NUTRITIONIST, NUTRITION COUNSELOR, ETC..
• IT CREATES REPORTS AND GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS ABOUT :
• CONSUMPTION OF INGREDIENTS,
• THE INGESTION OF DRY MATTER,
• AND MUCH MORE…
22. AUTORATION 3.0
• ABILITY FOR USERS TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT REMOTELY TO THEIR COMPUTER TO CHANGE THEIR RECIPES OR
UNLOADING USING THE “FREE APPLICATION”* TEAMVIEWER.
• THE APPLICATION TEAMVIEWER IS “FREE”* AND AVAILABLE FOR IPADS, IPHONES, ANDROIDS,
SMARTPHONES AND PLATFORMS WINDOWS, MAC AND LINUX.
* Some exclusions apply for « commercial » use – See costs
23. AUTORATION 3.0
• THE ”INSTRUCTION FEEDING” IS RECORDED IN THE INDICATOR EZ3600.
• TO AUTOMATE THE FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS, THE INDICATOR AT ANY TIME COMMUNICATES WITH A
PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC).
• THE PLC STORES THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO ACTIVATE THE MOTORS FOR THE DIFFERENT STEPS OF EACH
RECIPE.
• TO MAKE THE SYSTEM MORE USER-FRIENDLY, IT USES A MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI) 7” COLOR.
24. AUTORATION 3.0
• THE START SEQUENCE OF MORNING AND
EVENING ARE DIRECTLY ON THE HMI.
• WHEN A SEQUENCE IS ACTIVATED, ALL RECIPES AND
UNLOADING INCLUDED IN IT WILL BE ACTIVATED
AUTOMATICALLY.
• WHEN A RECIPE IS IN PROCESS, IT IS POSSIBLE
TO MAKE A PAUSE IN THE INGREDIENT IN PROCESS,
TRANSFER TO THE NEXT INGREDIENT OR GO TO THE
NEXT RECIPE.
25. AUTORATION 3.0 (INGREDIENTS HMI)
• EACH INGREDIENT HAS ITS OWN FREE-FLOW WHICH IS
CALCULATED AUTOMATICALLY TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF
THE LOAD.
• THE SYSTEM MONITORS THE VOLUMETRIC FLOW RATE OF
THE INGREDIENT IN PROGRESS
• THE USER CAN ENABLE CONTINUOUSLY OR ALTERNATELY THE
MIXER DURING LOADING OF THE INGREDIENT
• THE USER CAN ACTIVATE THE INGREDIENT IN VOLUMETRIC
MODE. IF THE REQUESTED AMOUNT OF WEIGHT FOR A
SPECIFIC INGREDIENT IS LESS THAN THE FREE FLOW, THE
VOLUMETRIC MODE IS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED
26. AUTORATION 3.0 (INGREDIENTS HMI)
• EACH INGREDIENT IS CONNECTED TO A SEQUENCE FOR
THE TRANSPORT OF THE INGREDIENT TO THE MIXER.
• THESE STEPS INCLUDE DIFFERENT OPTIONS SUCH AS
ROTATION PROBES AND TIME DELAY OF ALL KIND.
• THE SYSTEM CAN CONTROL SEVERAL MACHINES SUCH
AS CONVEYORS, SILO UNLOADERS, HARVESTORE
UNLOADERS, AUGERS, DOORS, ETC.
27. AUTORATION 3.0 (GROUPS HMI)
• EACH GROUP HAS ITS OWN FREE-FLOW WHICH IS
CALCULATED AUTOMATICALLY TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF
EACH DISCHARGE
• UNLOADS CAN BE MADE TO A FEEDCART OR TO A DAF
• EACH GROUP HAS ITS OWN PROGRAMMABLE MIXER DOOR
OPENING TIME.
• THE SYSTEM ALLOWS THE ACTIVATION OF AN OVER-SPEED OF
THE MIXER TO FACILITATE THE LAST UNLOADING WHEN THE
TOTAL AMOUNT REMAINING IN THE MIXER IS SMALLER THAN
A PREDETERMINED VALUE SET BY THE CUSTOMER.
(APPLICATION ONLY AVAILABLE WITH VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE)
28. AUTORATION 3.0
• THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS A MAXIMUM OF 14 INGREDIENTS (PLUS WATER) AND 20
GROUPS OF UNLOADING.
• ALLOWS PROGRAMING OF RECIPES AND UNLOADING DIRECTLY FROM A PC.
• EASILY TRANSFER THE FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE INDICATOR EZ3600 USING A
MEMORY STICK OR A WIRELESS MODULE.
• FACILITATES THE MONITORING OF THE HERD FEEDING WITH ACCESS TO REPORTS AND
GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS ABOUT THE CONSUMPTION OF INGREDIENTS, THE INGESTION OF
DRY MATTER, THE EFFICACY OF NUTRITION, MANAGES INVENTORIES AND MUCH MORE
...
• ALLOWS REMOTE ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER TO EDIT OR ANALYZE THE FEEDING
INSTRUCTIONS .
• ALLOWS GREATER PRECISION LOADING OF EACH INGREDIENT AND DURING UNLOADING
OF EACH GROUP.
29. CONCLUSION
ON AVERAGE, THE "AUTORATION 3.0“ SYSTEM, AS IT WAS DESIGNED, VALUED AT $ 5,000 LESS
THAN THE TRADITIONAL "V + AUTORATION".
THIS REPRESENTS CONSIDERABLE SAVINGS FOR MANY FARMERS IN TERMS OF COST.
IT ALLOWS US TO REACH MORE DIVERSIFIED CUSTOMERS AND OFFER A MORE PERSONALIZED
AUTORATION CORRESPONDING TO OUR CUSTOMERS NEEDS !
Example of pay Back of the Autoration 3.0
Time saved for batching : 2 hours per days x $15.00 = $30 x 365= $10,950.00
Total investment : $19,000.00
If we finance it with ValMetal program for five Years
Capital and interest: $345.75 per month x 60= $20745.00 divided by $10,950.00= 1.89 Years
