Increasing efficiency in the agricultural sector has become an unavoidable requirement to reduce costs and improve product quality. Automating fertilizer and seed filling lines minimizes error margins at every step of the production process.
Use Case: Mid‑Scale Fertilizer‑Seed Filling Plant
A farm located in Western Anatolia, with an annual capacity of 5,000 tons, decided to replace its traditional manual filling operations with an automated line. The facility features two main lines: one for granular fertilizer filling and another for seed packaging. Both lines share the same core automation architecture.
Key Components and Control Strategy
The line is equipped with high‑speed conveyors, servo‑driven dosing machines, and vision systems. A Siemens S7‑1500 PLC monitors all equipment in real time, while a SCADA interface provides operators with live data and alarm management. RFID tags on the products enable automatic batch tracking during the process.
Benefits of Automation
- Dosing accuracy improved to ±0.2%.
- Operation time reduced by 35%.
- Energy consumption lowered by 20%.
- Worker safety enhanced; hazardous chemical exposure minimized.
