Abstract

This paper presents an integrated solution for olive oil tank farm management and optimum oil blending that has been designed specifically for the olive oil sector. The working scenarios are analyzed to define functional requirements and procedures for an integrated industrial automation solution, tailored to be used in a traditional sector that in most cases lacks the technological background and expertise to operate and support complex automation systems. The system makes an intelligent and cost effective integration of hardware and software components into a distributed architecture, thus ensuring maximum reliability. It allows olive oil enterprises to exploit their oil stock in an optimum way, ensuring constant quality, cost and total execution time optimization, quick response to the needs of each customer and safety through traceability, taking into consideration the requirements of all relevant EU regulations like (EC) 1989/2003 or 702/2007. The cost and total execution time optimization problem is solved by successive use of Linear Programming and Graph Search optimization.
