Control System Validation: Key to Automated Food Processing
To maximize the benefit of modern computerized automation, food companies must adopt and properly execute a validation protocol for their digital control systems
Over the past decade, food manufacturers have increasingly adopted computer-based systems for process control. This is primarily due to data accessibility, application flexibility, and low cost provided by microprocessor technology. However, microprocessor-based control systems are more complex than the mechanical and pneumatic devices they replace and require a thorough validation to ensure adequate reliability.
Control system validation is a set of measures to ensure that a new or reengineered …
