Initial Design Schematic
An initial design for the PLC syustem is suggested below.
Main drawbacks to this design are the expenses of multiple I/O components and the need for a more advanced computing system for graphical data output. Additional I/O must be selected to incorporate load cells and humidity reader to the PLC system.
A manual dehumidifier is listed to save cost using what already exists in the brewery.

Updated Code
Updated Code
Updated code is now embedded with the option to start a run and select an example temperature curve to follow. Future work includes writing a program to start the data collection (need system for this), Humidity collection and change over time (also requires hardware), and finding the actual temperature curves to program. A screenshot of the data collection screen is provided as well. If you would like to test the program, upload this csv to this website after clicking start run.

Screenshot of main dashboard after a few iterations of simulated data. Shows the wet and dry bulb temperatures added, different spacing, added company logo, and home screen.
Exploded view of the temperature chart. Toggled off several inputs to reduce clutter. This gives a more clear view of each probe over time to illustrate hot and cold spots when implemented.

Updated Code
This embedded code live updates as further iterations occur on Github. This iteration includes a simulated collection of temperatures, humidity, and fan toggling with options to look at charts on their own through HTML Modals by clicking on the graph. Also includes the wet bulb temperature listed as calculated from the humidity and dry bulb temperature.

Koji Batch Data
Koji Batch Data
This table shows all the data taken by hand in the brewery. It is representative of current batches.
Below is a realized graph formatted in Excel to show the temperature, humidity, and wet bulb temperature of the rice throughout the process. The ambient logger was placed against a wall, in the center above the height of the table.
The graph below represents four different probes, with the probe 3 and 4 in the center of the table, and probe 5 and 6 near the entrance of the room. Probe 1 and 2 lost the data from collection. In addition, probe 3 and 4 did not capture all of the process.
Two presented graphs are on the same time scale as the environmental probe. While they are missing much of the data, the trend of seeing a hotter side on the koji table presents the opportunity to target airflow and have more careful tracking across the table.
