INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE COMPANY THE BIRTH OF REIL

Rajasthan Electronics & Instruments Ltd. was founded to aid in the upliftment of the rural masses by empowering them, making them self-reliant and upgrading their living conditions by taking electronics to the villages. The birth of cooperative movement in India has its roots in the vision of Dr. Verghese Kurein, ex-Chairman, NDDB. He realized that the upliftment of marginal dairy farmers lay in their own hands through cooperative movement at community level. NDDB, along with Department of Electronics, Govt. of India conceived a project to introduce Electronic Milk Testers(EMT), for accurate and instant display of fat content in milk. The technology was arranged in collaboration with a Danish Organization M/s. N Foss Electric, and thus Rajasthan Electronics & Instruments Limited was born in 1981.

REIL is an ISO 9001 public sector undertaking started as a joint venture between RIICO(Rajasthan State Industrial Development & Investment Corporation) and Instrumentation Limited, Kota with 49% and 51% ownership respectively. Encouraged by the success of the EMT and the willingness of the rural folk to accept modern technology, REIL initiated a bold step of providing a paradigm shift in technology

by introducing computers at village level. It also made forays into the Renewable Energy Sector as well as Industrial Electronics and IT and has never looked back since. With the advent of Solar Photovoltaics technology in the country and looking to its prospective applications for the rural areas, the company ventured into this segment, initially to manufacture SPV Modules in 1985. In the field of SPV technology the company further diversified into the manufacture of Solar Photovoltaic based application products, sub-systems and integrated systems most of which were developed in-house. In the SPV segment, the Company manufactures SPV modules and application systems including Domestic Lighting System, Street Lighting System, Chargeable Power Packs for the rural, telecom, Railway and Defense sectors. The company has a strong in-house Govt. recognized Research & Development Division which has enabled the company to effect considerable improvements in the initial adopted technologies. Indigenization of the Milk Testing equipment and incorporating the latest State-of-the-Art microprocessor designs over the initial and older LSI designs has enabled more features and new add-on equipment has been developed to provide integrated system solutions. A prestigious collaboration with the Department of Electronics ( DOE ) in 1990 for the establishment of Rural Electronics Technology Centre and an award from DOE for Excellence in Electronics in 1991, testify REIL achievements in the field of Rural Electronics. The Consistency in Excellence is recognized with repeated award for Excellence in Electronics for the year 2001, given by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology.

1. RAW MILK RECEPTION DOCK (RMRD) AUTOMATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Raw Milk Reception Dock (RMRD) is the primary point of liquid milk entry in dairies in India. It is specifically meant for the reception of milk brought in cans, from villages located over a wide area. It is different from the bulk milk collection system, which are also in operation in these dairies. The collection process starts from the villages, groups of which are assigned to distinct Milk Truck Routes. The Milk cans from individual villages of many such routes are unloaded at the RMRD, after which the milk is weighed (EWU) & tested (EMT or Milko-Scan) separately to issue a milk receipt statement (Hardcopy) according to the measured parameters during the daily shift.

DESCRIPTION
PC based Milk Collection Station is a specially designed integrated unit, which is a combination of several units viz; the AZ Electronic Milk Tester, Milk Weighing System & Personal Computer with 80 column printer. It measures the weight, fat content and gives the printout of payment slip to the supplier of milk in each shift. The system also facilitates storing ten days/monthly/yearly data and printing of cumulative summary of shift as and when needed. This state of art equipment is able to perform120-150 operation in an hour. The sequence of operation requires pouring of milk in a weighing container, collection of milk sample at the time of pouring, entering the member's code through keyboard, measuring of fat content, calculation of payment and printout of slips.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
PCMCS works on the principle of Infrared Spectrophotometer. The infrared energy produced by a wide range source is filtered through IR filters of specific wavelengths and focused through the samples under test. This energy passes through the samples and strikes a detector, which converts it into an corresponding electrical signal. This signal after amplification and certain corrections is processed by an microprocessor to be displayed on the LCD panel

MILK DELIVERY TERMINAL

DESCRIPTION

The Milk Delivery Terminal (MDT) is a Hand Held Computer, in which the program is stored along with all the relevant data, for transactions during the journey of Delivery Van of a Dairy Plant to deliver milk and milk products for sale at the respective outlets, and book orders for delivery in the shifts on the next day. The storage of program and data is done through personal Computer (Host PC), and is called pre-journey configuration, which includes route specific master information. It also includes master data of products, milk booth agents, and the transaction data such as agentwise product dispatch, trays delivered, dispatch of extra shipments etc. The data pertaining to delivery, payment collection, order booking for the next day is input en-route. Various reports can be prepared at the end of trip. After a journey is over, the transaction data files retransferred from MDT to the Host PC, over communication cable connected to serial communication port. The MDT requires about three hours for full charging after which it can be used continuously for 7-8 hours.. 23

CONCLUSION
The summer training of an engineering student place an important role to develop him as a well groomed professional. it is a golden opportunity for him to give theoretical concepts in a practical shape in the field of application. In these 30 days of exposure in Rajasthan Electronics and Instrumentation Limited I learned a lot on various aspects of organizational structure, departments, latest technologies and their impact. Now after one month I can say one thing for sure that the best way to learn is at work. It was a really interesting experience and I enjoyed every part of it and hope that it would be helpful in my future.
