Automation can help substantially reduce human error problems in palm oil mill operations which can improve the reliability of the current manual sampling process which because it is not representative can result in incorrect process management decisions.

Automation technology can be used in CPO storage tanks so that mill operators can know the volume of CPO inside accurately and can also be used in temperature control to prevent the oil from freezing or overheating. In addition, the automation system can help measure the water and oil levels in the CST (Clarifier Settling Tank).
