Internship Report Adrian urcanu Third Consortium Meeting

 Economic entity: “M-CONSULITNG” SRL  Foundation year: 2011  Field of activity: street trade, import, retail, est. 2 GENERAL CARACTERISTICS OF THE COMPANY

 To familiarize with the type of activity of the company.  To apply the knowledge obtained during the process of study.  To study the fazes of the production process.  To research the equipment components involved in the production process.  To outline the problems of the production process appeared during the economic activity.  To help resolve the problems identified within the activity of the enterprise.  To develop projects for improving the production process.  To gain the materials for thesis elaboration. 3 PLANED TASKS

 Studied the specifics of the production process of coffee beverages developed within the economic entity.  Researched the components and characteristics of the equipment used in the coffee industry.  Determined the technical parameters of the production process.  Monitored of the development of the production process.  The engineering problems have been outlined: maintenance the necessity adjustment of the coffee fraction and the stability of the heating systems, design of the photovoltaic power system for a mobile selling station.  Service and adjustment of the equipment of the production process was carried out.  The statistical process control was used to establish the factors influencing the quality of coffee beverages.  Maintained optimum parameter adjustment of the equipment involved in the production process. 4 OBJECTIVES ACHIEVED

 The technical equipment have different levels of sophistication and operation principles.  The production process of the coffee beverages developed in interior differs from the similar process out in the street.  Two main factors have an impact over the quality of the final product which are: the fraction of the ground coffee, and characteristics of the heating systems.  The air humidity influences the fraction of the ground coffee, while the air temperature – the heating system stability.  The adjustment of the equipment has to be done periodically, depending of the weather conditions or the seasons.  The statistical analysis of the production process ensured the determination of the numerical correlation between the mentioned factors and the environment.  There is a necessity in a photovoltaic system for powering the mobile selling station that would work more than 9 months 5 OBSERVATIONS

 The continuance adjustment of the parameters of the production process is recommended  In order to maintain consistent quality of espresso coffee, it is considered appropriate implementation of innovative process control technologies that would ensure maintaining the optimal parameter in automated mode.  In this respect the usage of SCADA process control system is considered necessary.  An automated adjustment system of the coffee grinder would ensure the required extraction flow rate while maintaining the required parameter of the heating system.  It is considered important the usage of the SCADA system in the process of monitoring the consumption of raw material.  A photovoltaic system would allow an autonomous functioning of the mobile station without the grid line electricity. 6 RECOMMENDATIONS
