The Sweet Apps crew just got wind of this incredible user application from one of our branches. Promethean Power Systems has built a solar-powered refridgeration system to help farmers in off-grid and partially-powered areas of developing countries. Take India, for instance, the world's largest producer of milk.
Remote villages do not have freezers to store milk properly. Add to that the tropical weather India experiences almost year-round and you get a recipe for spoiled milk. Either you cart these barrels of fresh milk to a more urban area, two or three times a day, or a large portion of the produced milk goes to waste. Expensive diesel-powered generators are simply not an option for the majority of milk producers in these rural areas.
Promethan Power Systems has tackled this challenge, using LabVIEW and CompactRIO to create a refridgeration system that harnesses solar power to store and preserve milk.
And since the solution uses NI technologies, we got a special, insider look at their cutting edge solution.
