Research and identify suitable hardware$($HW$)$ and software$($SW$)$ to capture, store & display data from the pet food production process given $$ see appendix A for more details.

Your investigation should address the HW & SW items based on the physical parameters or measurands. This should be technical so you need to use device data from original equipment manufacturers $($OEM$)$ websites or catalogues.

Develop a conceptual system block diagram from the information given in appendix A for the food

production system and give a description of how each of the elements fits within your system such as:

$$ Sensors & transducers

$$ Hardware & software required to capture data

$$ Data interfaces e$.$g$.$ ADC & DAC

$$ Signal conditioning e$.$g$.$ amplification & attenuation

$$ Signal Processing e$.$g$.$ filtering & equalisation

$$ Multiplexing & De$-$multiplexing

$$ CPU and I$/$O devices
