I have a customer with a tank farm in which each of the 50 or so tanks has a pipe that connects to a manifold in a blend room. In the blend room, there are 8 hoses, each of which can be connected to any of the pipes.
The customer would like to have a verification system that would involve a PLC. For example it could verify that hose 6 was connected to pipe 38. The only two ideas I have are a complex system of numerous proxes or an RFID system (an area in which I have little knowledge). Does anyone have any suggestions or insight for this type of application?
