INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THE COMPANY
THE BIRTH OF REIL
Rajasthan Electronics & Instruments Ltd. was founded to aid in the upliftment of the
rural masses by empowering them, making them self-reliant and upgrading their living
conditions by taking electronics to the villages.
The birth of cooperative movement in India has its roots in the vision of Dr. Verghese
Kurein, ex-Chairman, NDDB. He realized that the upliftment of marginal dairy farmers
lay in their own hands through cooperative movement at community level.
NDDB, along with Department of Electronics, Govt. of India conceived a project to
introduce Electronic Milk Testers(EMT), for accurate and instant display of fat content in
milk. The technology was arranged in collaboration with a Danish Organization M/s. N
Foss Electric, and thus Rajasthan Electronics & Instruments Limited was born in 1981.
REIL is an ISO 9001 public sector undertaking started as a joint venture between
RIICO(Rajasthan State Industrial Development & Investment Corporation) and
Instrumentation Limited, Kota with 49% and 51% ownership respectively.
Encouraged by the success of the EMT and the willingness of the rural folk to accept
modern technology, REIL initiated a bold step of providing a paradigm shift in
technology by introducing computers at village level. It also made forays into the
Renewable Energy Sector as well as Industrial Electronics and IT and has never looked
back since.
With the advent of Solar Photovoltaic’s technology in the country and looking to its
prospective applications for the rural areas, the company ventured into this segment,
initially to manufacture SPV Modules in 1985. In the field of SPV technology the
company further diversified into the manufacture of Solar Photovoltaic based application
products, sub-systems and integrated systems most of which were developed in-house. In
the SPV segment, the Company manufactures SPV modules and application systems
including Domestic Lighting System, Street Lighting System, Chargeable Power Packs
for the rural, telecom, Railway and Defense sectors.
The company has a strong in-house Govt. recognized Research & Development Division
which has enabled the company to effect considerable improvements in the initial
adopted technologies. Indigenization of the Milk Testing equipment and incorporating the
latest State-of-the-Art microprocessor designs over the initial and older LSI designs has
enabled more features and new add-on equipment has been developed to provide
integrated system solutions. A prestigious collaboration with the Department of
Electronics ( DOE ) in 1990 for the establishment of Rural Electronics Technology
Centre and an award from DOE for Excellence in Electronics in 1991, testify REIL
achievements in the field of Rural Electronics. The Consistency in Excellence is
recognized with repeated award for Excellence in Electronics for the year 2001, given by
the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology.

1. RAW MILK RECEPTION DOCK (RMRD) AUTOMATION
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Raw Milk Reception Dock (RMRD) is the primary point of liquid milk entry in dairies in
India. It is specifically meant for the reception of milk brought in cans, from villages
located over a wide area. It is different from the bulk milk collection system, which are
also in operation in these dairies. The collection process starts from the villages, groups
of which are assigned to distinct Milk Truck Routes. The Milk cans from individual
villages of many such routes are unloaded at the RMRD, after which the milk is weighed
(EWU) & tested (EMT or Milko-Scan) separately to issue a milk receipt statement
(Hardcopy) according to the measured parameters during the daily shift.

APPLICATION- Computerized version of Milk Collection Station with accounting
facility
DESCRIPTION
PC based Milk Collection Station is a specially designed integrated unit, which is a
combination of several units viz; the AZ Electronic Milk Tester, Milk Weighing System
& Personal Computer with 80 column printer. It measures the weight, fat content and
gives the printout of payment slip to the supplier of milk in each shift. The system also
facilitates storing ten days/monthly/yearly data and printing of cumulative summary of
shift as and when needed. This state of art equipment is able to perform120-150 operation
in an hour. The sequence of operation requires pouring of milk in a weighing container,
collection of milk sample at the time of pouring, entering the member's code through
keyboard, measuring of fat content, calculation of payment and printout of slips.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
PCMCS works on the principle of Infrared Spectrophotometer. The infrared energy
produced by a wide range source is filtered through IR filters of specific wavelengths and
focused through the samples under test. This energy passes through the samples and
strikes a detector, which converts it into an corresponding electrical signal. This signal
after amplification and certain corrections is processed by an microprocessor to be
displayed on the LCD panel

MILK DELIVERY TERMINAL
22
DESCRIPTION
The Milk Delivery Terminal (MDT) is a Hand Held Computer, in which the program is
stored along with all the relevant data, for transactions during the journey of Delivery
Van of a Dairy Plant to deliver milk and milk products for sale at the respective outlets,
and book orders for delivery in the shifts on the next day.
The storage of program and data is done through personal Computer (Host PC), and is
called pre-journey configuration, which includes route specific master information. It also
includes master data of products, milk booth agents, and the transaction data such as
agent-wise product dispatch, trays delivered, dispatch of extra shipments etc. The data
pertaining to delivery, payment collection, order booking for the next day is input en-
route. Various reports can be prepared at the end of trip.
After a journey is over, the transaction data files retransferred from MDT to the Host PC,
over communication cable connected to serial communication port. The MDT requires
about three hours for full charging after which it can be used continuously for 7-8 hours..
FEATURES
1. An ideal substitute to the manual system
2. User-access-control and password protection
3. Instant calculation and recording of transactions
4. Print product-delivery reports

CONCLUSION
The summer training of an engineering student place an important role to
develop him as a well groomed professional. it is a golden opportunity for
him to give theoretical concepts in a practical shape in the field of
26
application.
In these 30 days of exposure in “Rajasthan Electronics and Instrumentation
Limited” I learned a lot on various aspects of organizational structure,
departments, latest technologies and their impact. Now after one month I can
say one thing for sure that the best way to learn is at work. It was a really
interesting experience and I enjoyed every part of it and hope that it would
be helpful in my future.
