The universal solution to the automatization of the soft-drink production process is found in the BAS01 Measurement System which not only analyzes the product on the line, but also performs automatic control, recording, remote control, data collection and processing functions. 
The IB01 analysis system includes:
- IB01 analysis unit
- Brix controller (field)
- CO₂ controller (field)
- Recorder or printer for data collection (field)
- Remote display
- Remote control and MULTILAB III
- Data acquisition

IB01 Analysis Unit
The IB01 Analysis Unit includes:
A) UR12 Refractometric Analyzer
B) UCA2 Carbometric Analyzer
C) sealed, stainless steel control panel
D) circulating pump
E) hydraulic circuit (piping)
All components are interconnected and mounted on a self-supporting stainless steel frame. The hydraulic circuit has quick-coupling tri-clamps. The unit is designed to detect sugar or sweetener concentration levels and CO₂ content of the product being analyzed, alert the operator and transmit the relevant data to the remote control or data acquisition systems.

Brix Controller
The Brix control is customized for the type of soft drink production plant in which it is installed. Normally, two different systems may be used:
a) Dosing using dosing pumps
b) Orifice regulation
In the first case, the controller drives a motor and regulates the position of the dosing pump head; in the second it controls the position of the flow regulation valves. The Brix controller can receive the parameters of the soft drink to be produced from either the IB-01 analysis unit or the remote MULTILAB control unit located in the laboratory, always with the 40 programmable recipes system.

CO₂ Controller
The CO₂ controller can be made in two different systems:
a) injection CO₂ controller
b) saturation CO₂ controller
In the first case, a flow transmitter measures CO₂ flow rate in the feed pipe and the controller keeps this constant using an electro-pneumatic translator that drives a pressure reducer. In the second, a pressure sensor located on the product tank detects CO₂ pressure and the controller keeps this constant driving an electro-pneumatic translator that controls the pressure reducer. In both systems, the controller flow rate or pressure setpoint value is "cascade" modified by the IB01 that reads the CO₂ value of the finished product.

Recorder or Printer
In order to collect the data read by the analysis units, either a continuous-form analog recorder or serial printer can be installed in the field. The printer, driven by dedicated software, print out the results in graphic and numeric form.

Remote Display
To complete the BAS01 System, a display that shows the Brix and CO₂ degree values as well as the alarm status is available. The remote display is useful when the measuring devices are located in positions not visible to the operator.

Remote Control and MULTILAB III data acquisition software
The production line can be run from the laboratory using the MULTILAB III remote control unit which, thanks to a two-way serial connection with the IB04 unit, functions as a remote terminal in the lab, allowing to monitor and modify all functions. The system can communicate with 8 different units located on various lines. The MULTILAB III data acquisition section displays production data in graphic form, gives current values and alarm status for each line and creates job reports that can be printed out and consulted at a later date using the standard programs in the MULTILAB III or specific customer software.
