With the agricultural industry being vital for regional food safety, the extreme conditions under which it operated in Ukraine during the first half of 2022 has offered a unique insight on vulnerabilities of supply chains as well as the necessity of ensuring transport and logistics support for grain supply chain using adaptive methods. During that time frame, existing infrastructure, logistics, and involved materials were at risk of being stolen or by being destroyed due to direct combat damage or resulting fires. Established food transportation routes suffered from blockades, destruction, or congestion. Switching modes of transport for crop grains proved difficult with the absence of required transport and logistics support. The switch to vegetable oil transport proved harder still. Meanwhile, the re-established naval transportation shed a spotlight on GIS instruments that became critical for the safety of regional food supply chain. This inspired the idea of implementing methods of assessing the safety of transport facilities with the direct participation of the user based on geographic information. These methods can be key in enabling new export routes as part of a stable grain supply chain, supporting logistics behind constructing pipelines for transportation of vegetable oils. As the food safety of the world depends on new export routes, ensuring their efficiency and security will always remain relevant.
The authors update the issue disassembly-free control and correction of all components of the error of measuring channels with multi-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The main disadvantages of existing methods for automatic control of the parameters of multi-bit ADCs, in particular their nonlinearity, are identified. Methods for minimizing instrumental errors and errors caused by limited internal resistances of closed switches, input and output resistances of active elements are investigated. The structures of devices for determining the multiplicative and nonlinear components of the error of multi-bit ADCs based on resistive dividers built on single-nominal resistors are proposed and analyzed. The authors propose a method for the correction of additive, multiplicative and nonlinear components of the error at each of the specified points of the conversion range during non-disassembly control of the ADC with both types of inputs. The possibility of non-disassembly control, as well as correction of multiplicative and nonlinear components of the error of multi-bit ADCs in the entire range of conversion during their on-site control is proven. ADC error correction procedures are proposed. These procedures are practically invariant to the non-informative parameters of active structures with resistive dividers composed of single-nominal resistors. In the article the prospects of practical implementation of the method of error correction during non-dismantling control of ADC parameters using the possibilities provided by modern microelectronic components are shown. The ways to minimize errors are proposed and the requirements to the choice of element parameters for the implementation of the proposed technical solutions are given. It is proved that the proposed structure can be used for non-disassembly control of multiplicative and nonlinear components of the error of precision instrumentation amplifiers.
