The GOcontroll platform can serve as a reliable coffee roasting controller, providing consistency, fine control, and repeatable flavor results.

Roasting coffee is both an art and a science. Achieving the perfect flavor balance requires careful control of temperature, airflow, and timing. The GOcontroll platform can serve as a reliable coffee roasting controller, providing consistency, fine control, and repeatable flavor results. Built on the modular Moduline platform, it gives roasters—from small-batch artisans to industrial producers—fine-tuned control for repeatable, high-quality results.

Every batch of coffee beans reacts differently to heat, humidity, and air circulation. Traditional roasting often depends on the operator’s experience and intuition. While that skill remains valuable, modern control systems make it easier to reach consistent results.

A dedicated coffee roasting control setup can manage:

• Drum temperature for precise heat transfer.

• Airflow control for even roasting and cooling.

• Motor speed for steady bean agitation.

• Profile tracking for data-based adjustments.

By integrating sensors and feedback loops, each roast follows a carefully defined temperature curve—so the flavor stays predictable, no matter the batch size.

The GOcontroll Moduline Mini and Moduline IV controllers form the foundation of a reliable and flexible roasting setup. They combine industrial performance with modular design, allowing users to tailor hardware and software to their specific roasting environment.

Key advantages include:

• Multiple I/O modules for temperature, airflow, and motor sensors.

• Fast data processing for responsive control loops.

• MATLAB Simulink support for custom roast curve algorithms.

• Node-RED integration for intuitive visualization and real-time adjustments.

With these tools, a roasting profile can be developed, executed, and refined—all within the same control ecosystem.

Modern roasting control depends on accurate data. GOcontroll’s modular design makes it easy to integrate a range of sensors, such as:

• Temperature sensors to measure bean and exhaust temperature.

• Airflow sensors to regulate roasting intensity.

• Pressure sensors for monitoring gas flow.

• Rotational feedback sensors for drum speed control.

Each signal is processed in real time, allowing the controller to react instantly—keeping the roasting curve on track and preventing over- or under-roasting.

Using Node-RED dashboards, operators can view and fine-tune roasting parameters in real time. Data appears as live graphs or is stored for later analysis, allowing roasters to compare and refine profiles.

Example capabilities include:

• Starting and stopping roast cycles automatically.

• Recording and reusing roast profiles for consistency.

• Adjusting heat and airflow mid-process.

• Analyzing trends to optimize future batches.

This level of visibility gives every roaster—novice or expert—the confidence to replicate the ideal roast, every time.

Roasting environments can be hot, dusty, and demanding. The Moduline series controllers are built to perform in such conditions. Their IP67 equivalent rated aluminium housing protects against heat and debris, while the automotive IO connectors offer a robust and reliable connection, making maintenance simple and secure.

That level of protection ensures long-term reliability, even when installed near roasting drums or ventilation systems.

The coffee roasting control capabilities made possible with GOcontroll bridge the gap between craftsmanship and engineering precision. By combining modular hardware with adaptable software, roasters gain both creative flexibility and data-driven reliability.

Whether it’s for a specialty coffee lab, a production facility, or a research application, the GOcontroll platform gives users the ability to maintain flavor consistency and process efficiency—batch after batch.

With GOcontroll, you bring engineering precision to the art of coffee roasting.
