Abstract:
This paper proposes an idea about automation of Food Processing plant using the PLC & SCADA . In this plant Chocolate & Strawberry milkshake are prepared with the help of raw materials. The objective of this project is to convert the manual project into fully automated plant for achieving higher accuracy & high hygine, and to save time and raw material. Automated plant also helps to increase the quality of product. The system uses intelligent equipments on site which deliver physical parameters (Analog/Digital) to PLC & SCADA for easy monitoring of plant.
Automation is not a newer concept. Automation is the use of machines, control systems and information technologies to optimize productivity in the production of goods and delivery of services. A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC is a digital computer used for automation of electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or light fixtures. Simplification of engineering and precise control of manufacturing process can result in significant cost savings.
