Computerized Control of Cement Roof Manufacturing Process Using PLC and SCADA

Abstract

Automation has been playing a very important role in the industries to control the various processes in it. Due to the effect of automation, the errors and manpower are reduced. As a result, the production rate and profit are increased. The cement roof has emerged out as the result of modern roofing concepts in the past. The manufacturing process includes economical loss through the wastage of material in the production and inaccurate in the dimension of the sheets. The modern automation techniques can be implemented in the process to overcome the drawbacks and to get better control. The objective this article is to control the production of cement roof manufacturing processes and reduce the wastage of material. And to ensures the sheets are cut in proper dimensions using proximity sensor and ultrasonic sensors. The process is controlled using PLC and SCADA.
