Abstract

The main objective of the project is to monitor and control the components that are being carried over the belt conveyers using PLC, SCADA and Android Mobile Application. The conveyer is controlled through the PLC programming for its control processes. SCADA and MOBILE APPLICATION are used to monitor the completed component that is passed through the conveyer at any specified time. Power reduction and energy utilization is minimized using Efficient PLC Programming. The entire process is Monitored and Controlled remotely using SCADA. The Report generation for the Conveyer process is programmed in SCADA like Conveyer Cycle time, Conveyer Idle Time and these data can be automatically saved in the Excel Data format (Data Logging Process). The whole process can be controlled using the Android mobile application in which the conveyer is controlled wireless in a Particular region of the Industry. The controllable range of the conveyor using the mobile application can also be extended to a wide range (apart from the industry premises) using multiple LAN connections. Where older automated conveyor systems would use in PLC and SCADA.
