1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 AIM AND OBJECTIVE
In some industries proper maintenance of the controlling system or industrial devices is
crucial to deliver an uninterrupted output. So to reduce the maintenance costs and to
optimize critical monitoring system GSM Based Industrial Automation Technology is
used.
In this project a GSM server is implemented with PSOC mixed signal chip, sensors and
relays. The GSM Modem can provide the necessary data related to industry to a
maintenance officer located anywhere at any time. According to data received officer
will take some action by sending some commands to PSOC chip through mobile unit to
GSM modem. PSOC chip decodes the commands and controls the industrial devices
through relays.
1.2 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The scope includes connecting the different control systems to relays for controlling the
environment. The PSOC microcontroller can be used for implementation of more
complex systems for complex tasks like controlling different systems like nuclear plants
and reactors in the industry. It can also be used in the system where there is a need of
instrumentation, inverting and non inverting amplifiers.
1.3 INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Automation or industrial automation or numerical control is the use of control systems
such as computers to control industrial machinery and processes, reducing the need for
,human intervention. In the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond
mechanization. Whereas mechanization provided human operators with machinery to
assist them with the physical requirements of work, automation greatly reduces the
need for human sensory and mental requirements as well. Processes and systems can
also be automated. Automation plays an increasingly important role in the global
economy and in daily experience. Engineers strive to combine automated devices with
mathematical and organizational tools to create complex systems for a rapidly
expanding range of applications and human activities.
Many roles for humans in industrial processes presently lie beyond the scope of
automation. Human-level pattern recognition, language recognition, and language
production ability are well beyond the capabilities of modern mechanical and computer
systems. Tasks requiring subjective assessment or synthesis of complex sensory data,
such as scents and sounds, as well as high-level tasks such as strategic planning,
currently require human expertise. In many cases, the use of humans is more cost-
effective than mechanical approaches even where automation of industrial tasks is
possible.
Specialized hardened computers, referred to as programmable logic controllers (PLCs),
are frequently used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events
with the flow of outputs to actuators and events. This leads to precisely controlled
actions that permit a tight control of almost any industrial process.
,Human-machine interfaces (HMI) or computer human interfaces (CHI), formerly known
as man-machine interfaces, are usually employed to communicate with PLCs and other
computers, such as entering and monitoring temperatures or pressures for further
automated control or emergency response. Service personnel who monitor and control
these interfaces are often referred to as stationary engineers.
Industrial automation is the process of controlling and guiding the industrial equipment,
i.e. process and systems with less of the human intervention. The operation and control
of the modern industrial equipment and process needs lot of sensors to monitor various
parameters of the systems.
1.3.1 Importance of Automation
Automation can improve productivity and quality. In order to receive these benefits,
educating the workers on the machinery is necessary. Companies must contemplate
their objectives of automating before incorporating any machinery.
As factory automation technology becomes more capable, more functional and
ubiquitous, its meaning and purpose take on many interpretations.
Factory automation delivers increased product and process information, and of
course, improves product quality.
, Technology is used in so many ways and for so many different ends that it is
almost impossible to have a single definition that includes all the solutions factory
automation delivers.
MVI's RPM system, in effect, documents the way a company manages its
people.
Its various data templates can be configured to address management and
executive information needs.
It presents real-time data that will help hem to do something with the information
and make an informed decision.
System monitoring showed that unit costs varied by as much as 50 percent over
the three daily shifts.
Providing proper training to the operators led to increased productivity and a
more consistent unit cost.
Factory automation's capabilities are multi-faceted and provide answers to the
questions asked of it.
They have been forced to change from basic suppliers of parts, components or
equipment to a take position where they help customers realize greater
productivity, quality and a competitive edge from OEM purchases.
Because there are fewer mechanical components, the OEM can deliver the press
at a lower initial cost to the printer or publisher.
While increased productivity is the clarion call for the OEM, end users must
contend with a growing list of factory automation opportunities, a challenge for
implementing successful factory automation.
