ABSTRACT : |
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the advantages of Low Cost Industrial Automation such as repeatability, tighter quality control, waste reduction and Integration with business system, increased productivity and Reduction of labor in the small scale sector. The application of Low Cost Automation (LCA), particularly in small scale industries with simple usage of devices like pneumatic, hydraulic actuators with electrical control to the existing conventional methods will make the automation at low cost to yield higher productivity. This paper was taken up with a view to improve the present system of bottle filling, capping & embossing process with low cost. LCA may step by step increase our Technology rather than depending on foreign technology and productivity even in moderate and small factories and Industries.
Keywords: Ladder Network, LCA, Payback Period, PLC, Step-7
