Σύνοψη

The automation offered by Programmable Controllers in the modem industrial world is the subject matter of this project. It aims in a general overview of PLCs -and their superiority over previous control systems. Furthermore, it penetrates into its functions and capabilities.
The subject of study, is the automated filling and capping line used widely in modern applications in industry. This procedure has so far been supplied with many solutions and many models of automated lines are now serving the industry successfully.
The need for progress, however, requires new methods and innovations in order to survive in the demanding and competitive industrial world.
The objectives set for this study are the enhancement of previously supplied solutions to improve them in the fields of safety, speed and productivity. Furthermore, it targets in the reduction of cost and elimination of the faults occurring or liable to occur in such systems.
Finally, the reduction of production time and human interference achieved, as well as fast recovery from any fault conditions will increase the safety of the machinery and personnel and will also increase the profit, which is undoubtedly the ultimate goal of any corporation.
The main conclusions drawn, were the ability of Programmable Controllers to adopt to any industrial environment and replace all other types of automation control. Their flexibility, the ease of programming and cost effectiveness provide them with the edge to dominate in any field of industrial automation.
Hopefully, a step forward in the world of automation has been made with this study and the solutions offered will be found useful as a future industrial application.
