The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is widely used in industries to control a mechanical movement for an efficient production. The paper presents modelling of PLC based system to automate material handling process in industries. In the proposed system the packages are sorted out with the help of scanners and stamp it if the package is correct and then stack it. The simulation studies of the modelled system for various sections such as filling, sorting, packaging, stamping and loading are also presented in the paper. It is found that the developed system may substitute the human labour involved and thus reduce the time consumption and human errors in handling of materials in industries. The stamping and sorting is done with the help of human labour in most of the industries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
