Automation of DMPS Manufacturing by using LabView & PLC

Abstract

<p>This Paper is to enable the Siemens (Programmable Logic Control) CPU 313-5A to communicate with the Lab VIEW and to control the process accuracy by image processing. The communication between CPU 313-5A and Lab VIEW is via OPC (OLE for Process Control).Process Accuracy is achieved with the use of Labview Image Processing and Gray Scale matching Pattern. Accuracy in the gray scale matching will purely depend on the calibration of the camera with respect to the corresponding image. The digital output from the labview is communicated to PLC via Ethernet Protocol for the industrial process control. With the use of Labview the dead time while using the normal image vision module in PLC can be minimized. Labview uses the gray scale matching technique which is more accurate than the normal image vision module used in PLC.</p>

Automatic control of the sand granulation process to improve homogeneity in the manufacture of ceramic tiles

“…In this regard, it is pointed out that in Peru, to cite one case, there are few companies dedicated to the production process of ceramic tiles that have technological tools that allow them to ensure the quality of their products [35]. Thus, the companies dedicated to the production of ceramic tiles have a great challenge, which is focused on using automated systems based on process control strategies [36], the purpose of incorporating control technology is to achieve optimally dose the inputs used in order to avoid production reduction and improve the quality of the final product [37].…”

Automating the mixing and spraying stage of the instant mashed potato process

“…The current problem for many companies that are part of the food industries is that many of these are not prepared to face the continuous innovation that global competitiveness requires [1]. The input transport process and its dosage in the food production process are often supervised by an operator [2]; this leads the operator to be more attentive to machine jams than to the quality of the final product [3].…”
