Abstract

The recent trend of automation, Industry 4.0 (I4.0), has enabled industries to become more efficient, flexible, smart, autonomous, reliable, and customizable. This new trend improves and replaces existing semi-automatic processes with fully self-controlled systems through its technologies such as smart sensors, programmable logic controller (PLC) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). Industrial systems or equipment, like a small-scale steam plant, having manual or semi-automatic processes, do not operate effectively as expected due to their actual methods of operation and lack of innovative technologies. Such systems need more attention and monitoring to avoid breakdowns. This research paper aims to demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of a PLC and SCADA-based system using I4.0 technologies through a mini steam plant. This research is essential to support the development of I4.0 systems and provide necessary information about the recent trend of automation. The proposed system has advanced features such as sensors, PLC, SCADA, and private cloud. The research results obtained from the LOGO Soft Comfort V6.1 and Wonderware Indusoft Web Studio 8.1, respectively, a PLC software and SCADA software, confirm that the mini steam can operate automatically and efficiently and can be well monitored.
