Productivity Improvement in Small Scale Industries through the Application of PLC Technology A Case Study
Automation has become a prime contributor when productivity of an Industry is concerned. This paper tells about the Programmable Logic Controllers and their applications in Industries to reduce the wastage of resources. In this paper the perspective of small and medium scale industries about incorporating new technologies to their industrial processes is discussed. What they think of technology is extra burden that requires more handling which they cannot afford. What they are not aware is that most of it includes a onetime cost only.
