Our Projects

We've worked with them all, from highly automated enterprises that use unique machinery in their manufacturing processes to companies who are just getting started with automation and need step-by-step instructions. Our over 5 years of experience in consulting, concepting, prototyping, design, and integration enables us to bring the talent and resources required to develop a modern solution that best matches your objectives, no matter where your firm is on the automation spectrum. Some of out projects are as follows;

Autonomous Shopping System

Feb 2017 - Jan 2018

Automation has played a significant role in the betterment of engineering and science. This project is mainly based on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for automation purpose. The motivation behind the development of automatic shopping system is to save the time of customers. It will reduce the labour hired by shop owner to manage his store. Customers will place their order through HMI (Human Machine Interface). It will communicate with PLC. PLC will sort the required items according to the weight based algorithm and it will generate an output signal to pusher to hit maximum priority item to conveyer belt. The conveyor belt will deliver the required items to the customer. The biggest assistance of automation is that it will conserve labour, time, energy and improves accuracy and precision.

Machine and Motors RPM

Jul 2019 - Aug 2019

Calculated the RPMs of different Motors and converted them to meters/min using counters and pulses of encoder in PLC and integrated with HMI.
Done the same task with Proximity Sensors.

Guard Filter Cards and Punching Machine Automation

Jun 2019 - Oct 2019

Task was to upgrade three machines including 2 Cards and 1 Punching machine from relay Logic system to PLC by installing VFD's for the AC Motors and control the speed of motors from HMI. The current speed of the motors and machine was also displayed on the HMI.

The Project was successfully completed and all the machines are working fine.

Grain Mixing

Oct 2021 - Nov 2021

Problem Statement

Grains from five different hopper need to transfer in a mixer through conveyors and then after mixing, mixture need to unload.
Before pressing start button the emergency switch (normally close) should be off and all the hoppers’ gates should be closed. Closure of gates may be detected by sensor.
After pressing start button a horn should run for 10s and then each hopper should drop specific weight on the under-hopper conveyor and then should close. Weight should be measured by weight sensor.
Under-hopper conveyor and transfer conveyor should be started immediately when hopper start dropping grains.
When all the hoppers complete dropping and grains are transferred into mixer, under-hopper conveyor and transfer conveyor should stop and mixer should run, in forward direction, for specific time given from HMI.
After completion of mixing mixer should stop and then should run in reverse direction, until mixture gets empty, to unload the mixture. Unload conveyor and long transfer conveyor should also run along mixer reverse running.
Process should wait for the start to repeat the cycle.
HMI layout should be designed for all the inputs and outputs.

Equipment Used

Load cells
Proximity sensors
Horn
Level sensors

Automated Car Parking System

Dec 2021 - Dec 2021

Problem Statement

A control system is required for a fee-paying car-parking with a limited number of places.
A driver gains access to the car park by depositing a coin in the coin box at the entry.
After depositing coin, the barrier should rise to permit entry, it should remain open for 15s and then drop again until next coin is deposited. Barrier has up and down proximity sensors.
The exit barrier should rise automatically when a departing car approaches it. When car approaches the exit barrier, it passes over inductive vehicle sensor. The barrier should rise for 25s and then should drop.
Cars entering the park should be counted. Maximum space available is for 30. When the park is full and indicator “FULL” should be ON. If cars parked are less than 30 an indicator “SPACE” should be ON.
A manual reset button should reset the parking spaces available to zero.

Equipment Used

Mitsubishi PLC
Proximity sensors
Barriers
Indicators
Coin collector

Actions Performed

Logic was designed in the GX Developer software.
PLC was installed at site.
All the inputs and outputs were connected.
Functionality of project was tested successfully.

Autonomous Green House SCADA System

Dec 2021 - Jan 2022

Problem Statement

Light Detection:

In the green home, a light sensor is fitted to continuously monitor the light. If the light level falls below the minimum set point, the lights should switch on to boost the light level; otherwise, they should remain off.

Moisture Detection:

The implanted moisture sensor continuously monitors the level of moisture in the soil. If the moisture level falls below the minimum set point, the irrigation valve should open to raise it; otherwise, it should remain closed. If the moisture level rises above the maximum, the heater should be turned on and the windows should be opened to dry the water and lower the moisture level; otherwise, neither should turn on.

Temperature Measurement:

The temperature within the green house is constantly monitored by a temperature sensor. If the temperature falls below the minimum set point, the heater should switch on to raise the temperature. When the temperature reaches or exceeds the maximum set point, the cooling system should activate to lower the temperature. When the temperature is at its ideal setting, the heater and cooler should be turned off.

Humidity Detection:

The humidity level within the green house is constantly monitored by a humidity sensor. If the humidity falls below the minimum specified point, the water sprinkler should activate to raise the humidity. When the humidity level reaches the maximum set point, the heating should turn on and the windows should be opened to reduce the humidity.

Emission of Carbon Dioxide:

When the button is pressed, a carbon dioxide emitter should activate. When the green house requires carbon dioxide, the emitter should turn on, and carbon dioxide should be sprayed into the space.

Opening of the Door:

In the green house, an automatic door has been fitted. When a person approaches the entrance, a sensor recognizes them and the door should automatically open. After eight seconds, the door should automatically close.

The number of people entering the green house should be kept track of by a counter. This counter should start when a sensor detects a person entering the green house and could be reset using a button.

Actions Performed

Logic was designed in the Codesys Software.
Codesys WebVisu software was used to design the SCADA.
Simulation was run and functionality of logic was tested successfully.

Automated Fire Detection System

Jan 2022 - Feb 2022

Problem Statement:

Fire detection system for a commercial plaza of three floors is to be designed in UK.

Smoke detectors should be used for the fire detection.
In case of fire detection on 1st floor Head of Stair AOV should open along with 1st floor damper, AOV and sprinkler, and the fan should RUN.
When the fire is detected on 2nd floor the stair AOV, 2nd floor AOV and sprinkler should open.
In case of fire on 3rd floor stair AOV, 3rd floor AOV and sprinkler should open.
When any of the output is ON it should remain ON until manual reset button is pressed.
Damper and AOV takes 90s to open or close, these should not be interrupted during opening or closing.
An HMI display showing all the inputs and outputs should be designed.
When any of the input or output is on, it’s status should be shown on the HMI.
