In today's fast-automated production, low cost automation (LCA) using programmable logic controller plays a very important role by its repeatability, tighter quality control, low power consumption, low operational cost, less maintenance, waste reduction or filling accuracy, increase in productivity and reduction of labor in the small scale sector. The application of low cost industrial automation (LCA), particularly in small scale industries with simple usage of devices like pneumatic, hydraulic actuators with electrical control to the existing conventional methods will yield higher productivity [Denish Kumar N. automatic bottle filling, capping and embossing using PLC]. The Automation plays an important role in today's world economy. One of the most important applications of automation process is in beverages and soft drinks industries, where continuous filling and capping process is carried out [Arun Kumar.M, H. Prasanna Kumar, Automatic bottle Filling System using PLC]. Automation is also the use of control systems and information technologies to reduce the need for human work in the production of goods and services. In the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization. Whereas mechanization provides human operators with machinery to assist them with the muscular requirements of work, automation greatly decreases the need for human sensory and mental requirements as well [Mallaradhya H. M., K. R. Prakash Automatic Liquid Filling to Bottles of Different Height using Programmable Logic Controller. ]. To improve the traditional bottle filling operation, the adjustable filling and capping machine is designed to reduce the human efforts and labor requirement. Basic stages of a bottling plant operation are presented, i.e. the filling and capping process. At first a set of empty bottle is run by using a conveyor towards the filling section; the filled bottles are sent to the capping section. After successful capping operation, the sealed bottles move towards the exit and a new set of empty bottle arrive, and the process is repeated. PLC usage can be encountered in almost all fields of industry, not only in the manufacturing world but also with many other applications such as: elevators in office buildings, hotels, hospitals, and others. PLC's are user-efficient, cost-effective and easy to control. HMI (Human interface) is used to monitor the process by means of a System display.

ABSTRACT: The industries require large amount of labour to increase the production rate. The low cost industrial automation process is best suitable for small scale industries to increase the production rate of bottle manufacturing, filling with liquid and capping the bottles. In the present work the electric circuits for the above process have been designed and simulated. The sequence of operations are such as automatic clamping, unclamping, injecting the molten material, filling and capping process of the bottles, which is achieved through the use of simple devices like limit switches, relays, electrical controls, pneumatic actuators and sensors. The sequence of operation is tested and simulated by using Fluidsim Pneumatic simulation software.

In days of yore bottle filling operation was being completed physically the manual filling procedure was having numerous inadequacies like spilling of water while filling it in bottle, meet amount of water may not be filled, delay because of regular exercises of human and so on later on power based microcontroller was utilized .It is basic to utilize microcontroller to settle on basic intelligent control choices. By considering this focused world it is reasonable to utilize PLC for bottle filling operation since it is more adaptable to use than microcontroller. Rather than utilizing microcontroller we will utilize PLC on the grounds that it is more appropriate additionally we realize that PLC is more expensive than microcontroller still we are yet in the meantime it is giving more adaptability than microcontroller. PLC permits better adaptability, Space proficient, reduces complexity, better control, time effective, and expands profitability. The principle target of our venture is to configuration, create, and testing of programmed container filling machine utilizing PLC Kit. This machine gives volume based container filling framework and this machine can be utilized by little scale enterprises. In this exploration load cell will take a noteworthy part in volume control without utilizing level sensors. This paper goes for filling bottles by utilizing gravity this takes out the need of pump.

An Automation is the utilization of different control techniques for operating equipment’s such as operations in factories, aircraft and other applications with reduced human power. The filling process is a mission performed by a machine that fills liquid products such as water or cold drinks. Traditional bottling methods include placing bottles on a conveyor belt and filling only one bottle at a time. In this paper, it has been designed and implement water filling machine system for different sized bottles by using PLC. Where the water filling machine system includes design and implement prototype of a flat belt conveyor with dimensions (120*70*30) cm and automatic process for water filling machine using the solenoid valve and sensors which gives the appropriate information to control unit then design the controller using PLC. The PLC plays important role to implement automatic filling process by using PLC programing software and ladder diagram language. It was found that the water filling machine using PLC is less operational cost and less power consumption than the traditional control systems, in addition more flexible and time saving.

In the processing and manufacturing industries there is great demand for industrial control system/ automation in order to streamline operations in terms of speed, reliability and product output. Automation plays an increasingly important key role in the world economy and in daily experience. The designed system, carousel automated bottling system includes the user defined volume selection at any desired level. The fabricated prototype processes are controlled by PLC using programming ladder logics developed in Allen Bradley software. The input and output module of the system plays important role in getting communication between PLC and prototype. Signaling conditions of I/O modules makes the system processes work accordingly with ladder logics developed. PLC is considered as the heart of any system in automation industries. Every result leads to the conclusion that the operation of PLC in is very inspiring. If the empty bottle to be filled is not present or detected, then the solenoid valve in that position is switched off, thereby avoiding wastage of the liquid.

Our objective is to make machinery for stamping details on water bottle cap. As company is small scale company it requires a machine with low cost, high accuracy, less floor area and less interaction of human being. We made a machine with same requirement using Geneva mechanism for indexing purpose which reduces human interaction. For stamping we use electromagnetic actuator which is actuated using ultrasonic sensors to read the location of cap under the plunger. Geneva table reduces the floor area and also makes the loading, unloading and indexing simple in one mechanism. Using sensors stamping becomes automatic and overall cost becomes very low as compared to the machineries used in industries like laser printing and all.

Filling is the process in which a machine packs the liquid products such as water, cool drinks etc. This method includes placing bottles onto a conveyor belt and filling bottles one at a time. This aim of this paper is to describe the methods for filling more than one bottle at a time. In a conveyor system, stepper motor is used for its efficiency. It includes the user defined volume selection at the desired level. Our system includes less number of sensors, so it is less expensive. Filling is controlled by PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) using ladder logic method. In the bottle filling system the PLC gets the sensor feedback and controls the solenoid valve timing as well as controls the conveyer belt. By programming the PLC, the entire system is being controlled. Sensor stands as the most important part for bottle filling. Normally in all automation industries, PLC is considered as the heart of any system. The entire system is made more flexible, time saving and user friendly.
