Building an automated product processing model

In the era of globalization and rapid advancements in science and technology, the manufacturing industry is experiencing significant transformations. Automation has emerged as a key driver in improving productivity, product quality, and overall competitiveness. Among various technological solutions, automated workpiece machining systems have been widely adopted to modernize production lines. These systems not only minimize dependence on manual labor but also ensure consistency and precision in manufacturing processes. The integration of automation technologies provides numerous benefits, including cost optimization, enhanced accuracy, and reduction of human errors. However, their implementation poses several challenges, such as high initial investment costs, stringent technical requirements, and the need for robust management systems [1,2]. To contribute to the advancement of automation technology in Vietnam, this study proposes the development of an automated drilling and boring system for workpieces, controlled by a Siemens S7- 1200 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The research aims to evaluate both technical and economic aspects, covering technology selection, system design, installation, and operational procedures
