Production Monitoring System Using Programmable Logic Controllers and SCADA in the Automotive Manufacturing Industry

Industrial monitoring and control systems, using PLC and SCADA, provide us with real-time information about the performance of each machine and process. This monitoring system allows us to continuously monitor and control its operations. The application of SCADA systems in the automotive manufacturing industry is the first step towards the Industrial Revolution 4.0 based on machine learning and artificial intelligence. There is a problem with recording production results in one area of the automotive industry. When carrying out the recording process, the manual processes are still used and production timeline stop problems are not well controlled, resulting in inefficient time consumption. Next, research and improvement were carried out by creating a production monitoring system (PMS) that could be used to monitor production results in that area. This research was developed with the integration of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) control, SCADA software, and database software. In this case, we designed the Mitsubishi PLC program, created the programming, displayed it with the CIMON SCADA application, and created the database system. This system has been proven to make it easier for the production team to monitor production quantities, monitor production line stops, and increase production efficiency.
