The SCADA system using PLC and HMI to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of production processes

Abstract

One of the problems in the industry is waste. There are 7 wastes, namely excessive production, inventory, defect/damage, transfer/transportation, movement, waiting time and excessive processes are things that absorb and waste resources, expenses, and additional time but don’t provide any added value in the activity, and therefore this research is fundamental to create an effective and efficient production process. The purpose of this research is to find out how much effectiveness and efficiency can be achieved by a SCADA system using PLC and HMI on industrial machines. This research uses a comparative method between a conventional control system with a SCADA system using PLC and HMI to get cost and time savings results. The results obtained in this study are SCADA systems using PLC and HMI can reduce production from 1.1% to 0.3%, increase productivity 6, 1%, saving production time from 396 minutes to 352 minutes and reduce costs from 6, 71%. The conclusion obtained in this research SCADA system using PLC and HMI can improve the effectiveness and efficiency in the production process in industries.
