Abstract: Industrial Automation uses control system such as computer or robots and information technology, for controlling different type of processes and machinery and is the process of integrating industrial machinery to automatically perform task such as welding, material handling, packaging, blending etc. Using hardware and soft-ware automation increases productivity, safety and profitability which are the need of any manufacturing industry loading for sustenance in the global competition. The conventional processes are time consuming, less accurate and involve more human interference and thus automation offers an advantage of making the jobs easier and reducing the risk and defects in these process. Soft drink manufacturing is one such process which may involve multiple outputs at every next instant. The mixing of the ingredient must be accurate according to recipe selected and must the display the problem if any encountered automated through alarms. The paper describes the soft-drink manufacturing built using PLC for accurate and faster control.
