SCADA for spinning plants: A low cost/non-conventional approach

Abstract

Fibre spinning industries need low cost, robust and effective monitoring systems on their machines. This is achieved by using a non-conventional approach for data acquisition and it's processing, using only low cost mechanical actuation system and digital components instead of costly PLCs and commercial SCADA packages. The system effectively processes thousands of inputs and produces the live status and improves efficiency and production of the plant against a very little investment. This control system is implemented at Crescent Jute Products Ltd., Jarhanwala (PAKISTAN).
