What can Programmable Logic Controllers be used
for? There are many industries where precision
and efficiency are of high importance. PLCs
control the mechanization of certain production
processes. Assembly lines, robotic devices,
quality control parameters, to name a few, PLCs
provide reliable and high level operating power
to a plethora of systems and processes. controllo

1. Automobile Manufacturing
This is where PLCs got their first big start.
Odo Josef Struger, an Austrian engineer, has
been coined a father of the PLC and helped
Allen- Bradely with the development of the
technology. After its development, a few years
later it was first adapted to replace an outdated
relay system in the automotive industry.

2. Product Assembly
Filing orders with the proper quantities and
items used to be done manually. A tedious process
which required many hands now can be done
instantaneously and without the possibility of
human error. PLCs have sped up production
capabilities in most hard good industries.

3. Food Assembly Lines
When producing food in large quantities, quality
control is important. Too much or too little of
something can lead to an entire batch being
spoiled and/or wasted. With the use of PLCs,
exact quantities, mix times, cook times, etc can
be programmed and executed with ease.

4. At Home
There are civil applications for PLCs as well. At
home in our washing machines the wash, rinse, and
spin times are all controlled by a programmable
logic controller. When commuting, streetlights
turn on in the evening thanks to PLCs, and stop
lights also can be controlled this way.
