What are the different projects best based on automation? My friend Vishvas Prajapati and I worked for a couple of days to list out some of the trending project ideas for automation. Basically, you can project build these projects using PLC, SCADA, HMI, and VFD. Here you go my favorite 50 project ideas based on automation.

PLC Project for Electronics and Electrical Engineers

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is mostly useful to monitor and control electronics and electrical system, automatically. It helps us to operate the device without effort. Here are the topmost PLC project ideas.
  1. PLC Based on Energy Saving System
  2. PLC Based on Automatic Packing Machine
  3. PLC Based on Automatic Alarm System in Plant
  4. PLC Based on Automatic Multi-Channel Fire Alarm System
  5. PLC Based on Automatic Security Alarm System (for Home, Car, Office, Apartment, etc)
  6. PLC Based on Automatic Home Application Controlling System
  7. PLC Based on Automatic Traffic and Street Light Control System
  8. PLC Based on Automatic Arranging Bottle Filling System (Applications)
  9. PLC Based on Automatic Counting System (for Water Plant, Beverage Industry, Pharmaceutical, etc)
  10. PLC Based on Automatic Industrial Timer Controller for Multiple Machines
  11. PLC Based on Automatic Timer Control System (for Motor, Pump, and Valve)
  12. PLC Based on Automatic Controlling of Parameters (Temperature, Level, Pressure, Flow, etc)
  13. PLC Based on Automatic Cement Making Process System
  14. PLC Based on Automatic  Mixing Applications System (Chocolate, Chemical Industries, etc)
  15. PLC Based on Automatic Dam Sutter Open or Close System
