At Aknitech we develop, manufacture, produce, and distribute intelligent controllers for PLC that’s not just robust, but also adaptable to tomorrow’s connected industry. Let’s take a look at the process of how the controlled panel that is smart can be designed, built and tested before being handed over to our customers.

Stage 1: Built – Designing and Manufacturing a Smart Control Panel

1.1 Concept & Design

Every project begins by understanding the client’s needs. This is a case of:

PLC electrical panel designed to automatize processes for process automation in Bhopal along with other parts of India.
The selection from PLC Programming languages (Ladder Structured Text and the Function Block Diagram).
AutoCAD plans to layout systems.

1.2 Components Inside a Smart Control Panel

PLC modules: the brain behind automation controlling the logic of communication and.
HMI & SCADA Displays: allow operators to observe IoT devices and monitor industrial processes.
VFD and Soft Starters: Manage motor speed as well as efficacy (soft starter vs. VFD).
PT100 RTD Sensors: Accurate temp measurement by using PT100 resistance chart and tables for RTD.
MIS Panels & Energy Management Systems that provide complete reports on power consumption and production.
Network Accessories: Make sure you have reliable connectivity to IoT devices.

1.3 Industry Relevance

Industrial applications include PLC automation, Smart irrigation systems, and MIS production reports.
A growing demand of PLC manufactures in India that offer advanced, IoT-ready devices.

Stage 2: Tested – Ensuring Smart Control Panel Reliability and Performance

2.1 Testing PLC Programming & Logic

Every PLC panel is subject to simulation with different kinds of PLC programming.
Validation of SCADA protocols within IoT to verify accuracy in real-time.
IoT devices are controlled using Raspberry Pi IoT devices and cloud-based IoT monitoring.

2.2 Communication & Protocols

Testing CoAP against MQTT to test IoT efficiency of the device management protocol.
Assuring seamless IoT administration of configurations and scaling of the system.
Checking IoT level and templates for deployment for various industries.

2.3 Quality & Safety Checks

Temperature calibration using PT100 The chart of the RTD.
Motor and drive checks for VFD program and start-up reliability.
The safety standards must be in place prior to delivery.

Stage 3: Delivered – From Factory to Industry with a Smart Control Panel

3.1 Packaging & Documentation

Smart panels are loaded full of AutoCAD wiring schematics and diagrams SCADA Design layouts and manuals for automation software for MIS.

3.2 Installation & Deployment

On-site installation for PLC control panels as well as SCADA IoT devices.
Connectivity to existing IoT monitors and networks for industrial use.
Engineering training sessions for engineers covering HMI SCADA and IoT device management capabilities.

3.3 Post-Delivery Support

Real-time monitoring tools using Raspberry Pi IoT cloud.
Maintenance and upgrade (PLC Panel maintenance and updating PLC panels).
Remote assistance for IoT management of the system as well as energy management.

Key Takeaways for Manufacturers

Smart control panels can be described as a complete set of PLC, IoT, SCADA as well as MIS automation.
Selecting the right partner is crucial. Look for an PLC manufacturing firm located in Bhopal or India with a proven track record.
Future-ready products like IoT monitoring of devices, PT100 RTD sensors, and MIS automation software will greatly improve effectiveness.
