Industrial Automation Using Cellphone

Project Cost: 4,200

Project Code: 1120

Description of the project:

Nowadays, marketing demands are increasing continuously. If you can’t satisfy demand then you will knock out of the race. There is no time limit for work. So in the modern industry, it needs to give alignment without going on the field. Industrial Automation Using Cellphone is a much-needed project to provide solutions to these scenarios.

Consider one case, that you are a field engineer, the company will start at 9 o’clock. But you have to turn on the boiler at 7 o’clock to start working at 9 o’clock. In this case, you have to go at 7 o’clock but by using this project you can start the boiler by just giving the command from your mobile. The boiler is just an example you can turn on or turn off any controlling device.

To give the command, you have to just call on the mobile on the set which you have set on the field. This mobile is on auto-answering mode. This will receive your call. Then a particular key is assigned to every controlling action. E.g. – key 1- turn on the motor, key 2- turn off the motor. Key 3- turn on the machine etc. Such that by giving commands from a mobile you can control industrial work. It is advantageous for all types of industrial work.

Advantages:

1. No need to go on the field.
2. Higher reliability.
3. Cost-effective.
4. Fast efficient.
5. Six devices can be controlled by single key command

Applications of Industrial Automation Using Cellphone

1. Industrial automation.
2. It can also be used for security purposess after modification.
3. In places where control of action has not any time limit.

Future Development:

1. We can interface with sensors.
2. A Voice alarm systems can be added to the system.

Questions and answers about this project:

Question: What about cell phone? Do you provide mobile with the project? Does mobile handset included in project kit?

Answer: No, we don’t provide mobile or handset with the project.

Question: I am studying in Australia. I just have queries if this project would work for the mobile network in Australia, if so, how?

Answer: Yes, this project will work in Australia. Concept behind this project is controlling by DTMF tone.This will work on any mobile which can generate DTMF tone.

Question: We are students of instrumentation engineering branch. Is this project instrumentation based project?

Answer: Yes, you can submit this project as an instrumentation project.

Question: Why you have used the relay for isolation? Can you use the opto coupler for the isolation purpose?

Answer: No, we can’t use the opto coupler. Since we have to interface the AC devices.

Question: Which type of devices can we control, AC or DC only ? What if I need to control AC bulb or motor ?

Answer: You can control both devices, AC as well as DC. But for AC don’t select motor, as it takes large amount of current. Fan and bulb is ok. You can connect AC bulb and AC fan.

Question: My project is about controlling home appliances using SMS through a GSM modem, preferably SIMCOM300 (not DTMF). I want to control more than one home appliance by sending SMS to the microcontroller. Do you have a project like that?

Answer:Yes, we have SMS operated project. Click here to visit GSM based project section for these type of projects.
