AUTOMATION OF KADHA (MEDICINE) PREPARTION PROCESS IN AYURVEDA USING PLC.

In a traditional KADHA (medicine) preparation, the entire process is done manually Such as boiling, filtering and mixing of medicinal herbs. The purpose of the study is to automate the entire process using PLC system. This work will reduce the time and manpower and continuous monitoring required in the manual process. Sensors such as level sensor and temperature sensor are used to provide the input to the system. The motors, lamps, and also the solenoid valve serve as the output. This paper is divided into 3 section 1) boiling unit 2) filtering unit 3) mixing unit . The mechanical part of the project consist of mechanical drawing, measuring, welding and fabricating process, while electrical part consist of electrical drawing, electrical wiring and programming.
