Industrial automation has become indispensable in modern manufacturing and material handling operations. This paper presents the design, development, and performance evaluation of a PLC, SCADA, and HMI-based automation system for a Limestone Luffing Stacker used in cement plant operations. The system integrates a Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Control Expert-programmed Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), an AVEVA Plant SCADA supervisory system, and a Vijeo Designer HMI for operator interaction.
