Top 50 PLC based Automation Projects for Engineering Students

Are you looking for ideas for your college project?

Here I’m brainstorming you 50 ideas you can pick right away and start developing your project.

Why automation is so important when it comes to choosing your project?

Day-to-day, our lifestyle is becoming easy and revolutionary due to advanced technologies. In electronics and electrical, advanced technologies are used for automatically controlling, operating and maintaining the system.

Automation is one of the best technology. This automation is used to automatically operate the devices or applications in domestic, commercial and industrial environments.

No doubt, looking at future opportunities, automation is one of the most beneficial topics for every engineering student to learn.

Not getting any ideas for automation projects?

No worries…

50 Project Ideas for  Electronics and Electrical Engineers on PLC based Automation

What are the different projects best based on automation?
