In some industries proper maintenance of the controlling system or industrial devices is

crucial to deliver an uninterrupted output. So to reduce the maintenance costs and to
optimize critical monitoring system GSM Based Industrial Automation Technology is

as computers to control industrial machinery and processes, reducing the need for human
intervention. In the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization.
Whereas mechanization provided human operators with machinery to assist them with the
physical requirements of work, automation greatly reduces the need for human sensory and

plays an increasingly important role in the global economy and in daily experience. Engineers
strive to combine automated devices with mathematical and organizational tools to create

Many roles for humans in industrial processes presently lie beyond the scope of automation.
Human-level pattern recognition, language recognition, and language production ability are
well beyond the capabilities of modern mechanical and computer systems. Tasks requiring
subjective assessment or synthesis of complex sensory data, such as scents and sounds, as
well as high-level tasks such as strategic planning, currently require human expertise. In
many cases, the use of humans is more cost-effective than mechanical approaches even
where automation of industrial tasks is possible.

Specialized hardened computers, referred to as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), are

frequently used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the
flow of outputs to actuators and events. This leads to precisely controlled actions that permit

a tight control of almost any industrial process.

Human-machine interfaces (HMI) or computer human interfaces (CHI), formerly known as

man-machine interfaces, are usually employed to communicate with PLCs and other
computers, such as entering and monitoring temperatures or pressures for further
automated control or emergency response. Service personnel who monitor and control these
interfaces are often referred to as stationary engineers.

Industrial automation is the process of controlling and guiding the industrial equipment, i.e.
process and systems with less of the human intervention. The operation and control of the
modern industrial equipment and process needs lot of sensors to monitor various
parameters of the systems.

1.3.1 Importance of Automation

Automation can improve productivity and quality. In order to receive these benefits, educating
the workers on the machinery is necessary. Companies must contemplate their objectives of
automating before incorporating any machinery.
As factory automation technology becomes more capable, more functional and
ubiquitous, its meaning and purpose take on many interpretations.
Factory automation delivers increased product and process information, and of course,
improves product quality.
Technology is used in so many ways and for so many different ends that it is almost
impossible to have a single definition that includes all the solutions factory automation
delivers.
MVI's RPM system, in effect, documents the way a company manages its people.
Its various data templates can be configured to address management and executive
information needs.
It presents real-time data that will help hem to do something with the information and
make an informed decision.
System monitoring showed that unit costs varied by as much as 50 percent over the
three daily shifts.
Providing proper training to the operators led to increased productivity and a more
consistent unit cost.
Factory automation's capabilities are multi-faceted and provide answers to the

questions asked of it.

They have been forced to change from basic suppliers of parts, components or
equipment to a take position where they help customers realize greater productivity,
quality and a competitive edge from OEM purchases.
Because there are fewer mechanical components, the OEM can deliver the press at a
lower initial cost to the printer or publisher.
While increased productivity is the clarion call for the OEM, end users must contend
with a growing list of factory automation opportunities, a challenge for implementing
successful factory automation.
Among the initiatives that Siemens has started is one called Totally Integrated Power,
or TIP, to better manage energy costs and save money
It can also lead to decreased factory power outages and improve uptime.
As with any powerful technology, consider your risk before you take action.
Make sure you have a solid set of goals and objectives that meet your company's
operating needs.

1.3.2 Context of the project

Monitoring of the Critical sensor monitoring is very important in several industries (Nuclear
plants, power plants, petroleum and gas). This job should be done with at most

accuracy

and reliably. The sensor information should be available at various locations simultaneously
to take accurate decisions. This kind of requirement can be met by using the central servers
and connecting the sensor networks through the controllers to the central servers. Most of
the systems require features which are given by web server kind of architecture on wireless

Authentication (of the person commanding).

Port numbers for each connecting application.

But the deployment of the web server is costly and complex to maintain.

Maintaining the wireless network has issues.

GSM network is readily available wireless secured network.

Growing technological research towards 3G suggests this alternative.
