Abstract - The main aim of this paper is to present a review of implementation of a modified material handling process using advanced PLC system. In olden days, industrial processes required a lot of human labor, resources, time and money. It was very difficult to carry out the processes like job handling and transportation. Another problem associated with this was the productivity and safety. With the development in microprocessor technologies, automation becomes the solution for a variety of problems associated with industrial processes. In the 20th century, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) using advanced microprocessor technologies were developed. This added as a fuel to the boom in automation industries.

3. EXISTING SYSTEM FEATURES AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATONS
1. INTRODUCTION The project that we have undertaken is to solve an industrial problem where previously relay based vehicle was used for material handling processes. This system had several issues like limited productivity, high maintenance , constant human intervention and most importantly safety hazards. The proposed scheme suggests automation and replacement of existing relay based system using PLC and advanced sensors. In addition to this an additional crane mechanism is to be incorporated at different work stations as and where required. The proposed system is expected to overcome all the limitations of existing system and after a longer life span.
