Automation Vs Mechanization
Mechanization reduces human efforts and reduces manpower, but needs closer and complex human supervision. If consistent and close supervision is not provided, costly process errors will occur. Automation eliminates complex human supervision by taking full control over the operations of the mechanized equipment and provides a consistent and through process control through the well built process program and the instrumentation built in the system. Automation eliminates complex human supervision, human errors as well as consistent human training due to staff turnover and retirement.

MAPL – Approach to Automation
Miranda Automation Pvt. Ltd. advocates plant automation as the only way to build consistent quality and hygiene into the Product and achieve a high productive benefit too. Automation generates reports on materials usage, process parameters, production rate and productivity. Automation generates critical alarms during process change and stoppages and even sends pages or SMS messages to the designated staff. Automation uses robust PLC. (Programmable Logic Controller) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) units along with the instrumentation. Data acquired can be shared by SQLERP system and through DCS (Distributed Computing Systems) staff can access the automation system, to view the process and print report, from their own computer stations. PLC and SCADA systems permit to expand a project, by adding new modules one by one any time with a smooth project integration.

PLC are more foolproof and robust than microprocessors. Microprocessors are tailor made for an application, where as PLC are direct programmable devices. We can change our application implementation at will, by changing the program code. This is the reason, why a PLC system can be easily expanded to add several applications in to a project, module by module any time.

MAPL & Food Industry A Special Note
Miranda Automation Pvt. Ltd. has successfully implemented many of its innovative and pioneering automation project in food industry especially in biscuit industry, because of the excellent opportunity, need and support offered by this industry. Many if these, implementation are the very creation of Miranda Automation Pvt. Ltd. and do not exist anywhere. This was possible to Miranda Automation Pvt. Ltd., because of its project working methodology-conducting systematic project case study, pilot plant construction and detailed cost benefit analysis. The projects were implemented at MAPL cost initially. Miranda Automation Pvt. Ltd. can successfully implement Automation in any industry with this project working methodology.
