⚙️ Learn Industrial Automation the Practical Way — With Real-World Examples

Industrial automation isn’t something you can truly learn through theory alone.
You need to see how logic works on real machines — how conveyors, sensors, and PLCs come together to make automation happen.

That’s exactly what this book helps you do. It takes you step-by-step from automation fundamentals to advanced PLC applications using real-world industrial examples, written for students, technicians, and professionals who want hands-on understanding.

🧠 100+ Real-World Applications Covered

Here are some of the projects explained in detail:

• 🏗️ Elevator for material handling

• 🔄 Turntable for pallet transfer

• ⚙️ Hydraulic press machine

• 💾 Data shifting within an array

• 🧪 Chemical mixing tank

• 🔩 Pneumatic hammering machine

• 🔗 Communication between two PLCs

• ⚡ Start/Stop 100 motors using for loop

• 📦 Barcode scanner and PLC integration

• 🏭 Box sorting for production lines

• 📈 Machine OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) calculation

• ⏱️ Shift configuration for manufacturing schedules

• 🛡️ Safety PLC programming

• 📦 Box palletizer

• 🍽️ Recipe configuration for flexible production

Each example includes process logic, explanation, and code implementation — helping you think like a real automation engineer.

💻 Practice What You Learn

You can practice all the programming examples from this book using the Machine Simulator — a virtual environment to test your logic and watch your automation come alive.

Machine Simulator

The Machines Simulator by Nirtec is a high-fidelity 3D simulation platform built specifically for industrial automation learning and development. With over 250 pre-programmed components and more than 600 ready-to-use machine models, it allows students and professionals to build, program, and test complete systems in a virtual environment without the risks or costs of physical hardware. Whether you’re practicing sequencing, logic, array handling or robotics, the simulator brings the book-based examples to life by allowing you to code, visualize and iterate virtually — giving you the confidence and hands-on experience needed for industrial automation tasks.
