Automation and control systems are necessary throughout oil & gas industries, to production and processing plants, and distribution and retailing of petroleum products. Pipelines are the efficient mode of transportations of fuels for processing plants over long distances. At present Automation is achieved by using PLC’s that are communicated through SCADA. But it is complex and remote operation is not possible. With the introduction of IoT, the pipeline leak detection system is improved through real-time monitoring of the pipelines. Our Proposed system is designed to detect even small leakage that occurs within the pipeline. The implementation of IoT in oil and gas industries prevents accidents and to make quick decisions based on real-time data

Abstract Automation and real-time control have long been used in urban wastewater systems. However, there is a critical need to review how real-time control contributes to sustainable water management. This review provides a systematic review of the role of real-time control towards creating a sustainable wastewater system. This review identifies the social, economic and environmental pillars of sustainability that can be achieved using automation and control systems, considering individual systems and different scales of integration. Results obtained from a systematic literature review show that previous research on automation and control related to sustainability in the water sector focuses on addressing economic issues (mainly operational cost reduction) and improving the quality of the water environment, while the social pillar of sustainability is not addressed to a significant degree. Integrated control is identified as a promising approach to address the three pillars of sustainability. Future research on automaton and real-time control in the water and wastewater system needs to explicitly demonstrate the contribution of control strategies towards the attributes of sustainability. To this end, regulatory bodies should focus on creating an overarching sustainability framework with indicators of sustainability clearly defined. Further, addressing three pillars of sustainability requires an integrated approach at a catchment scale where upstream and downstream processes are considered.

The paper presents the concept and prototype development of a hierarchically structured knowledge-based system (KBS) for coordinated control of a welding robot and a positioning table. The KBS is designed for continuous seam welding in an autonomous manufacturing environment. The structure of the KBS allows updating and installation of individual function and database modules such as those used for determining welding parameters and identifying constraints and parameters for robot and table controllers. The KBS is designed to plan the feasible table configurations and robot trajectories as well as to coordinate the movements of the robot and positioning table. The KBS has a modular structure which can accommodate multiple configurations of different types of robots and positioning tables within a flexible manufacturing cell. Initial testing has demonstrated the feasibility of integrated heuristic and algorithmic procedures for real-time applications. A fully implemented version of this KBS will enable a user to perform high quality welds in a relatively short period of time with (possibly) incomplete knowledge of the welding cell equipment. The KBS software is written in the C language and has been tested for real-time operations within a simulated welding cell environment.

In recent years, there has been a growth in the amount of data used to improve the production processes. As a result, the cross communication and interaction between components has increased and became a key property of modern production system. To reduce the cost of communication and to increase the efficiency of these systems, middleware technology such as CORBA, COM+, Java RMI, and Web services are being used. Middleware is becoming more and more the essential factor in improving current Manufacturing Process Automation and Control Systems, and their applications have witnessed an increased demand in real time Manufacturing Distributed Applications. In this paper, we propose publish-subscribe middleware architecture based on the Data Distribution System (DDS) open standard. The proposed architecture aims to seamlessly integrate the existing heterogeneous manufacturing systems, such as SCADA system, DCS, PLCs, and databases; and improve the communication and real time data delivery among system components; also, it provides a QoS support layer between the communicating components. Furthermore, the proposed architecture is implemented and evaluated by intensive experiments.
