#about plc.

Whether we look at the Automotive or Food industry, Power or Sugar, Cement or Textile, Paper or Sewage Treatment - we see that most industrial processes and machines today are automated, and that the level of automation keeps growing. Modern industrial automation systems are smarter and more advanced than ever before.

Industrial automation is all about PLC. It is the PLC that provides the power and 'intelligence' of smart automation systems. PLC stands for programmable logic controller. It is a specialised computer control unit that continuously monitors the internal components and gets them to function together as a seamless, coordinated unit.

The PLC control system automatically controls the different processes, devices and components in an industrial system, and makes decisions based on a custom programme. The application of PLC in industry is infinite.

PLC PIONEER

Did you know that in India, the first company to build PLCs was Messung Systems? Yes, it was way back in the early 1980s. Established in Pune, it was the first PLC manufacturing company and launched its first 1-bit processor-basedPLC in 1984. The first installation took place at Kirloskar Oil Engines, Pune.

Today, so many decades later, Messung continues to rank amongst the top 10 PLC manufacturers and leading industrial automation companies in India, with PLC brands that have proven themselves in thousands of installations across applications and industries, all over the country. Messung’s integrated solutions with PLC programming for industrial automation as per specific customer requirements, makes Messung the preferred PLC manufacturer in almost every industry vertical.
