This process is automated to achieve a greater control over the parameters of importance and by that way increasing the efficiency of the entire process. In the integrated approach of automation, the whole system is considered and the individual modules used have a dependency over the other. Thus integrated method requires maintenance of all the modules in high efficiency to effectively gain the advantages of the method. The expected result of this approach is a central and local control system for the process and to develop a controller program which is more user-oriented. The comparative results of the existing process with the developed approach show a great variation in the ease of troubleshooting the process and also the monetary difference in maintaining the system. Analysing the results, about 20% difference in maintenance time is found out considering for a month. May - July 2016 Copyright © 2016 i-manager publications.
