Abstract

In this 21st century, people need to work smarter rather than harder. The new digitalization movement like Industry 4.0 demands the enhanced capabilities of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)systems by leveraging recent advance to improve the productivity of and industry at a low cost. An automation engineering course trains student to troubleshoot, repair and maintain automated industrial equipment’s such as computer numerical control (CNC). The palm oil refining industries are the world’s leading manufacturing sectors and palm oil has become an increasingly important vegetable oil in the world market. Malaysia, the largest producer of crude palm oil and exporting business, is currently the world’s largest palm oil trader. Malaysia has accomplished these achievements by constantly upgrading its manufacturing infrastructure in line with the Industrial Automation Revolution. Therefore, to keep up with the rapid changes in the industrial automation system, the palm oil refinery industry was chosen as a model for the development of a training module based on real industrial automation system. The purpose of this project is to develop a training module based on a real industrial automation system using the cheapest yet effective method. Besides that, to visually describe an industrial automation system. Lastly, to increase the validity of the interpretation of the experiments performed during the laboratory session. Visual Studio 2019 has been used to develop the training module. The ladder diagram is mapped accordingly to the palm oil refinery process using CX-Programmer. This training module includes start, stop, repeat, and back control, real-time CX-Programmer simulation, related process videos ,pop-up information about the specific process upon clicking on any tank and infographic explanation about the training module process in PDF form.
