Abstract in English
This project aims to modernize a brownfield machine operating under
conventional control systems by upgrading it to an Industry 4.0 compliant
automation system using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and
advanced industrial technologies. The implementation took place at Al-Quds
Pharmaceuticals Company in Ramallah, Palestine, with the main goal of
enhancing manufacturing efficiency through real-time data collection and
analysis.
The transformation improves production quality, reduces operational errors,
and optimizes maintenance processes, thereby minimizing downtime.
Furthermore, the system provides flexibility for future upgrades and
scalability to meet evolving market demands while ensuring compliance
with international quality standards. This project represents a practical step
toward advancing the pharmaceutical sector in Palestine and highlights the
potential of automation in related industries such as food processing and
cosmetics manufacturing.
