Methodology for the upgrading and the automation of industrial system : case study

Abstract EN

The aim of this paper is to present firstly the issues involved in designing automated systems, and secondly to present a methodology for the upgrading and the automation of industrial systems.

Two interesting methods of analysis have been applied, SADT (Structured Analysis and Design Technique) and OOPP (Objective Oriented Project Planning) on a process, an example a grain silo.

These methods allow a systemic analysis of industrial processes.

The paper briefly discusses the design of industrial systems and some advantage of the application of systemic analysis for the upgrading and the automation of industrial systems.

Then the basic principles of the two methods applied on the grain silo are presented.

Finally, the different results obtained from the two methods are discussed.
