dc.description.abstract To improve efficiency, productivity, and worker safety, industries are implementing automation facilities into their processes to take advantage of the rapid development of technologies [1]. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are one of the major parts of automatic systems in the industry [2]. Learning PLCs and their functions is one major component in learning industrial automation, and hence laboratories pay much attention to instruct students about PLCs and their functions. On the other hand, there is much research being done on intelligent learning platforms such as ALESK, and BYJU’s learning, where they implement student knowledge assessment methods and adaptive teaching methods [3]. This is one part of an ongoing project working on developing an intelligent learning platform for students to learn PLCs, its decentralized connections and simulations using factory IO. With an attempt to identify the hardware components needed to build a ‘Palletizer’, this work tries, • to develop a simulation in Factory IO for students to learn about PLCs, ladder programming and input/output devices, • to develop a web platform for students to refer to lab materials, data sheets and tutorials. As outcomes of this work, a simulation and the ladder logic program of a palletizer was built, and the components needed to build a physical palletizer and their specifications were identified. Moreover, a web interface was designed for students to learn about the lab practical. en_US
