Abstract
This paper aims to develop an ASRS that has a three DOF robotic arm attached to it. Initially, the common ASRS focused on heavy pallets loads but with the evolution of the technology, handled loads have become smaller. Our objective is to lift even lighter objects in the field of pharmacy as a tablet dispensing machine. The whole system is controlled and monitored using PLC and SCADA. This system can be of important use in holding a small object and storing it in a very small confined area. Conventional ASRS is bigger and can hold bigger object but when it comes to small tiny objects this same ASRS fails to retrieve the object so we have proposed a system that can hold, store and retrieve small and soft objects without any damage to it. The proposed idea provides both monitoring and control of all the above parameters using PLC. It gets the input from the HMI. According to the ladder logic diagram, it issues the necessary control automatically. and then the entire operation is monitored using SCADA.
