AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN PUMPING SYSTEMS
Abstract
Automation technologies have become a critical component in modern pumping systems, significantly improving efficiency, reliability, and operational control. This paper explores the integration of automation in pumping systems, including the use of sensors, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and variable frequency drives (VFDs). The study highlights the impact of automation on energy efficiency, maintenance optimization, and system performance. The results indicate that automated pumping systems reduce operational costs, minimize human error, and enhance system longevity.References
