Abstract: The tank cleaning process is one of the major requirements in many industries such as in Pharmaceutical Industries, Fast Moving Consumer Goods Companies (FMCG) and in Paint Industries. The tank cleaning in many small scale industries is still manual and lengthy process. In industries sometimes these tanks are placed in an area where humans cannot go and work, so to avoid this problem we thought of fully automated process of tank cleaning for that we have chosen Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).The PLC is the heart of the system Proposed system provides cost effective and efficient alternate solution to existing system. This system reduces the bulkiness and it is easy to understand (user friendly).It does not require difficult or complex algorithm and coding is also not lengthy. This system stores the water used for the process of tank cleaning instead of throwing away. From conductivity sensor we will come to know the cleanliness of the tank so the ultimate results obtained are reliable and accurate.

Keywords: Programmable Logic Controller.
