Nowadays, automation in the industry is a global need for ease of operation, flexibility and operationalsafety. Automation is basically the delegation of human control functions to technical equipment aimed towardsachieving higher productivity, superior quality of end product, efficient usage of energy and raw materials, improvedsafety in working conditions etc. In recent years programmable logic controller (PLC) has experienced anunprecedented growth as universal element in industrial automation. This research paper presents laybouy sequence forpulp sheet in wetlap process. The idea is to automate the process of pulp sheet collection in sequence operation usingprogrammable logic controller. The purpose of this proposed method is to replace the manual system which currentlyused, compare the cost and maintenance time for both the existing with the proposed automated safety system. TheSiemens S7 1200 series PLC is used to mechanize the system. Sensors such as proximity, limit switch and photo cell areused to provide input to the system and motors such as servo and dc motor serves as an output. Ladder diagram as aprogramming language is used to control the whole system between the input and output.
