Introduction

 In all automobile Industries manual car washing need more labor to

carry out work which effects in time consumption and also the results
may or may not be satisfactory to the customer that depends. So as
to overcome these issues, automatic car washing can be done
automatically using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)

Slide # 3
Objectives

 development of an efficient and user-friendly automatic car washing system-utilizing

PLCs. The primary objectives of this projects are

 To analyze and understand the various programming languages used for PLC
communication.

 To design and implement a PLC-based control system for an automatic car wash.

 To evaluate the performance of the developed system and analyze its effectiveness
compared to traditional car washing methods.

Slide # 4
Advantages

 Less area required

 Less time requirement in operation
 Less men power requirement
 Pollution free
 Easy to operate
 Low maintenance
 Use in Domestic service station

Slide # 5
Problem Statement

 This project allows us to focus on creating a novel automatic car wash system
that addresses issues like water conservation, energy efficiency, automation,
and user-friendliness. It can be further refined based on specific objectives,
constraints, and technologies need to incorporate into use. So, is there any
specific way to achieve this desired goal?

Slide # 6
Literature Review

 There are many types of car washes. Some of them are Hand car wash where
the vehicle is washed by employees, Self-services car wash where the
customer performs the washing, chemical car washes which use chemicals to
wash and polishing the car surface etc., nowadays automation has extended
its hands in various fields. In automobile services manual car washing requires
more labor effects, time consumption and also the results may not be
satisfactory to the customers. In order to overcome this, car washing can be
done automatically using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). [1]

Slide # 7
Literature Review

 This report presents how car can be washed automatically using PLC. Car
washing requires components like conveyor, brushes, sprayers, driers which
are driven by DC motors. Control of these components is made through PLC.
Research reports shows that the first automatic car wash appears in the late
1930's in which computerized POS mechanism is used. After paying the car is
put into a line-up often called the stack or queue. The stack moves
sequentially. After pulling up to the tunnel entrance, an attendant usually
guides the customer onto the track or conveyor. [2]

Slide # 9
Proposed Methodology

 The mechanism of this car washing system involves entering car to into the
washing arena. In this step the car is placed on conveyer belt. The DC gear
motor used in conveyor belt system. The clean water to clean the car is
provided to remove the dust off the car. In the next step the soap water is
sprayed on the car and then pass to the brushes to reduce the dirt’s intensity.
Then the car is forwarded to clean water again to wash away the dirt
eventually. In the same phenomenon the car is passed through the blower to
dry the car and so the process reaches to completion

Slide # 10
Proposed Methodology

 The various types of components used are

 PLC,
 proximity sensors,
 DC gear motors,
 Wiper motor
 blower, water pumps,
 power supply,
 relay
 conveyer belt.
