Today, manufacturing processes have become a lot more efficient due to Internet of Things (IoT), intelligent automation, advance robotics and other smart factory initiatives. Despite rapid changes in technology, PLC continues to play a vital role in manufacturing and acts as a central processor for all real time decisions. PLCs have adapted well to modern manufacturing and automation systems. With no competitor on horizon and solid fundamentals, PLCs and PLC programming will continue to play an integral role in the

manufacturing processes.
