This high-complexity project used 3 separate PLCs (with HMIs) to automate a burger restaurant system. Each of the three subsystem PLCs were responsible for a distinct aspect of the process. The first subsystem was a self-service kiosk for customers to place their orders. The order would then be sent to the second subsystem, which controls the kitchen. Once the cooking is completed, it is sent to the final subsystem, which deals with packaging and delivery to the customer.

The system outputs and burgers itself was simulated, however the physical PLCs and HMIs were made fully operable and interactable and was able to fully function. Any of the subsystems' E-Stops would stop all the others, and the kitchen subsystem was designed to fail safe, requiring manual enabling to resume any cooking operations.

Written fully in Studio5000.

Many late nights were spent here achieving functionality. The team of six (three subsystem teams of two) used three total stations.

This is the screen that customers would use to order their food. Many screens like this were made that could be used to input information or show information.
