For the thesis I will be developing a smart fault detection and monitoring system for an automated bottle-filling process. The system uses a Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 PLC for deterministic control and fault identification which includes positional timeouts and sensor condition monitoring. To enhance operational transparency. A communication bridge will be established through ADS protocol to a Python application. This application features a modern graphical user interface developed with CustomTkinter for real-time process visualization and a dedicated data logging part for historical reliability assessment. The results demonstrate that joining industrial control with modern data analytics improves problem-solving speed and supports maintenance plans, aligning with the core objectives of smart factory environments.
