Abstract :

The Convergence Of Industrial Internet Of Things (IIoT), Cloud Computing, And Industrial Automation Technologies Has Revolutionized Modern Manufacturing And Process Industries. Traditional Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) And Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems, Once Isolated And Locally Operated, Are Now Being Transformed Into Intelligent, Interconnected Platforms Capable Of Real-time Monitoring, Predictive Analysis, And Remote Decision-making. This Paper Provides An In-depth Exploration Of IoT-enabled PLC– SCADA Systems, Detailing Their Architecture, Communication Mechanisms, Performance Benefits, And Implementation Challenges. It Reviews Recent Research Developments, Compares Conventional And IoT-integrated Industrial Systems, And Presents Sample Analytical Results Illustrating Efficiency Gains. The Study Demonstrates That Integrating IoT Technologies Significantly Enhances Operational Visibility, Reduces Downtime, Optimizes Energy Usage, And Supports Smart Manufacturing Initiatives Aligned With Industry 4.0. Limitations Such As Cyber Security Vulnerabilities, Latency, And Standardization Issues Are Also Discussed Along With Possible Solutions And Future Research Directions
