Abstract: Applying ever growing technological advancements in the automation sector to the education systems and with the intent to make the laboratories smarter and perform experiments in favorable conditions, an idea of PLC based Lab Automation was proposed. This paper represents the implementation of different modes as per the user’s convenience. Special features of this design ensure the control of the presentation environment when the projector is in use and monitoring the availability of computers while entering the room. In this project, the aim is to have control over the electronic and electrical appliances as per the user’s convenience either automatically by interfacing sensors with PLC or manually by human inputs. This is achieved with the help of an emerging communication protocol OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) in different ways mainly focusing on Client-Server application UaExpert and Android app Prosys. The main motive behind implementing this plan is to foster a better teaching-learning environment, save time and reduce human effort
