In order to automate the operations involved in the industries, the implementation of sensors, actuators and logic controllers has become an utter necessity. In this paper, the stress has been laid on the safety of the working personnel by implementing the technique of automation using automated devices and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). In Oil refineries, we have analyzed the specific zone of an oil collection station and found the necessity of implementing a safer working environment for the working personnel. An oil collecting station is an area in an oil refinery where oil in various forms after refining is stored in large oil tanks. It is from here that the stocks of oil are dispatched to various locations. The oil collecting stations contains large cylindrical tanks which are used to store oil. Oil in various form are sent from the digging zone after refining to the oil collecting station through long pipelines. Taking into account these aspects, safety system have been designed and developed in order to secure that area. In any industry the safety of the working personnel is of first priority. The productivity and efficiency of any organization depends on the efficiency of the working personnel. Hence it is very important to provide a better working environment for the working personnel. So, this project is a trend towards the better productivity and work output of any organization which has been made possible with the implementation of automation.
