This research encompasses the design, fabrication, and evaluation of a PLC Based
Variable Capacity Rice Cooker, with the primary goal of automating the rice preparation
process. Employing a descriptive-developmental approach, the study addressed objectives
such as designing and fabricating the device, along with evaluating its functionality and
variable capacity for rice and water. The cooker incorporates geared motors, two
submersible water pumps for filling and draining tasks, and a motorized ball valve, all
controlled by a PLC system. The fabrication process followed systematic steps, including
2D design creation and programming implementation. The findings revealed the device's
ability to consistently produce high-quality cooked rice across different capacities, albeit
minor percentage errors were observed. The PLC-based design showcased reliability and
precision, maintaining optimal results within specified tolerances. Notably, the device
exhibited versatility in handling various quantities of rice.
