Abstract
Automation is considered as the driving force of Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) to develop smart and automated devices for existing manufacturing processes. However, the global medical outbreak perpetrated by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) challenged researchers to explore new concepts and innovate existing technologies whilst resolving the ongoing health crisis. Thus, the demand for utilizing the automation concept in biomedical devices is reasonably high. For this study, the researchers have successfully implemented an industrial-grade programmable logic controller that will control the mechanical ventilation process of a bag-valve-mask-based emergency ventilator. Various mechanisms were observed, and the results have been documented.
