Abstract : With the development and popularization of technology, virtual instruments are mostly replacing analog device gradually. The measurement and control technology plays an important role in the process of manufacturing industry and scientific research. As time advances, the conventional instruments are emerging in shortage. This study involves the development of virtual instrumentation for process industry automation. In this work, a supervisory monitoring system is developed using LabVIEW software. In today's world, the industrial applications are carried out by controlling remotely. LabVIEW is one of the useful tools for real-time monitoring and controlling of industrial systems. The system fed with having with controllers is used to perform process parameter control, and industry personals can visualize the parameters without visiting the site. Therefore, this system reduces maintenance cost and enhances easy access. Temperature and tank level are key parameters to be monitored in chemical process industries which is considered as an example in this study. Lack of control over any of them will not only affect the component and equipment but also the manpower and, therefore, ultimately resulting in equipment and life loss. Also, to the monitoring and controlling the system, this study also provides an additional security system for the users with e-mail report generation to convey the user about the parametric status.
