        abstract = {The modern sewage treatment plant demands advanced automation for efficient and reliable process operation. This paper presents the design and implementation of an intelligent motor control panel leveraging Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), Human Machine Interface (HMI), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. The project encompasses electrical design, PLC ladder logic programming, HMI/SCADA configuration, and hardware validation, targeted towards the biosolids digester and water treatment processes. Simulation studies and real-time implementation validate the seamless integration and robust performance of the proposed system, enabling improved process control, safety, and energy efficiency for industrial wastewater management. The results highlight the system’s ability to achieve robust process sequencing, improved monitoring, and reduced manual intervention demonstrating its scalability and suitability for modern water treatment automation.},
