The paper presents a system for remote control of pipeline valves used for the transport of liquids and gases. Remote controlled valves enable effective and safe remote control, including wireless communication protocols, sensors, actuators and monitoring systems such as SCADA systems where the operator remotely changes the position of the valve. The advantages of remote control are increased efficiency, reduced risk of human error and quick response to emergency situations. Remote control of valves enables better control and management of liquid and gas transport systems while reducing operating costs and room for error and increasing safety.
