The PLC was originally invented to replace relay banks as control systems for industrial automation, saving massive costs over those relay controls by reducing the amount of hardware necessary and eliminating the need to physically re-wire each relay whenever a change needs to be made to the control system.

Programmable Logic Control (PLC) systems are the core of most industrial control systems that drive modern manufacturing.
https://control.com/technical-articles/comparing-industrial-pcs-against-plcs-and-pacs/
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) were first introduced in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The goal back then was to replace relay switch cabinets and large masses of wires with a more compact and efficient solution.
