Project Title

Design And Development of Automated Conveyor To Sort Out Different Shapes For Industrial Purposes

Project Area of Specialization Mechatronics EngineeringProject Summary

Industrial automation totally revolutionized the industry and industrial automation to another level. Our project will increase the industrial productivity and its efficiency by eliminating the human error. We shall design a fully automated conveyor belt which can sort out three Shapes of Objects (Square, Rectangle and Triangle) on the basis of their Shape and any other undesired shape than fall in the bin at the end of the conveyor belt. Our conveyor belt will be consisting of 3 linear actuators to separate the Desired Shape Objects (Square, Rectangle and Triangle). We shall use a microcontroller and a camera to recognize the Desired Shape Objects (Square, Rectangle and Triangle). When we shall put Desired Shape Objects (Square, Rectangle and Triangle) on the conveyor belt ultrasonic sensor will sense the Object and conveyor belt will start running. Then camera will get image of the Object and will send it to Microcontroller where image will be processed. We shall write a proper code to sort out the Desired Shape Objects (Square, Rectangle and Triangle) on the basis of its Shape and then move the linear actuator to separate the Objects.

Project Objectives

To Develop Fully Automated Conveyor Belt for Industries that Automatically Sorts Out Products on the Basis of Their Shapes (Square, Rectangle and Triangle).

Project Implementation Method

uOur conveyor belt consists of 3 linear actuators to separate the desired shapes objects.(Square, Rectangle & Triangle)

u We use a microcontroller and a camera to recognize the shapes.

u When we put objects of desired shapes on the conveyor belt, ultrasonic sensor senses the object and conveyor belt starts running.

u If the shape is other than the desired shape, then camera get image of the object and sends it to microcontroller where image is processed.

uWe write a proper code to sort out the objects of desired shapes on the basis of its size and shape, then move the linear actuator to separate the object.

Benefits of the Project

1. Automation speed up the industrial process which tends to increase in industrial productivity.
2. Automation makes the industrial processes more secure and efficient.
3. Automation eliminates the chances of human error.
4. Industrial automation has many financial benefits as compare to manual operations. Because in manual operations we have to pay the engineers, technicians and workers and to provide them other services which increases the overall industrial cost.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Industrial automation is the creation of technology and its application in order to control and monitor the production and delivery of various goods and services. Industrial automation application is the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and machineries in an industry to replace a human being.
