Design & Development of Automatic Conveyor Controlling System for Sorting of Component on Color basis

Amir Deshmukh | Mahesh Nagane | Vaibhav Awatade

Abstract: In many packaging industries, color object sorting is the major task that needs to be done at final dispatch section. Sorting of various products in such industries is accomplished based on appearance i. e. color, shape and sizes. Manual sorting is the tradition approach that preferred by industries that involves visual inspection performed by human operators. This traditional approach is tedious, time-consuming, slow and non-consistent. It has become increasingly difficult to hire personnel who are adequately trained and willing to undertake the tedious task of inspection. Therefore the efforts are made to design and implementation of automatic technique to determine color of object, color based component sorting using microcontroller. In implemented system, colored object which is rolling over a conveyer belt has been detected by using color sensors. Using color sensors, the color of a component which may be red, green or blue has been determined. Once the color of a component is determined, implemented system will automatically count and sort the objects as per its color.
