Abstract

In the quest for heightened industrial efficiency, the integration of automated product counting and sorting systems with conveyor belts has emerged as a transformative solution. Object sorting, a fundamental process employed across various domains in our daily lives, often suffers from human errors and time-intensive procedures. To address these challenges, the implementation of Low-Cost Automation (LCA) has been introduced to sorting systems, aiming to reduce production time, labor expenses, and processing complexities, while elevating product quality and production rates. This project introduces an innovative approach to automatically sort objects based on their height and accurately count them. The system employs a conveyor belt, DC Gear motor, servo motor, HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor, and an LCD display with an i2c converter, all Controlled by an Arduino UNO. Objects traversing the conveyor belt undergo height measurements through an ultrasonic sensor, enabling the Arduino to process the data and activate servo motors for sorting according to pre-defined height categories. The study successfully demonstrates the sorting and counting of objects with distinct sizes, showcasing the potential for improved industrial automation and efficiency.In the quest for heightened industrial efficiency, the integration of automated product counting and sorting systems with conveyor belts has emerged as a transformative solution.
