Colour-Based Agro Product Sorting and Disease Detection

Due to the growing demand for high-quality food, it is challenging for individuals to distinguish between ripe and unripe foods by colour and to diagnose sickness with bare eyes. Even colour-based fruit and vegetable sorting requires human labour. Using colour recognition technology to automate the sorting process allows organizations to increase production and efficiency while saving time and money. The NodeMCU microcontroller, the TCS3200 colour sensor, and servo motors are used to create the colour-based sorting device. The system's IoT interface uses the NodeMCU microcontroller. The colour sensor detects the product's colour and sorts it accordingly. Data about the detected colour is transmitted to the website, in this instance, ThingSpeak is used. In the back end, with this information, the disease and quality of the product can also be detected. The experimental results indicate that the prototype will meet the needs for increased productivity and precision in the field of automation.
