Sorting of Objects from Conveyer Belt through Colour Detection and Audrino UNO

In many industrial applications, the key job that needs to be accomplished in the final packaging segment is to sort the large amount of goods in the industry in the required manner. Material sorting in an industry is a repetitive manufacturing process, which would normally be carried out manually. With this continuous manual sorting procedure comes along the problems with accuracy of the output such as, wrong item in a wrong section or container/package. In-order to have an accurate product supplied to the market for the consumers our automatic sorting machine may instead be used to eliminate these disadvantages of conventional packaging by using the TCS3200 colour sensor that can distinguish the distinct coloured objects and categorize it effectively and quickly. With the help of the Arduino, the system can be programmed according to the desired work that needs to be done in industries, using the conveyor belt these objects can be transported easily and effectively without requiring the labour work and shifted to the particular direction to separate the coloured objects using servo motor. The servo can push the object to a different conveyor that can move the object to a different direction making it all more reliable and accurate. Objects can be sorted using a variety of techniques, including sorting by scale (height, length, etc. ), color, weight, computer vision (image processing), content of an object, and so on. Electromagnetic sorting methods, for example, are used to separate ferromagnetic materials from gas in thermal power plants. In this paper, we demonstrate how the sorting object functions using colour sensor. The framework accomplishes this task with the help of connected microcontroller ATmega 328p in the Arduino UNO, a color detector TCS3200 that helps to colour sensor which helps in sensing the colour of the object that is placed in front of it.
