Packing Line Control Using Microcontroller

This document describes an automated packing line control system using a microcontroller. The system uses two conveyor belts - a feeding conveyor to move items and a packing conveyor to move boxes. An IR sensor on the feeding conveyor counts the items as they are transferred to the packing conveyor and box. When the preset count is reached, the microcontroller stops the feeding conveyor. The packing conveyor moves the box to the packing station, where another sensor stops it for packing. The process then repeats to pack multiple boxes automatically. The system aims to increase productivity by automating an otherwise manual packing process.

PACKING LINE CONTROL USING MICROCONTROLLER

SYNOPSIS

To increase the productivity and to overcome skilled labour shortage,


most of the manufacturing industries are going for automation. The main
aim for us to select this project work is to acquire practical knowledge in the
field of automation using microcontroller.
We

selected

PACKING

LINE

CONTROL

USING

MICROCONTROLLER as our project work and we used principles of


Mechatronics in developing this project.This project consist of two
conveyors, the first conveyor(feeding conveyor) is used to feed the job and
it is mounted above the second conveyor(packing conveyor) .The packing
conveyor feeds the packing box .The jobs are feeded from the feeding
conveyor to the packing conveyor through the IR sensor which is used to
count the job while feeding to the packing box.
When the switch is pressed, the packing box slides on the packing
conveyor and the packing conveyor is stopped by the magnetic sensor at
packing station. The jobs are fed by the feeding conveyor to the packing
box through the IR sensor which sends the signal to the microcontroller. The
microcontroller stops the feeding conveyor after the counter reaches the
preset value and the same process is repeated again.
