Abstract: Now a day’s industrial area requires demand for automation. Due to automation human efforts are decreasing since
last decade. Object sorting based on weight is difficult task in recent days. In industry there is rapidly increasing demand for
automation. The Sorting of objects based on weight is very difficult task. This project gives us an idea about automatic colour
sorting. Here we are designing and implementing an efficient sorting using laser sensor based on Arduino .This project gives
high accuracy and performance. Easy to operate and construct which reduces human errors. Existing sorting method uses a set
of inductive, capacitive and optical sensors do differentiate object based on weight.

I. INTRODUCTION
Most of the industries have at least one conveyor system tomove or to separate the materials. The need to produce an automatic
material separating conveyor is essential. Earlier many critics argued that automatic material separating system leads to failure, but
due to the advancement of technology, reliable automatic system can be produced. Manual material separation system require more
money, time and machines. It will lead to high cost. To reduce these wastage, many companies started to adopt automation in the
plant. If the industries use automation, it helps to increase rate of production, with smart utilization of space at lesser / reasonable
rates. This automatic material removing conveyor system separate the material depending on their height. It contains an Node mcu ,
IR sensor, Weight sensor, servo motors, liquid crystal display. Overall, the system helps to ease movement and add more visibility
Sorting is necessary in industries where products are manufactured on large scale.

II. METHODOLOGY
This project work is for the food product manufacturing industry. Our project objective is to separate the 100 gms boxes sorting
machine which reduces human efforts and increases company productivity. We are working for the issue and have to give one small
demo prototype as per the company requirements. Here we are using load cell to measure the weight, for demo 100gms soap are
accepted and below that are rejected. The servo motor use to rotate the selector plate after the conveyor belt for selected and
rejected The data of counting is send to the cloud server as well as the conveyor motor start and stop time we can monitor online.

As shown in the diagram, NodeMCU is used as wifi controller, ATtiny85 microcontroller is used to run the stepper motor for
conveyor belt after getting push button signal from nodemcu
IR sensor which sends signal to nodemcu to stop the servo motor when the soap is on the load cell, after getting the load cell value
in grams if the soap is of 100gms then servo motor shaft rotate right side and soap will dispense on right side, if the soap is of
below 100gms then servo motor shaft moves on left side so rejected soaps will dispense on left side DISCUSSION -In the previous
paragraphs it has been shown how an IoT application for belt conveyor systems like the smart idler concept can be developed using
the characteristics of IoT systems and Big Data. Although the concept has been developed, and still is under further development, it
has not yet been implemented in a large-scale belt conveyor. The main reason is the worldwide situation of the mining industry. The
smart idler concept has been tested extensively underlaboratory conditions in all kind of different configurations and the system
works fine. The RFID sensor nodes in the meantime have been further developed to an economical viable concept.
However, in practice it is not always easy to convince the procurement department of a mine to invest in technology on forehand.
Unexpected downtime of a largescale belt conveyor may costs up to $300,000.- If the idler rolls where the cause of this downtime
then this could have been prevented by using the smart idler concept.

III. CALCULATIONS
The Speed of a Belt calculator computes the speed at which a linear length of belt travels around a pulley based on the diameter
(D) of the pulley and the rotation rate (R).Belt
(D) Diameter of Pulley
(RPM) Rotation Rate

Belt Speed (BS): The calculator computes the belt speed in feet per second. However, this can be automatically converted to other
velocity units via the pull-down menu.
The formula for the speed of the belt is:
BS = (D •π • R)/(2π) = ½•D•RPM where:
1) BS is the Belt Speed
2) D is the diameter of the pulley
3) RPM is the rotation rate (rpms) of the pulley
Here the D=2 and RPM = 30
So the conveyor belt speed is = 7.97 cm/sec

V. WORK
In this paper, an efficient algorithm for grading lemon fruits is developed and implemented in visual basic environment. The
system consists of two CCD cameras, two capture cards, an appropriate lighting system, a personal computer and other mechanical
parts. The algorithm initially extracts the fruit from the background. The samples of different grades of lemon are situated in front
of the cameras and are

selected and rejected products will be monitor online on the website cloud server In the previous paragraphs it has been shown how
an IoT application for belt conveyor systems like the smart idler concept can be developed using the characteristics of IoT systems
and Big Data.
Although the concept has been developed, and still is under further development, it has not yet been implemented in a large-scale
belt conveyor.
The main reason is the worldwide situation of the mining industry. The smart idler concept has been tested extensively under
laboratory conditions in all kind of different configurations and the system works fine.
The RFID sensor nodes in the meantime have been further developed to an eco-nomical viable concept. However, in practice it is
not always easy to convince the procurement department of a mine to invest in technology on forehand.
Unexpected downtime of a large-scale belt conveyor may cost up to $ 300,000. If the idler rolls where the cause of this downtime
then this could have been prevented by using the smart idler concept.
The IoT application described in the previous paragraphs only concerned the idler rolls. There are however two other examples of a
combination of the IoT and a BMHT system; a belt scraper system and the conveyor belt inspection system.
