Abstract

In Recent days manufacturing-based industries playing a crucial role in this fast-developing world. Conveyor system is a machinery that serves an important role in processing and transportation of products in manufacturing units. Hence, these are widely used all around the world extensively. Using conveyor system has many advantages both productivity wise and labour cost wise, this approach is best suited for large scale rather than small and medium scales. Due to its maintenance, operational cost it is restricted to large scale only. The conveyor model that we are proposing is designed specifically for small scale units. Having this Arduino based the working of this model is simple and easy to implement. We use this model to fill empty bottles that are placed on conveyor belt. The bottles that are to be transported goes through three stages (1) detection stage, (2) filling stage and (3) dispatch stage. To drive the conveyor a DC gear motor is installed to the axel of the conveyor. The speed can be regulated by microcontroller (Arduino mega 2560). This motor speed is regulated by L298N voltage driver module. Motor speed is depended on the position of the bottle on the conveyor belt. if it is not in ultrasonic sensor range the speed would be maximum or else the motor stops rotating until the bottle is filled. The best part of this system is the load cell that is used to measure the volume of liquid poured into the bottle so that the bottle is filled accurately.
