| dc.description.abstract | The field of automation has a notable impact in a wide range of industries beyond
manufacturing. Automation plays an increasingly important role in the world economy.
Filling is a task carried out by a machine that packages liquid products such as cold drinks
or water. In past, humans were the main method for controlling a system. More recently,
electricity has been used for control and electrical control is based on microcontrollers for
various purposes like medicines, pharmaceutical plants, chemical plants etc. There
microcontrollers control the complete working of the system. It is common to use
microcontrollers to make simple logical control decision. The automation in bottle filling
industry comes with increased electrical components. Essential requirements of each
component in the system is important to be studied in ordered to understand how each part
works in coordination with other parts in the system. This study mainly includes design,
fabrication and control system for automated bottle filling system. The main part is control
system which includes C programming in Arduino microcontroller to control various
components in system. A conveyor system with sensors and electromagnetic valve is
fabricated for this purpose. The entire sequence of operation is controlled by Arduino
microcontroller. In small industries bottle filling operation is done manually. The manual
filling process has many shortcomings like spilling of water while filling it in bottle, equal
quantity of water may not be filled, delay due to natural activities of human etc. This
problem faced by small industries compels to design this system. This proposed system is
meant for small industries. It aims to eliminate problem faced by small scale bottle filling
system. With this system which operates automatically, every process can be smooth and
the process of refilling can reduce worker cost and operation cost. | en_US |
