Energy Optimization of Large Scale Conveyor Belt Design

Abstract

The technological advancements in process monitoring, control and industrial automation have played a decisive role in increasing the industrial productivity and manufacturing at faster pace even than been dreamed. An ultimatum requirement is an accurate and precise data acquisition mechanism which can be executed through diverse sensors especially for collecting, analyzing and sorting the objects and elements. In this work, an energy efficient conveyor system model is proposed and implemented which not only recognizes and sorts the objects by infrared sensor. The conveyor belt speed will be control through a mobile phone. The proposed system optimally switches the conveyor system to on/idle/off status to minimize the energy consumption of conveyor belts
