Conveyer Belt Product Counting System Using Ardunio.

Abstract

The automatic counting system has been reported to be complex and a global problem. This is because of the inability of counting of machines to incorporate flexibility in their design concept. This research therefore designed and developed an automated counting object of a conveyor belt. The developed automated counting machine can incorporate flexibility and counting pieces of nonmetal objects and at the same time move objects automatically to the conveyer as defined by the regulation of the microcontroller with a capacitive sensor to detect a value range of objects. The result obtained shows that metal and nonmetal were counted into their respective and correct position with a good average time. The project detects objects totally different from various materials and segregates them in huge different boxes. By usage of sensors decreases the errors in sorting and reduces human use. The projected system involves a sensing element, a mini limit switch for sensing elements, and for sorting purposes linear motion electrical actuators area unit used.
