Design the automated sorting machine using conveyor belt to need the manufacturing industry in many fields
is a very complex process. The system needs to satisfy industry requisition. This is an industrial automation
based application. It shows the concept of normal conveyor belt, but with some intelligence. We can also call
it as intelligent conveyor belt, as it has also ability to sort the object of different sizes. This helps to avoid size
malfunctioning in production machines. In the core of the project, we are using field programmable gate
array (FPGA). The FPGA is used in PLC and controls the relay and drives relay according to output of photo
interrupter. IR rays in photodiode are used for detection. The objects of different sizes are passed through
the sensors and the object having specified size is sorted. The belt is driven by drive circuit which is controlled
by drive controller. By developing such sorting system the production rate of the manufacturing industry
has been increased since these sorting systems replaced the human resources. Also the accidents in
manufacturing industry can be prevented because the uses of operator in manufacturing floor had been
reduced.
