Abstract
With recent advances in industrial technologies, automation has become an indispensable part in the manufacturing world. Industrial environments are adopting more and more aspects of automation to increase product quality, accuracy, and reduce product costs. Conveyor systems are used wildly in manufacturing industries. This automated conveyor system works by detecting the size of the material in the conveyor using ultrasonic sensors. The microcontroller analyses this data from the ultrasonic sensor and then directs the pneumatic cylinder material to different directions, height-wise, depending on the height of the material. The position of the conveyor is indicated by a 16X2 liquid crystal display and LED. This project thus automates the material separation process in the conveyor to improve efficiency and increase productivity.
