Design and Fabrication of Color Based Automatic Sorting Machine

Abstract

Nowadays, the main obstacle that is encountered after the production is of sorting. Arranging items in an industry is a dull modern process, which is by and large done physically. As a result, an automated system for sorting is greatly needed to replace a manual sorting system. Automation has and will continue to lead to the growth of industries. In this paper, we have recommended  an automated system that sorts objects according to their color using TCS230 color sensor, Raspberry Pi 3B+( Raspbian Operating System), Conveyor belt, and servo motors. The identification of the color is based on the frequency analysis of the output of the color sensor. This machine is open-ended and can be further used to sort products based on their weights, size, material, etc. by using a different type of sensor and some changes in the code.
