IoT Based Automatic Tyre Sorting System

Abstract

Tyre segregation is one of the indispensible processes in tyre manufacturing industry. In tyre manufacturing industry various size of tyres are examined at segregation unit at a time. Till today the tyre segregation process is done manually which increases the manpower and process time. Tyre sorting is the process of segregating the tyres from different sizes. The sorting process is based on the Geometrical parameter (Inner Diameter, Outer Diameter, Outer Core button Design) of the tyre. This research work is aimed to automate the sorting process of different tyres using Image processing and IOT. This pioneering work depicts a prototype of segregation system which includes the image processing segment to categorize the type of tyres which are fitted for various vehicles. The proposed system consist of Conveyor system, Raspberry pi -3 controller, tyre collecting bin, Servo motor and Image processing camera. This system camera monitors the incoming various tyres from the conveyor, based on the geometrical parameters of the tyres they are segregated and placed in the appropriate tyre collecting bin and the same information is shared to the database through IOT. The proposed model is observed to be very efficient with its counterpart.
