Object Separation System Based on Height Differences Automatically

Abstract

Technological advances are now launching the industrial revolution 4.0, where an automation system is an essential tool in the industrial world. In the industrial world, we need a tool that can accelerate and produce processes that can run effectively and efficiently and can improve the quality and needs of production. Therefore a prototype of a high-based object sorting conveyor is controlled by Arduino Uno which controls the automatic item sorting process. This conveyor prototype uses the HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor component with the aim that it can be applied to facilitate the process of selecting objects in the industrial field. Also, Arduino Uno has made a program in advance using a programming language created on specialised software to produce outputs that control the process of sorting objects. This prototype is then programmed to be able to make automatic item selection with a maximum limit of objects that can be accommodated by the conveyor is 200 grams, with variations in the height of the object reaching 1-6 cm. Based on data from the test results, the prototype conveyor has a success rate in selecting objects of ± 92%.
