Sorting systems play a crucial role in various industries, as they enable items to be organized and packaged based on specific criteria such as shape, size, or color. Traditionally, sorting has been performed manually, which is both time-consuming and prone to errors due to human limitations. To overcome these challenges, automated sorting systems have emerged as a reliable alternative, providing faster, more accurate and labor-saving solutions for industries requiring high throughput. This project focuses on developing an Arduino-based automated sorting system capable of categorizing objects based on their shape. The proposed system employs an IR sensor to detect and identify the type of product by analyzing its shape. The Arduino microcontroller serves as the central processing unit, controlling the entire sorting process and ensuring smooth communication between the hardware components. Sorting is achieved in this project through a cost-effective and efficient design. The proposed system eliminates the need for manual intervention, offering a highly automated alternative that leverages the capabilities of Arduino UNO and IR sensors. The system detects the presence of objects on a conveyor belt, identifies their shape, and directs them to the appropriate bin through the use of gear motors. The integration of automation in sorting not only enhances productivity but also reduces operational costs, making it an ideal solution for small to medium-scale industries aiming to optimize their production lines. This project demonstrates the potential of utilizing affordable and readily available technologies, like Arduino, to create practical solutions for industrial challenges. By replacing manual sorting with a shape-based automated system, this project contributes to the growing demand for automation in modern industries, paving the way for more efficient, scalable, and reliable sorting mechanisms.
