PLC control for synchronous pick and place operation of robotic arm with conveyer belt

Abstract

The title of this Final Year Project (FYP) is "Plc control for synchronous pick and place operation of robotic arm with conveyer belt" in order to develop a complete mechatronic system with the highest feasible effectiveness and preciseness for the management of parcels. It integrates robotic and conveyor systems to sort parcels and handle them automatically, with minimal reliance on manual work. The foremost objective is the development of a well-documented, functional system that will be an effective learning platform for the learners. The resultant system enables hands-on experience in major components of mechatronic automation, including C.V. (Computer Vision), robotic manipulators, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and industrial instrumentation. Robotic conveying systems achieve massive improvements in efficiency, scalability, and safety, so they can be viewed as a solution to contemporary challenges in parcel management. Furthermore, the project emphasizes the integration of real-time tracking and monitoring, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability, aligning with contemporary industry standards and practices.
