Conveyor Belt Control System with ESP8266 and Servo Motor for Item Sorting
The primary objective is to enhance operational efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and enable seamless integration with IoT-based systems. The system employs an ESP8266 microcontroller to manage the conveyor belt's movement, speed, and direction. Sensors are integrated to detect the presence and type of objects on the belt, measuring their speed and ensuring proper alignment. A servo motor is used to sort items into different bins based on predefined criteria, such as size, color, or type.
The sorting process can be demonstrated effectively by separating objects of different colors using a color sensor. For instance, the system can separate red and blue objects into two different bins. The color sensor detects the color of each item as it moves along the conveyor belt, and the servo motor then directs the item to the appropriate bin.
Collected data is transmitted wirelessly to a cloud server, allowing for real-time analysis and control. A mobile application or web interface enables users to start, stop, and control the conveyor belt remotely, displaying real-time data on the belt's status, such as speed, item count, and sorting performance. Alerts and notifications can be configured to inform users of any issues or required maintenance, ensuring timely intervention and minimizing downtime.
The ESP8266-based conveyor belt control and sorting system offers a cost-effective and scalable solution for industrial automation. It improves operational efficiency, enhances safety, and provides valuable data insights for optimizing conveyor belt performance. This project demonstrates the potential of IoT technologies in transforming traditional manufacturing and material handling processes.
