Smart Dimensional Measurement and Material Transportation (SDMMT) System using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

In logistics services, measuring of volumetric weight is done manually. In order to reduce manpower, automation is required. Here we use Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and RV-2FB-Q Series robotic arm for automation. PLC system helps in operating pick & place robotic arm, processing the data acquired through ultrasonic sensors, Light Detecting Resistor, load cell and also controlling (ON/OFF) PMDC motor attached with conveyor belt based on inductive proximity sensor signal. The charges for customers are calculated based on different volumetric weights. Using HMI (Human Machine Interface) a bill is projected to customers. In the end, the right amount for proper volumetric weight can be calculated and collected from the customers. Furthermore, with the use of PLC, the logistics management can be monitored and being connected to other hardware application which improve the operation of parcelling. Hence, customer reliability can be improved and also computation of volumetric weight can be done precisely. Finally, our project leads to achieve industry 4.0
