AN AUTOMATED COLOR-BASED SORTING SYSTEM WITH A CAPTURE AND PLACEMENT MECHANISM

This project offers a fully automated industrial solution for sorting work pieces based

on their gray, green, and blue colors. Each colored work piece is fed into its designated path,

and at the end of each path, a robotic arm is used to pick up the work pieces. The system

integrates PLC control with sensory feedback and arm control to enhance production efficiency

and accuracy. Traditional control techniques were used, as well as TIA Portal software for logic

development and Factory IO for 3D simulation. The project also demonstrated a robust

"capture and place" architecture that reduces human intervention and material waste.
