Abstract: This paper presents automation of packing system for Atta kneader. In production industries, Packaging is one of the important operations. The main aspect is to automate the packing system of Atta Kneader with wooden box and closing using power screw. The purpose of study is to replace manual handling of Atta Kneader to fully automatic as manual handling is time consuming and requires more man power. The Raspberry pi 3 is used to control the entire system. Proximity sensor and Force sensor are used to detect the presence of Atta Kneader and to check the weight. The motor, Robot arm, Mechanical gripper, rollers and pneumatic fasteners are used to automate the packing system. An experimental prototype is done to automate the packing system completely. The advantage is it decreases production time and increases product rate. About 80% of the packaging is completely automatic without human intervention.
Keyword: Robot Arm, Atta Kneader, Wooden and Cardboard, Pneumatic Fasteners.
