Automation hypothesis and strategies has increased global productivity in
the last few years of worldwide competition. It influenced a great variety of enterprises
on the manufacturing side through the decline of production time, superior system
performance, and process control. The main purpose of today’s manufacturing system
is to upgrade productivity. The universe is full of technologies that pressure an elevated
amount of production, particularly in industries where automation is needed. To
proceed towards automation, the recent trends in all the industries are required to cope
up with new technologies. The same vision is applied in water bottle filling plants, to
meet the customer demands and to speed up the filling of bottles. Now the process of
filling bottles is conducted by PLC in a large number of production units. Due to the
high cost of the PLC machine, a filling is yet performed manually in small
manufacturing units. The manual filling usually leads to imperfection in the operation
of filling and spikes up the cost of labor. The prime purpose of our project is to design
and develop an automated electro-mechanical bottle filling system, that can reduce the
cost for small-scale en6terprises and assist them to build up an automated factory. The
project proposes aspects of computer, electronics, and mechanical i.e., designing and
modeling, schematic circuit prototyping and programming, sensor and actuator
application, project planning, and presentation skills.
