People are not reliable inspectors-human being have limited attention span; they easily get tired and distracted. Imagine the tedious procedure a worker has to go through sorting out a bunch of rubber bands according to their colors, sorting nuts &screws according to specified sizes, or even sorting flame oil fruits according to their grades (taking into account the shape, color and size). This fully automatic sorting machine (ASM) basically consists of a PC-based controller (with pre-installed Labview) and a connected USB camera. ASM not only sorts objects, it can also be used for product inspection. Surface defects (cuts, chips, stains, pores and mounting positions) on electronic components such as ICs, resistors and capacitors can be easily detected. The priorities considered during the invention of ASM are cost, reliability, speed, safety and most importantly, ease of use and simplicity; thanks to the added touch-screen, GUI and HMI features. The voice and tower light features are great for operators that multitask. ASM also promotes good housekeeping, eliminates the usage of hand, thus reducing possibility of surface damage to product. Another interesting feature of this product is that data are collected and displayed on-screen concurrently with the sorting process. Users can view the statistics(current number of objects, percentage and pie chart) according to specified category. Future recommendations would be incorporating SMS and email features to inform supervisors on the completion of the sorting process for each lot, complete with the statistical information. Due to ASM???s flexibility for modification, we would recommend its future usage in the agribusiness sorting (palm oil fruits, dried fruit/vegetables), pharmaceuticals and in electronics quality control (product measurement detection).
