AUTOMATIC BOTTLE FILLING MACHINE

Abstract

The field of automation has a notable impact in a wide range of industries beyond
manufacturing. Automation is the use of control systems and information technologies to reduce
the need for human work in the production of goods and services. In the scope of
industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization. Whereas mechanization provides
human operators with machinery to assist them with the muscular requirements of work,
automation greatly decreases the need for human sensory and mental requirements as well.
Filling is a task carried out by a machine that packages liquid products such as cold drinks or
water. The bottle filling project serves as an interdisciplinary engineering design experience. It
introduces aspects of computer, electronics and mechanical engineering, including the following
five primary knowledge areas: • Machining & Fabrication • Electronics circuit prototyping and
Programming • Sensor and Actuator application • Mechanical design • Project Planning •
Presentation Skills.

Objective

The aim of this project is to design a microcontroller Based automatic bottle filling system that
sense the presence of bottle and fills it accordingly up to a fixed level. In this project we
developed proximity sensor using infrared sensor that detects the presence of bottle.
