 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
• “The automated microcontroller-based liquid mixing system provides a very satisfactory
performance with a minimal percentage error.” (Dr. A. S. C. S. Sastry, 2016)

• “PLC automatic liquid filling process that this application of automation illustrating a PLC
(programmable logic controller) based fully automatic untouched liquid filling and mixing
system. The system meets the demand of highspeed production using the least
mechanism requirements. The system has proved to work effectively avoiding
unnecessary spill or wastage of liquids. The system also provides high accuracy and
precision in proportion of liquid filling and mixing.” (Shaukat N, 2016)

• “Automated Bottle Filling & Capping Machine using ARDUINO. This system can perform
the task of autonomous quality control system used in industrial production and it is most
suitable for small scale industries.” (M. Lakshmeesha, 2018)

 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Studies suggest that Automatic Detergent Filling Machine are much more efficient
than manual filling. It is much faster, accurate, labor cost efficient and lastly can reduce
the time when filling.

● The manual filling process has many shortcomings like spilling of water while filling it in bottle,
equal quantity of water may not be filled, delay due to natural activities of human etc. (Patil, V. S. ,
2018)

● The main advantage of fully-automated manufacturing is high production rate. Less human
resources required compared to the manual production. (R. Roman, 2017)

 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study will be focusing on the utilization of an automatic filler
machine for liquid detergent bottles, as the current system for filling the
bottles in the (factory name) still rely on manual labor. Manually filling the
bottles is not only time consuming but also it is quite a tedious task that
would generate a higher risk of errors, more specifically, human errors in the
filling process. This study aims to design and develop an automatic filling
machine that can improve the efficiency and accuracy of the filling process.

 SCOPE AND LIMITATION
This study aims to design and develop an automatic filling machine for liquid detergent bottles to
address the inefficiencies and errors associated with the current manual filling process. The study will
focus on identifying the necessary components and design specifications for the machine, developing
a control system that ensures accurate and precise filling, and determining the optimal filling capacity
and rate for different sizes of bottles.
Limitations:

1. The study will only focus on the filling process of liquid detergent bottles and will not cover other
types of containers or products.

2. The study will only consider the use of the automatic filling machine for liquid detergent bottles in
the specific factory environment and may not be applicable to other factories or industries.

3. The study will not cover the environmental impact of the filling process or the machine.

4. The study will not cover the production or assembly process of the filling machine.

 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study has the potential to benefit a range of industries, including factories that produce liquid
detergent, as well as any industry that requires efficient and accurate bottle or container filling.

Benefits to the end users:

· Improved production efficiency: An automatic filling machine that can reduce time and labor
needed for filling liquid detergent bottles, enhancing production efficiency.

· Increased filling accuracy: The use of an automated systems that minimize human error and
ensure accurate and consistent filling of detergent bottles.

· Cost savings: An automatic filling machine can reduce labor costs and improve cost-effectiveness
by minimizing the need for manual labor in the production process.

· Safety: An automated filling systems that can reduce accidents and minimize spillage, ensuring
worker safety and minimizing product waste or damage.
