Development of Robotic Arm for Color Based Goods Sorter in Factory Using TCS3200 Sensor with a Web-Based Monitoring System

Abstract

This system was made due to frequent errors in performing calculation of goods manufactured manually. The issues can be solved by using a TCS3200 sensor that can identifies the color of goods based on the color that has adjusted. The use of this sensor can be a solution that will help increase the productivity of companies. In this paper, it is described the development of color sensor that is used to sort items by color in the industrial world. Technology of this control system assist in making the Internet of Things products, as well as the mechanical systems in the form of a robot arm which consists of four micro servos are designed to pick up and put stuff in the container. The result of the arithmetic processing of goods displayed through a Web page that has been designed. The achievement is using a micro controller NodeMCU in programming sensor to sort items and adjust into the container. It is also included a solution to the color sensor to recognize colors using search algorithms.
