Design and implementation of wireless batch counting device for brewery

Thesis Overview

<p> </p><p><strong>RADIO FREQUENCY BASED WIRELESS BATCH COUNTING DEVICE FOR BREWERY</strong></p><p><strong>1.1. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </strong><strong>Background of the Study</strong></p><p>Owing to the high rate of industrial espionage and theft, industrial security techniques need to be improved to arrest/combat pilfering in industries. &nbsp;This project work tries to bring in an improved security measure which can be used to check pilfering in Brewery industries. &nbsp;Pilfering of bottled drinks is a common theft in Breweries. &nbsp;And this act is perpetrated in the conveyor before a standalone counting device takes account of it. &nbsp;This has a tremendous effect on the stature of the fire if it is not properly checked, could lead to liquidation and bankrupts of the firm.</p><p>Conventionally, there is a batch counting device that counts the bottled drinks and displays the values numerically at same spot carrier criminals who pilfer the products divert it before the counter. &nbsp;This chronology in social vices in the brewery industry has motivated me to embark on a project that is capable of counting/the bottled drinks in the capable of counting/the bottled drinks in the conveyor and display the value numerical and wirelessly (using Rf transmission waveband) to its receiver installed about 100m away. &nbsp;This device will count the product before it gets to the standalone version. &nbsp;This technique will help to check pilfering and bring industrial espionage to halt.</p><p><strong>1.2. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </strong><strong>Problem Statement</strong></p><p>Brewery industries all over world face the problem of pilfering of the products by the workers most frequently in the conveyer. This menace gave way to the development of a stand alone batch counting device which is usually installed in the conveyors to record the total number of bottled products. This techniques is facing serious threat since the bad-eggs pilfer/divert the products before it gets to the counter.</p><p>Owing to the challenges mentioned above, there is need to develop a system which will be installed at the entry point of the conveyors to count the products without the consent of the workers and display the value to a receivers unit &nbsp;installed in the manager office using Radio-frequency technology.</p><p><strong>1.3. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </strong><strong>Aims and Objectives</strong></p><p>The aim of this project is to design and implement a Radio frequency based wireless batch counter capable of counting bottled drinks/products and display it at a remote location.</p><p>1. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;To develop system which can communicate using Radio frequency technology.</p><p>2. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;To develop an opto coupler module which can detect opaque objects like bottle using laser diode and visible light</p><p>3. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;To develop a 2-digit decimal counting unit which can count from 00-99.</p><p>4. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; To develop a system</p> <br><p></p>
