Well this was going to be our final year project but it got rejected after being accepted by panel members in zeroth review by our HOD mam. If u want to do this project or use the idea of this project seriously after getting all your formalities done, you can contact me. I will help you in getting all your IEEE papers and relevant papers to this project. The reason behind sharing this is that I spend my whole one semester for studying theory part of it, and i was unable to do this but i really want someone to do this project.

3. ABSTRACT
3 10/30/2014
Conventional bottle filling mechanism involved filling single capacity bottles
on a single conveyor belt. This proved to be expensive and less flexible.
This system is going to be an automated varying capacity bottle filling
mechanism. It will be having a robotic arm which will pick out the bottles
from the FIFO racks. Different FIFO racks will house bottles of different
capacities. The robotic arm will be programmed in such a way that it will
choose the minimum number of bottles to be placed on the conveyor belt
depending on the user input, in litres, hence making the system eco-
friendly. It will consist of a tank from where water will flow to the solenoid
valve under the action of gravity. A sensor will sense the presence of a
bottle and it will start moving. The conveyor belt will be having sensors
stacked for detecting the height of the bottle below the valve. Then the
bottles will move forward and will go for the quantity-check process, after
which the user will receive the filled bottles. The user will have the option to
input the litres of water needed. User can see everything through the
Human Interface System, SCADA that will act as a graphical user interface
for the conveyor belt and the filling process.

20. ADVANTAGES
Bottle filling system of desired
litres.
Operated on PLC, so it will use low
DC power supply which can be
implemented through low cost solar
panels.
Robotic arm will be programmed to
choose minimum number of bottles
whatever be the amount of water
the user desires.
It will be made more interactive to
the operator through SCADA.
Ability to detect the capacity of the
bottle.
Ability to differentiate according to
the capacity of the bottles.
Monitored through GSM such that
when the number of bottles will be
less or the tank will have low level
of water, controllers will
automatically be updated.
Can additionally provide quantity
checking.
