Summary:

Packaging machines are the final step in the manufacturing process and the first step in the transportation process. They may be automatic or semiautomatic and can handle materials packaged in rigid, semirigid, or soft containers and materials not packaged in containers, such as metal castings, sheet metal, rolled metal sections, and lumber. The machines can be set up to handle items of a given standard size or items within the same range of standard sizes, with the necessary adjustments being made either manually or automatically.

Solution:

In Seed Bag Packing Automation System, we have used two Servo Motors, HMI, & PLC. In HMI the set weight can be given. According to the set the seeds are filled in the bag and sealed. If the weight of the bag is more than the set weight it will be rejected. And in the HMI we have gien an option for no. bags it should packed in an hour. The count and weight can be seen in HMI simultaniously.

The two Servo’s are used , one is used in horizantal deirection for cutting the bag. Another one used in verticle direction for sending the packed bags forward for next operation. Because of Automation opeartion we can able to get to know the productivity count and material loss in the process.
