- 2. INTRODUCTION • The word “Automation” itself emphasizes on making a typical process automatic which in turn will reduce the human work and thus will promote productivity. • Industries will be productive only when they will adopt to the high-end technology available in the markets. • We are mainly focused on a cost efficient and time conservation.

- 4. REVIEW OF LITERATURE • AN AUTOMATED BOTTLE FILLING AND CAPPING PROJECT FOR FRESHMAN ENGINEERING STUDENTS –June 2005 In this paper the researchers Kala Meah, Timothy Garrison , York College of Pennsylvania at all.. The students work in small teams and have roughly 12 weeks to design an automated electromechanical system that first transports three empty bottles, three tennis balls. The machine must fill each bottle. of water, cape each bottle by covering the top with a tennis ball, and then deliver the capped and filled bottles to an area outside of the operational zone. • PLC Based Automatic Bottle Filling and Capping System With User Defined Volume Selection -8thAugust 2012 In This Research Paper the researchers T.Kalaiselvi, R.Praveenaat have develop an automatic bottle, filling and capping system with a mechanism using sensors. Automatic filling process for all the bottles simultaneously with a user defined selection for volume to be filled.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE • DIFFERENTHEIGHT USING PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER –14th July 2013 In This Research Paper the researcher MALLARADHYA H M, K R PRAKASH have Design and Develop an automated liquid filling to bottles of different height using PLC. A total control is made in a filling is achieved. The programming to this system developed is flexible, quickly and easily. • PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) BASED AUTOMATIC BOTTLE FILLING -3rd may 2015 In This Research Paper the researcher Jaymin Patel Department Of Physics and Electronics of Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University, Patanhas develop a bottle filling system based on certain specifications. More features can be added to this system as follows: Depending on the size, shape and weight of the bottles, Filling operations can be implemented. AUTOMATIC LIQUID FILLING TO BOTTLES OF

- 7. BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION • The system consists of sections like Filling unit, sensory unit and filling control unit. • The filling unit comprises of • Reservoir • Pump • Tank • Solenoid valve • The sensory unit comprises of the Photo electric sensor. • Empty bottles are processed into the filling unit and then sensed by Photo electric sensor and the entire filling unit is activated and the empty bottles are filled. • After filling process gets over, the filled bottles are then driven out by DC motor(conveyor belt).

- 9. IR Sensor: An infrared sensor is an electronic device, that emits in order to sense some aspects of the surroundings. An IR sensor can measure the heat of an object as well as detects the motion. These types of sensors measures only infrared radiation, rather than emitting it that is called as a passive IR sensor. DC Motor: • 60RPM 12V DC motors with Gearbox • 6mm shaft diameter with internal hole • 125gm weight • 2kgcm torque • Load current = 300 mA(Max) COMPONENT SPECIFICATION/SOFTWARE DETAILS

- 11. COMPONENT SPECIFICATION/SOFTWARE DETAILS PLC: • Ladder-logic and structured-text programming • Advanced instruction set including file handling, sequencer, diagnostic, shift register, immediate I/O, and program control instructions • Built-in RS-232/422/423 communication port • DeviceNet and ControlNet I/O on selected processors • One or more on-board ports that can be configured for either Data Highway Plus™ (DH+) or Universal Remote I/O • Universal Remote I/O ports can be configured as an I/O scanner port or an I/O adapter port
- 12. PROJECT BUDGET APPROXIMATE ESTIMATION We expect to finish this project with an approximate estimation of ₹3000.
- 13. CONCLUSION • The purpose of this project is to develop a PLC based automatic bottle filling system plant, which consumes less time and cost efficient. • We gained more knowledge about various processes directly used in industries such as filling, capping etc. which are used in automation system in which we specifically learnt about Programmable Logical Controller (PLC).
