Abstract

By automating the sorting of wooden products according to their geometric shapes, the automatic wood shapes sorting mechanism that uses a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is intended to improve efficiency and accuracy in the wood processing sectors. This system uses sensors to recognize various wooden component shapes on a conveyor belt, including rectangular, cylindrical, and irregular shapes. The PLC receives shape data from the sensors, processes it, and sets actuators to move the wood to the proper sections or bins for additional processing. PLC integration guarantees the sorting process's flexibility, dependability, and real-time control, enabling high-speed sorting with less need for human interaction. This technique increases overall production throughput while lowering labor expenses and sorting error rates.
