Summary project idea
Manual parcel segregation is a fundamental aspect of efficient logistics
and distribution operations. This process involves categorizing parcels
based on various criteria such as size, weight, destination, or content
type. By implementing effective manual parcel segregation methods,
businesses can enhance accuracy, expedite delivery, and improve
overall workflow efficiency. However, manual parcel segregation can
lead to errors such as misplacement, mislabeling, and incorrect
distribution due to fatigue, distractions, or oversight. This summary
explores innovative approaches to streamline the manual parcel
segregation process, reducing errors and minimizing handling time.
Here we can up with an idea to build a robot who can works
autonomously. A few benefits mention below on how our robot aids the
process of segregation.
1. Save time:-
Robots can work tirelessly and consistently without breaks, enhancing the speed
and efficiency of parcel segregation compared to human labor.
2. High Accuracy:-
Robots equipped with sensors and computer vision technology can accurately
identify, sort, and categorize parcels based on size, shape, and destination.
3. Reduced Human Error:-
Robots eliminate the risk of human errors in parcel sorting, ensuring each parcel is
assigned to the correct distributor or route.
Presenting Robotic Solution
Problem Statement
The process of segregation parcels can be time consuming and cause
errors. Men face difficulties in sorting the parcels especially in
handling large volume efficiently. This leads to delays and mistakes.
Secondly, assigning the right parcels to the right distributors can be a
complex task for manual segregation process. Thirdly. The safety of
works when handling heavy parcels can cause the risk of injuries during
the segregation process.

Mechanism
The smart segregator robot is a helpful parcel segregator used in
harbours which gives updates on the inventory. The robot as 3
conveyor belt mechanisms which is driven by a large motor for each
conveyor belt. The first conveyor belt brings the parcels which are
dropped in the harbours. Each parcel is colour coded to represent
where the delivery hub is situated. The conveyor belt stops when the
ultrasonic sensor senses the parcels. Once it stops the colour sensor
detect the colour code of the parcels and sorting arms pushes the
parcels to the next conveyor belt. The conveyor belt that received the
parcels then carries the parcels upwards to be dropped in the delivery
truck accordingly.

Social Impact & Innovation
Although this robot solves the problem of cutting vegetables and
fruits, there are some improvements that can be made to this robot. In
the future, we will do programming:
to add a camera to carry out image processing on the conveyor to
get the parcel segregated with more precision like size and
colour. By doing that we don’t need colour code for the parcels.
to add gsm or wifi module to the segregator so that it can upload
the inventory of data in the cloud.
