    IV. CONCLUSION

    The developed model of automatic material sorting is


    excellent because of its working principle and wide
    implementation. By applying the idea of this model
    an industry can easily sort the required product
    according to its demand. Thus the manual based tasks
    and operations are reduced as it does not involve
    labor work for sorting of product, the object sorting
    process gets faster as compared to manual sorting,
    thereby reducing the handling and inspection time to
    minimal, hence reducing the manpower cost and
    time. There are some limitations, but due to
    flexibility of the system certain modifications can be
    done and these limitations can be eliminated and this
    concept can be implemented in the various material
    handling applications. This model can be used in
    packaging industry, quality check for industrial use,
    in production lines to check the dimensions of
    product etc. As the construction is flexible in nature,
    various sensors to detect various faults can be used in
    future.
