Version 1.1: The objective of the grain sorter project is to design and develop a simple automated system that can classify grains based on size, color, shape, and quality. The system aims to achieve high sorting accuracy and good processing capacity while minimizing cost, energy consumption, grain damage, and sorting errors.
Version 1.2: The objective of the grain sorter project is to design and develop a simple automated system that classifies grains based on size, color, shape, and quality. The system aims to maximize sorting accuracy and processing capacity while minimizing cost, energy consumption, grain damage, and sorting errors. The design is constrained by factors such as limited budget, motor power, machine size, sensor accuracy, processing capacity, and minimal sorting error.
Version 1.3: The objective of the grain sorter project is to design and develop a simple automated system that classifies grains based on size, color, shape, and quality. The system aims to maximize sorting accuracy and processing capacity while minimizing cost, energy consumption, grain damage, and sorting errors. The design is constrained by limited budget, motor power, machine size, sensor accuracy, processing capacity, and minimal error. The main functions of the system include feeding the grains, controlling their flow, classifying them, separating quality and defective grains, collecting the sorted grains, and monitoring the operation of the machine.
