Automated dish sorter using arduino

Commonly, the food court has a few stalls. Each stall uses a different set of colors for its plates. The customer usually places the plate in one place such as the basin provided. All the plates in the basin are unsorted. Sorting a pile of plates manually according to the stall’s plate takes a long time for the worker. To overcome this problem, this study proposes an automated dish sorter using a microcontroller by applying the fuzzy logic method. An Arduino Uno microcontroller was used to control the process and a TCS3200 color sensor was used to detect the color of the plates. The fuzzy logic helps in the sorting process of the plate for each stall automatically. The result of this prototype is being able to sort the plates according to their color correctly into the respective bins.
