The manufacturing systems used to automatically fill seal and pack food products is referred as Form Fill Seal (FFS) technology. The FFS technology aims to reduce human intervention and thereby reducing contamination of the food products. This requirement is primarily found in Food and Pharmaceutical industries. The production rate in these machines is optimized through accurate time control of the packing process. The sequential steps involved are pack formation, content filling and pack sealing. The current system under study is not economical for short production, multi-ply packing and cannot self-adjust for different widths of bag. To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the existing system, a low-cost automation system is proposed which uses standardized electrical, mechanical and pneumatic systems. Additional weigh and pour mechanisms were included to increase the accuracy of the system. A mechatronics system, developed for this machine is controlled by a Dual Core PIC Microcontroller, which is capable of receiving feedback from sensors and controlling the actuators accordingly. The low-cost automation system involved the mechanical system design, Finite Element Analysis of the mechanical system, electronic circuit design, control system design and HMI programming. The proposed system has increased the production rate at an optimum cost and also the machine size is reduced by five percent. With the increase in production rate and machine size, the developed machine can play a vital role in improving the outcome of a manufacturing system.

Home Security Systems are very important features of modern residential and office setups. This system is used to keep home safe from harmful gases, fire and intruders. It must be affordable, reliable and effective. In this paper, a GSM based home security system has been designed and implemented. The system consists of a GSM Module, MQ-2 smoke detector, Ultrasonic sonar sensor, LM35 temperature sensor, Arduino Uno and relay module. The MQ-2 smoke detector is used to detect harmful gases i.e. LPG, CH4, CO, Alcohol, Smoke or Propane. Any of the harmful gases stated above is detected it will warn the owner by activating the buzzer and displaying a warning message on the LCD display. It will also send a SMS to the owner. Our system can also measure temperate and if the temperature is increased above a certain range it will compensate it by activating Air Conditioner through the relay module. The system will also send a SMS to the owner. It can also detect intruders using Ultrasonic sensor and warn us through buzzer, SMS and displaying message on the LCD. Our system is reliable as it has very fast response and cost effective and it has been developed using our own technologies.

Internet of Things (IoT) conceptualizes the idea of remotely connecting and monitoring real world objects through the Internet. Home monitoring and home automation are utilized in order to uphold the comfortable living conditions within a home. This IoT project focuses on building a smart wireless home automation system. A low cost flexible and reliable home automation system with additional security using Arduino microcontroller, with IP connectivity through local Wi-Fi for accessing and controlling devices by authorized user remotely using Smart phone application. The proposed system is server independent and uses Internet of Things to control human desired appliances starting from industrial machine to consumer goods. To demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of this system, we present a home automation system using Arduino IDE software and ESP-32 microcontroller as a connectivity module. It helps the user to control various appliances such as light, fan, TV and can take decision based on the feedback of sensors remotely

This paper aims to study for accurate sheet trim shower position for paper making process. An accurate position is required in an automation system. A mathematical model of DC motor is used to obtain a transfer function between shaft position and applied voltage. PID controller with Ziegler-Nichols and Hang-tuning rule and Fuzzy logic controller for controlling position accuracy are required. The result reference explains it that the FLC is better than other methods and performance characteristics also improve the control of DC motor.

In this study, a low-cost and adaptable isometric strength measurement and exercise development system are described. The implemented system consists of mechanical structure, force measurement sensor, electronic circuit, and computer software. Isometric-isotonic (via spring resistance) strength analysis and various exercise programs can be applied with the system. The developed system has a lower cost compared to its counterparts in the literature and has a structure that can be adapted to different machines and measuring methods. The operability and reliability of the isometric strength measurement and exercise development system have been proven by calibration tests.

Antimicrobial Residues

The detection of antimicrobial residues in food products of animal origin is of utmost importance. Indeed antimicrobial residues could be present in animal derived food products because of animal treatments for curative purposes or from illegal use. The usual screening methods to detect antimicrobial residues in food are microbiological, immunological or physico-chemical methods. The development of biosensors to propose sensitive, cheap and quick alternatives to classical methods is constantly increasing. Aptasensors are one of the major trends proposed in the literature, in parallel with the development of immunosensors based on antibodies. The characteristics of electrochemical sensors (i.e., low cost, miniaturization, and portable instrumentation) make them very good candidates to develop screening methods for antimicrobial residues in food products. This review will focus on the recent advances in the development of electrochemical aptasensors for the detection of antimicrobial residues in food products. The contribution of nanomaterials to improve the performance characteristics of electrochemical aptasensors (e.g., Sensitivity, easiness, stability) in the last ten years, as well as signal amplification techniques will be highlighted.
