Abstract

In the 21st century, IoT (Internet of Things) is the most emerging and trending field, similarly IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) is also an equivalent emerging field among various industries. This paper presents the implementation of the proposed auto truck loading system. The system is used to increase the handling efficiency and production rate of packing plants at varied cement industry through the development of two systems. The first system, Auto Cement Bag Diverter also termed as Variable Distributing Machine variably distributes a number of bags between two conveyors as per the user requirement. The second system, Auto Truck Loading System gets the benefit of higher reaction time due to VDM as bags will arrive at it at certain gaps and it will be easy to handle at such fast pace (3200 bags/hr). Due to VDM, the roto-packer speed of production can be increased considerably and the handle at Loading system will be efficient than the previous loading system. Also, multiple stations can be operated at a time with the double speed of production. VDM will satisfy on social, environmental, economical basis, and overall a sustainable development. The developed system is implemented and installed in cement plant. The significant improvement in terms of the production rate of roto packer and per hour production (in rupees) has been observed.
