Abstract- -This paper presents an automatic load segregation using plc. Heavy loads are often transported and handled in various industrial applications, such as manufacturing, mining, construction, and logistics. However, different types of heavy loads may require different methods of processing, storage, or disposal. Therefore, it is important to segregate heavy loads according to their characteristics, such as size, shape, weight, material, or function. This proposes an automatic material segregation system using PLC (programmable logic controller) to achieve this task. The system consists of three main components: a sensor unit, a controller unit, a relay unit and a segregation unit. The segregation unit performs the output actions based on the commands from the controller unit and directs the heavy loads to the corresponding bins or conveyors using actuators, such as DC motors, relays, solenoids, etc. The system is designed and implemented using SELPRO Version 5.4.3 and we can also implement by using software’s like Allen Bradley PLC and GX Works3 software. The system is tested and evaluated using different types of heavy loads and shows satisfactory performance in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. The system can be applied to various industrial scenarios where heavy load segregation is needed.
