ABSTRACT

This report is about smart bottle packing system. The main focus of this thesis is to study
the application of the packing system with producing a machine that can use in industry
to pack bottle into carton. This project is also to optimize the usage of the machine for
the industry purpose.
The system can perform very quickly and to improve their production. In the production
this packaging machinery, must have some tools will help calculate bottle number to be
segregated by grouping. In the packing industry, several different types of packages
have been employed in the marketing of bottled products, and widely accepted by users,
particularly, for such products as bottled beverages, which are conveniently arranged in
double row relation and enclosed in a carton or wrapper.

In addition, it is generally loaded by dropping the bottles in the cells fiom the top which
presents an undesirable bottle breaking hazard. There are also certain disadvantages in
its production and subsequent handling.

ABSTRAK


Laporan ini mengenai sistem pembungkusan botol yang kemaslteratur. Fokus utarna
tentang tesis ini adalah untuk mempelajari aplikasi sistem pembungkusan dengan
membina mesin yang boleh digunakan di dalam industri untuk memasukkan botol ke
dalam kotak. Projek ini juga turut mengoptimiskan penggunaan mesin untuk kegunaan
industri.
Sistem ini boleh beroperasi dengan cepat dan dapat meningkatkan produksi. Dalam
penghasilan mesin pembungkusan hi, perlu ada beberapa alat yang akan membantu
menghitung bilangan botol untuk diasingkan secara berkumpulan. Dalam industri
pernbungkusan, beberapa perbezaan jenis bungkusan yang telah digunakan dalam
pemasaran produk-produk pembotolan, dan diterima dengan meluas oleh penggunapengguna, terutamanya, untuk produk-produk minuman yang dibotolkan kerana, yang
wujud dengan mudah disusun dalam hubungan dua baris dan dilampirkan dalam satu
karton atau pembungkus.
Tambahan pula, ia biasanya dimasukkan dengan menurunkan botol-botol ke dalam selsel dari atas yang di mana akan mengakibatkan botol-botol yang pecah. Terdapat juga
keburukan-keburukan tertentu dalam pengeluarannya dan pengendalian yang berturutan.

DEDICATION

For M y Parents and Friends.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT


First of all, I would like to express my thanks to the thesis supervisor, Encik Shariman
Bin Abdullah for unwavering support, guidance and advice, time and thoughtful
contribution throughout this project.
With all the difficulty that I have been through while doing this thesis, I feel very
grateful that I manage to finish the report at last. Hopefully this report could help those
who are interested in this field and contribute something valuables to education field.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all my fiends who has given me ideas
and comments on my thesis. And not forget to my mother and father. Thank you.
