Udupi, 27 May 2018: Due to the rise in urbanization, there is a vital need for proper and effective waste management system. Automatic sorting systems are needed to be developed for proper segregation of waste materials. In this direction, the final year students of electronics and communication engineering at Shri Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology & Management (SMVITM), Bantakal, near here, have developed a prototype for effective waste management system by using sensor technology.

 

 

The prototype consists of 3 bins for metal, glass and plastic wastes, with a robotic arm and 2 sensors. As the trash falls on the tray, first the inductive sensor detects the presence of any metal in the proximity. If the object is metal then the sensing plate rotates towards the metal bin, else it goes for further detection process. Next, the capacitive sensor detects the presence of any material other than glass and plastic. If so, the sensing plate rotates towards the biodegradable bin and the material falls into it. If the object is glass or plastic then the sensing plate rotates towards the non- biodegradable bin and the material falls into it. When the respective bins get full, an SMS is automatically sent to the concerned authorities to clear the bins using GSM and Arduino interfaces.

 

The final year students Yashasvi Shenoy, Pooja Shenoy, Vijetha Jain and Sonali Petkar developed the prototype with the guidance of Professor Balachandra Achar.
