In this project, our team designed a conveyor system using software tools and engineering calculations to meet specific shipping requirements. The system was tasked with moving packages of varying weights up an incline to designated sorting locations. Motors and scales with sensors were integrated along the conveyor to sort packages based on weight.

Calculations were performed to determine the appropriate motor size, the strength and dimensions of the sorting arms, the power requirements of the drive system, and the overall power consumption and efficiency of the system. Additionally, we developed alternative solutions, performed detailed design analyses, and created comprehensive drawings and a parts list. The design included components such as motors for the belt and sorting mechanism, the conveyor belt, a controller system, and safety switches to ensure reliable and efficient operation.
