This machine, as its name suggests, sorts candies based on their color. For this, it uses a TCS230 color sensor, an Arduino Uno and two servo motors. This machine finds its application in factories where it is necessary to sort a large number of candies. It’s easy to use, just put candies in the tube on top and turn it on. It uses two servo motors for sorting. One brings the candy to a color sensor that reads the color and based on that the second servo motor turns. It is very practical and takes up very little space. It is not demanding for maintenance. It is not expensive to manufacture, which enables the automation of production.
