Automatic Rotary Material Storage System Using RFID

Mechanical Engineering

Now days in industry, materials (which are available in raw material, finished parts, assembly parts etc.) are kept in a storeroom with stock and mix-up parts to each other which may be. Storage compartments rotate by using chain and sprocket mechanism. It is simple to damage. So, secure tools, raw material, manufactured parts, and assembly parts of industry have stored in rotary storage system. This system is very useful for material storage in industrial applicationoperate with the employee to store the material in the system at the ground level. Each employee has a unique ID for store material in compartments and retrieved material from compartments. Traditional systems have a major disadvantage of large space consumption and damaging material which is successfully eliminated with the use of a rotary storage system. Moreover, the latter provides the added benefits of flexible operation without the need of an attendant and added security and least chances of material damage. Since the model makes use of composite parts, it is easy to assemble and dismantle and is thus more convenient than the traditional storage systems. The idea is to storage and move material with no disturbance to the already stored material in rotary storage system. Once the employee leaves the incorporated safety zone the system rotating to lift the stored material compartment away from the bottom to central position. This leaves an empty compartment available at the ground level for the next material to be stored in. The stored material is easily retrieved by pushing the button for the relevant position number in which material is stored. This causes the required material compartment to rotate down to ground level ready for the employee of industry to enter the safety zone.
