Development of Automatic Cloth Folding System by Using Arduino Uno Microcontroller and Servo Gears
Abstract
The manual folding processes in various industries are prone to inefficiencies, errors, and delays due to their repetitive and labor-intensive nature. Maintaining consistency in folding techniques is also challenging, resulting in disorganized clothing and potential quality issues. Moreover, the high volumes of laundry in busy households or commercial sectors contribute to inefficient folding process. Therefore, this project proposed an automated cloth-folding system. By using this system, the problems related to folding garments can be solved quickly and neatly. The designed system utilized a combination of ultrasonic sensors, gear servo motors, a power supply, an Arduino Uno microcontroller and a flat board made of plastic with hinges or folding lines that create specific folding templates. The automated cloth-folding system successfully addresses the inefficiencies and challenges associated with manual folding processes, offering a promising avenue for improving speed and consistency in garment folding, particularly for standard-sized items.
