Fruit Processing System Essay

2. Analysis of current system Figure 1 The complete fruit processing system
The complete fruit processing system is explained in the fig.1. The figure clearly indicates the flow of the process. In the first section of feeder conveyor the fruit which is to be processed is placed on the conveyor panel. The fruit is then processed for the next step of sorting technique which is at presently manually done in the industry.

The complete P&ID flow of the system is attached in the appendix. By observing the flow of the system and the controller used in it the input/output sensory feedback can be evaluated of all the controlling devices required to make a manual system to automatic system.
A small part of the list of controlling devices is mentioned below and the complete list of controlling devices is attached in the appendix. The sensory feedback for the controlling devices is also mentioned in the list of details of the controlling
