Abstract
The implementation of an automatic weight printing system using a loadcell conveyor represents a pivotal advancement in modern industrial processes. This innovative system addresses the critical need for precision and automation in weight measurement and labelling, particularly in the context of pharmaceutical product packaging. By seamlessly integrating components such as digital speed control, relay, Arduino mega microcontroller, ultrasonic sensor, loadcell, HX711 module, inkjet printer, and a rs232 to TTL converter module. this system revolutionizes the efficiency and accuracy of weight-related tasks. The testing phase of the loadcell conveyor system confirmed the system’s accuracy and reliability in weigh measurement. The result revealed a consistent characteristic.
