Abstract: AMPARO, REXEL B. and CORTEZ, EMILIA M. .“Development of an Automated Egg Sorter”. Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BS CoE). Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2001. Adviser: Mrs Aileen V. Rocillo. The Development of an Automated Egg Sorter was constructed in Halang, Amadeo, Cavite. It was tested and evaluated at the Department of Animal and Veterinary Science, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite on December 8, 2000. The study was constructed to test the performance of the Automated Egg Sorter and to control the system by using C++ programming language. To automatically sort the eggs, one had to put the eggs in the input bin, upon reaching the input sensor, the sorting began using the machine by getting the eggs into the input bin, putting it into the weighing scale and placing it in the output bin provided that the computer and the necessary Circuits were ON. Afterwards, the eggs were placed in their respective output bins. The computer Screen displayed the categories and its total number of eggs. The total number of eggs in every category automatically increased as the eggs passed through the output sensors. The system had four main parts: the prototype sorting machine, the interface card, the circuitry and the software. In addition, the circuitry was composed of the motor driving circuit, power supply and sensor circuits. Moreover, the interface card was made up of comparators, NAND gates, and the 8255 programmable peripheral interface. Furthermore, the sorting machine was composed of sensors, DC and stepper motors. The system automatically sorted and counted eggs automatically. It had an accuracy of 100% and the time consumed to sort 50 eggs was 16 minutes. The total cost of the system was P 12 588.50. The results showed that the design was accurate in terms of sorting according to the eggs weight but as compared to the manual way of sorting eggs in terms of speed, they were almost of the same speed. It was recommended to use a higher specification of the DC motor for the lifting of eggs and enhance the software to be used in controlling the motors.

The Development of an Automated Egg Sorter was constructed in Halang, Amadeo, Cavite. It was tested and evaluated at the Department of Animal and Veterinary Science, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite on December 8, 2000.

The study was constructed to test the performance of the Automated Egg Sorter and to control the system by using C++ programming language. To automatically sort the
eggs, one had to put the eggs in the input bin, upon reaching the input sensor, the sorting began using the machine by getting the eggs into the input bin, putting it into the weighing scale and placing it in the output bin provided that the computer and the necessary Circuits were ON.

Afterwards, the eggs were placed in their respective output bins. The computer Screen displayed the categories and its total number of eggs. The total number of eggs in every category automatically increased as the eggs passed through the output sensors.

The system had four main parts: the prototype sorting machine, the interface card, the circuitry and the software. In addition, the circuitry was composed of the motor driving circuit, power supply and sensor circuits. Moreover, the interface card was made up of comparators, NAND gates, and the 8255 programmable peripheral interface.

Furthermore, the sorting machine was composed of sensors, DC and stepper motors.

The system automatically sorted and counted eggs automatically. It had an accuracy of 100% and the time consumed to sort 50 eggs was 16 minutes. The total cost of the system was P 12 588.50.
