| ABSTRACT | : Manual bottle filling, capping, and labeling processes in small-scale industries are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to inconsistency, leading to reduced productivity and product quality. Although advanced industrial automation systems are available, their high cost makes them unsuitable for startups in dairy, juice, and bottled water sectors. This project presents the development of a low-cost automatic bottle filling, capping, and labeling system integrated with machine vision for quality monitoring. The system employs an STM32 microcontroller to control the filling, conveyor, and labeling mechanisms using stepper motors, servo motors, and relay modules. An ESP32-CAM module, interfaced with OpenCV, is used for visual inspection of bottles to detect filling level, cap presence, and labeling status. Image processing techniques implemented in OpenCV enable real-time analysis and decision-making, allowing the system to identify faulty bottles and trigger corrective actions. The proposed system is compact, efficient, and significantly reduces manual intervention. The total system cost is maintained under ₹15,000, offering an affordable and practical automation solution for small-scale manufacturers. The results demonstrate the feasibility of integrating low-cost machine vision with embedded control to improve productivity and quality assurance in bottling operations. |
