Automation of coal bunker using arduino controller

Abstract

Coal bunkers are used for the purpose of storing coal in industries. Then the coal stored in the bunker sent to the furnace. In order to increase the life span of boiler and to maintain the accuracy automation is required. Automating the system also reduces the manpower and non-linearity in coal supply. Automation using Arduino controller instead of PID controller is presented. Real-time sensors are used for sensing main parameters like level, temperature, etc.
