Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents a unique design and development of Automated Pepper Sorting Machine (APSM) for industrial application. The design consists of several mechanical and electrical components such as motors, a micro-controller, hoper mechanism, suction tube, belt and pulley. In addition, a gantry crane is used in order to move the suction pipe across the conveyor belt to the exact position of the defective pepper. Furthermore, a camera is attached to the machine to identify defective paper based on colour of the defective pepper. The main purpose of this design is to automate sorting procedure for the pepper industry and to optimize its work efficiency.
