Abstract

According to FreshFruit in the period 2023 the
production of Tahitian lemons was 13 515 tons for USD 14 million
being one of the most important citrus fruits in the Peruvian
economy. This work develops an automated system for the
classification of Tahiti lemons by size and maturity grade from
green to yellow. For the simulation of the classification of Tahiti
lemons by size from 3 to 6 cm, the bottleneck was determined by
direct observation and then the mechanical system was
programmed for the classification by size and degree of maturity
through the detection of color by HSV to classify Tahiti lemons
greater than 10% damage or by maturity, and then obtain the
simulation in Factory IO and TIA PORTAL with connection to
PLC S7-1200 1214 DC/DC/DC and a HMI TP700. Finally, the
grading proposal was implemented in which 100% of the Tahiti
lemons were recognized and packed for export through the
interactive HMI screen, being able to classify and count them
automatically, which has a graphical environment for the operator
to manipulate them.
