| Abstract | Mosaic used as a creation of art in the ancient times till present day. Process of producing mosaic had been improved from manual methods to automated methods. Different kinds of mosaic producing methods were developed throughout the time based on different types of concepts. Before produce mosaic art, mosaic tiles have to be sorted according to the color of the tile. Till present day this process is done by using manual labor, so researches failed to look into different color tiles sorting. Currently this sorting process is done by using manual labor and the problem arises when it comes to custom mosaic assembly, since production line does not no what colors need to assemble the mosaic art so tiles has to be sorted out beforehand. Since manual sorting methods are time consuming and less effective this problem has to be addressed. This research intends to develop a concept for different color mosaic tiles of uniform size mosaic tile sorting. The developed concept consists of sorting gate system and mosaic tile storing magazine. The designed tile storing magazine will be store tiles upwards into the magazine and until magazine fill up it store same color tiles. To test the implementation of the developed concept a tile sorting machine was developed to sort different colors and stack same color tiles into the tile storing magazine. The developed tile sorting method was successful in its implementation. |
