Abstract: The growing demand for efficient post-harvest processing has led to the development of automated fruit sorting systems. This paper presents a fruit sorting machine that categorizes fruits based on their weight. The system is designed to enhance productivity, reduce human error, and maintain consistency in grading. It utilizes a microcontroller to weigh individual fruits and sort them into predefined categories using actuated mechanisms. The machine is cost-effective, easy to operate, and suitable for small- to medium-scale agricultural applications. This innovation not only reduces manual labour but also ensures uniformity in fruit quality for market distribution.

Keywords: Automatic sorting, fruit grading, weight-based classification, agricultural automation, microcontroller system, post-harvest technology, smart farming, quality control, embedded system, productivity enhancement.
