Automation is a need of time. With the increasing speed of life, the demand to perform tasks at a higher speed is being laid out too. This has ultimately led to a massive increase in the number of vehicles. To clean these vehicles there is a need for a proper washing system. The most common problem often encountered while cleaning these vehicles is time-consuming and overuse of water; one of the problems is overuse of water, in- country like the time there are still places where people don't get water for 10-15 days and we are wasting the water for the just car wash. time is a commodity that needs to be managed effectively and efficiently to maximize productivity. So, this project is developed to reduce the time to clean vehicles. In developed countries, automatic car washing system is already implemented and being used extensively but in developing countries like India, it's still uncommon and has a lot of potential for developing this system. In this automatic car washing project, we have used a conveyor belt on which the car will go through the various washing stages. When we press a switch conveyor belt on which the car is initially brought by a serviceman starts moving. Sensors are placed at the platform adjacent to the moving conveyor belt at different places for car detection. When the first sensor senses the car, the process is turned on and the conveyor starts moving. In this process, several stages are followed for the entire car washing named as soap water cleaning, brushing, clean water pouring drying. Hence the exterior of the car will be washed and this process is controlled by the PLC. Whether the exterior of the car is cleaned properly or not can be easily detected by the machine vision algorithm. in this, we have used the machine vision algorithm to check whether the car is cleaned or dusty before and after washing.
