Roller shutters are usually defined as a vertical revolving barrier at the entrance of building or room, traditionally made of metal or wood, which its leafs, curtains or slats will be rolled upwards during its opening position and downwards during closing position. Due to the advancement of new inventions, roller shutters are also made of various materials such as aluminum, plastic, coupled with other insulations. The advantage of using roller shutter is for space efficiency and to provide a clear unobstructed opening, while completely securing and compartmentalizing the entrance hole during closure. it is a type of door or window shutter consisting of many horizontal slats (or sometimes bars or webbed systems) hinged together. The shutter is raised to open it and lowered to close it. Roller shutters have many applications, including doors for garages, warehouses, shops, etc. These shutters over the years, if not maintained properly get rusted, and it takes lot of effort to lift them, usually this effort is so high that it can cause back injury to the operator, thus it is important to design a motorized system which can facilitate the opening and closing of shutter by the press of the button and thus reduce the back injuries.
