Components description
Programmable Logic Controller :
 PLC is programmable controller device use to controller any
system from remote area .

Photo Electric sensor:

 A photoelectric sensor, or photo eye, is an equipment used to discover the distance, absence, or
presence of an object by using a light transmitter.

Relay Module:
 An electrical device, which is activated by a current or
signal to open or close circuit.
Programmable Logic controller
 Mitsubishi
I. Model: FX1S30MR
II. I/O : 30 I/O
III. Number of Inputs 16
IV. Number of outputs 14
V. Programming Language Used Ladder Logic
VI. 512 auxiliary relays, 64 timers, 32 counters, 256 data
registers
Components Description
.
DC motor:
 A DC motor is a class of electrical machines
that converts direct current electrical power into mechanical
power.
I. Speed: 100 rpm
II. Voltage : 12v DC
III. Power : 3 watt
IV. Current: 300mA

Wiper motor:
Gear motors used with conveyor belts that use a very low rotational output
speed to create incredible amounts of torque.
I. Speed: 30 rpm
II. Voltage: 12v DC
III. Current: 7A
Components Description:
Conveyer Belt:
 Conveyer is mechanism which will carry the car .

Water sprinkle :
 It will use for showering the water and shampooing over the car

Water Pump:
 It will Suck the water ,shampoo and it will spraying by water
sprinkle
 Five Stages
1. Initial Stage
2. S1 (Working of Sensor one)
3. S2 (Working of Sensor Two)
4. S3 (Working of Sensor Three)
5. S4 (Working of Sensor Four)
Sensor ONE
 Detect the car
 Give signal to the PLC in form of 12 v
 Stop the wiper Motor
 Allow Pump ONE to sprinkle Shampoo and water
 Allow to sprinkle for time frame given Limited time
delay
 After the time delay the Wiper Motor start again and
convey the car to next stage
Sensor TWO
 When the Car reach the Sensor 2 Detect
 Stop the Wiper Motor
 Allow the Brushes to cleaning through the rotation
 With in time frame
 After the Given Delay time the Wiper motor start
again and conveyer move the care one step Ahead
Sensor THREE
 When the Car reach the Sensor 3 Detect
 Stop the Wiper motor
 Allow pump TWO to sprinkle clean water . For
washing
 After given time the Wiper motor start again and
forward the car to next stage
Sensor Four
 When the Car reach the Sensor 4 Detect it
 Stop the wiper motor
 Allow to ON dry fans
 After the time frame the fan stop
 Wiper motor start again and moving forward to
Ending Point
 Done and system stop their all process
CAR WASH FLOW PROCESS

ADVANTAGES
 Less Area required
 Less time requirement in operation
 Less man power requirement
 Pollution free
 Easy to operate
 Standards parts and components are easily available
 Can be use in domestic service stations
 Very less maintenance
LIMITATIONS
 Primary investment is high
 More amount of water is required
 System installation is complex
TARGET AUDIENCE
 Supermarkets & malls
 GAS stations
 Railway stations & Air ports
 Hotels
 Resorts
 Theaters & universities
 Public places & private companies
 SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENTH WEAKNESS
 Fast services
 Quite high cost for operation
 Great quality service
 A little high price from
 Modern technology &
competitors according to
machine
our quality service and our
 Skilled worker
high technology equipment.
 Easy access
 Wash up to 50 cars per
hour

THREATS
OPPERTUNITIES  Competitors
 Busy car owners  The biggest carwash
company from foreign
country is our
threat if they coming to
make business near by us.
FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
 Interior wash
 Under chases wash
 coin or token system
 Also we can implement a counter which will be allowing the
number of cars washed to be counted
CONCLUSION
After Woking on this automatic car wash , we can came to
conclusion than such automation system are:
 Quite beneficial
 Saving time of operation
 Man power reduced
 Improving the economy of the system
 In the future such type of automated
systems will have more demanded.
