In the modern era of technological advancement, precision and automation in wire processing have become increasingly critical. This paper presents a smart, sensor-integrated, IoT-based system designed for accurate wire cutting and stripping, effectively addressing limitations found in traditional manual methods. While conventional techniques offer basic functionality, they often suffer from performance degradation, measurement inaccuracies, and operator-induced errors. Manual handling not only introduces risks of inconsistent wire lengths but also leads to repetitive strain injuries for workers over time.
The proposed system utilizes microcontroller-based automation and smart sensors to achieve high precision in wire length measurement and stripping without human intervention. Users simply input the desired wire length and quantity through an IoT interface; the entire cutting and stripping process is then executed automatically with enhanced accuracy and speed. Comparative performance evaluations demonstrate significant improvements in measurement accuracy and operational efficiency over manual processes. This solution is particularly beneficial for small-scale engineering industries with constrained budgets or lower production volumes. Its portability, user-friendly design, and reliability make it a practical and innovative tool for modern wire processing applications, contributing to the ongoing evolution of embedded systems in industrial automation.
