The intricacies of the development of an autonomous mini-conveyor system for product monitoring are highlighted in this chapter. The design was carried out using the Fenner Dunlop conveyor belt design manual, as well as other conveyor design manuals, electronic manuals, and journals. MCDAS is a wireless-based monitoring, control, and data acquisition system that allows for real-time updates on production line operations when production runs transition from one shift to the next. Information is acquired for each production run, thus there is no downtime in data reporting and transmission with this system, and this data can be printed at the end of each production shift. There's also a data log where you may look back at earlier data. As a result of the rapid advancement of wireless information technologies, a plethora of solutions have emerged, and their use in various industries has been investigated and developed. It can be concluded that this system, which combines four technologies into one solution, namely, mini-conveyor, sensing and counting, and signalling wireless network system, is very compatible and suited for any production line layout output monitoring system application in the manufacturing sectors.
