For counting of papers in academic institutions and industries, there are no feasible machines available. The design is mainly focused on cost effectiveness and for light to medium usages. The machine is constructed by using rollers, battery, DC motor, LED display, Arduino and IR sensor. In this machine initially we need to keep bunch of papers in the paper feeding tray, then the Arduino is reset. The LED displays the number of papers counted. The machine works based on IR sensor & colour detection. The machine is designed for counting the standard A4 size paper. The roller helps in separating each sheet from a bunch of sheets.
