Printing question papers in multiple pages and stapling them is a tedious task. With human errors it is difficult to plot the empty pages which may be stapled during the mass printing and binding. This is a time consuming task. This project deals with the development of the automated smart binding approach which uses automated system for picking one page at a time from multiple trays and stapling them in order to generate a bided print. The system also uses OCR techniques to verify the order of bind by using template matching and OCR to make sure mistakes are eliminated. This project proposes a smart printing cum binding system which is developed in the form of the attachment to the printer. The proposed system consists of multiple trays to hold individual paper in order and a camera top to verify the contents using OCR. When activated the paper loading mechanism will pick one paper from every tray, verify the print on the paper using OCR and template matching and then proceed to binding to staple them together. The proposed setup is completely automated to repeat the cycle with minimum errors. The system is built up around Raspberry pi as base board interfaced to camera for OCR and Stepper Motors for Automation.
