  2. Agenda • What is the Individual Nameplate Inspector project all about? • What are the requirements for the project? • How did we solve the problem? • Where does the project stand now?

  3. What is a Nameplate? • Rectangular piece of aluminum • Attached to something for identification • Largest is 3” x 5” • Smallest is ½” x 1” • All about 1/20” thick • Attached with adhesive or screws

  4. What is a Nameplate?

  5. Problem • “Singulate” stack of plates • Adhesive makes this difficult • Take a picture of each plate • Identify errors (if any) • List all bad nameplates

  6. Solution • Break the problem into 2 systems: • Transport System moves the plates around • Vision System checks quality of plates

  7. Operating Environment • No unusual constraints • Light awareness

  8. Intended Users and Uses • Individual Nameplate Inspector will be used by the employees of Metalcraft to verify that the nameplates they manufacture are error free

  9. Assumptions/Limitations • Users are familiar with a PC • Cleaning the system as much as once per day is acceptable • The system will not be moved frequently • Max cycle time is 2 seconds • Inspector will not be able to accommodate every label

  10. Risks and Management • Meeting times do not work for everyone • Separate project into parts • Schedule far in advance • Transport and Vision system do not work together • Keep both in mind during design • Accidentally e-mailing client through provided mailing list

  11. Deliverables • Complete system • Manual explaining setup of transport system • Manual explaining setup of vision system

  12. Research • Talking to client about what has and has not worked in the past • Other vision systems • Looking at systems that do similar work

  13. Considered Approach #1

  14. Considered Approach #2

  15. Are We Almost Done? • Research – 98% • Design – 80% • Implementation – 25% • Testing – 50%

  16. Financial Requirements

  17. Personnel Requirements

  18. Project Schedule

  19. Project Eval • On track for completion • Need to start making final system from prototypes

  20. Future Work • Marking or removal of bad plates • Automate machine setup

  21. Lessons Learned • Good to have several plans • Plagiarize others work when possible • More client meetings are helpful

  22. Acknowledgement • National Instruments • Metalcraft

  23. Questions?
