Enhancing Reliability and Safety in Kiosk Operations: FMECA Insights

This report addresses critical reliability and safety issues identified in kiosk operations, including inconsistent communication between the kiosk, microcontroller, and database, malfunctioning servo motors, unreliable data from IR sensors and load cells, improper item dispensing from the hopper, and uncontrolled conveyor belt movement. Components likely to fail were identified through FMECA, including the Freescale Coldfire 52233 and various regulators. Recommendations for improvements include using non-flammable materials, enclosing hoppers, adding hand guards, and implementing clear warning labels near moving parts.
