  1. System for Separation of Recyclables: Final Presentation Boian Berberov Tracy Jamison Jared Stimson

  2. Agenda • Motivation • Ideal System Overview • Final System Overview • Design • Hardware • Software • Hardware/Software Interaction • Performance • Testing • Cost

  3. Motivation • The US produces millions of tons of trash every year • Landfills are not a sustainable solution • Recycling is a feasible solution • Reduce 14.4 million tons per year of plastics alone

  4. Motivation • Government mandates • Programs require • Participation • Efficiency • Our system • Simplifies recycling at consumer level • Improves speed and accuracy

  5. Motivation • Current systems • Manual • Semi-automated • Automated • Our system • Feasible • Economical • Completely automated

  6. Ideal System Overview • Components • Hardware • Conveyor Belt • Rotary Extractor • Stage Controller • RFID Reader • Host Controller • Software • Software • Stage Controller Firmware

  7. Final System Overview

  8. Hardware • RFID reader • Stage controller • Conveyer belt and rotary extractor

  9. RFID Reader • Reader • Intersoft WMROMR2 • Serial port • RANGE • Tags • Intersoft EPD50RO • Type A: first digit begins with a 6 • Type B: first digit begins with a 5, 7, or 8

  10. Stage Controller • Controls • Optical sensors • Rotary extractor • Microchip PIC18F4550 • USB connector • Programming header • A/D converter • Program and Reset Buttons • Status LEDs

  11. Conveyer Belt & Rotary Extractor • Non-functional • Dimensions • 12” wide – wide enough for milk carton • 42” long – long enough for a single stage • Cloth for belt • Rudimentary extractor

  12. Software Design • Three types of software • System control • Error control • Extractor movement

  13. Hardware/Software Interaction

  14. Hardware Testing

  15. System Software Testing • Testing done in two stages • Test queue • Test system software • Created a test matrix

  16. Performance • Software works, giving input through keyboard • Stage controller built

  17. Cost • System cost with n stages: 2*130 + 43.73*n

  18. Summary • Demonstrate feasibility of a large-scale implementation • Additional stages add more functionality • Future ideas • Gather statistics • Product information for marketers

  19. Demo
