Printed Circuit Board Defect Detection Using Image Processing, Nandeera Kamalaja De Silva Munaweera Tanthirige Jan 2022

Printed Circuit Board Defect Detection Using Image Processing, Nandeera Kamalaja De Silva Munaweera Tanthirige

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

This study was conducted to verify the hypothesis of the possibility to design an Automated Defect Detection system at a budget using image processing software. Focusing mainly on simplicity of integration with the capability to inspect a high variation of PCB with less user input. Reference comparison method was utilized to construct the defect detection algorithm where a defect free reference PCB gets compared with an inspection image to identify defects and anomalies. The paper discusses the range of possible defects for inspection on non-assembled PCBs, suggests methods for image processing and presents a final inspection algorithm, including their testing. …


Improved Warehouse For Smt Material Management Using Modern Technology Retrieval System And Better Traceability, Ferdinand Mabeya Jan 2022

Improved Warehouse For Smt Material Management Using Modern Technology Retrieval System And Better Traceability, Ferdinand Mabeya

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Warehouse plays a vital role in the manufacturing and distributing goods from raw material to manufacturer and finally to the end-user. Optimizing warehouse material management will make an impact on productivity, quality, and on-time delivery. My thesis focuses on material management of surface mount (SMT) from suppliers, receiving and inspection, and warehouse to maximize efficiency. With SMT line costing over 2 million, the warehouse material management is improved. Things like cycle count and picking material are much faster. It makes the overall equipment efficiency (OEE) very low. To make this material management process possible, manufacturers must embrace Six Sigma and …


Applying The Systems Engineering Principles To The Design Process Of A Mobile Aquaponics System, Brandy Maki, Sue Benolken, Jim Mccluskey Apr 2014

Applying The Systems Engineering Principles To The Design Process Of A Mobile Aquaponics System, Brandy Maki, Sue Benolken, Jim Mccluskey

Undergraduate Research Symposium

Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to product development which encompasses extended design factors (e.g. manufacturing, social, economic, human factors, safety, and schedule) into the technical design process to create an optimal product and/or service. Systems Engineering principles have proven to be highly effective in managing and implementing complex projects, yet can be utilized on any design project. The implementation of Systems Engineering into the design of a mobile aquaponics system will be examined as well as the successes, challenges, and opportunity for future improvements. Aquaponics is a food production system that ecologically integrates aquaculture and hydroponics. This particular system …
