Projects

Thermal Monitoring Drone

Thermal Monitoring Drone

Description:

CAD designs and Arduino circuits for a drone. CAD designs, circuits, and Raspberry Pi program for an embedded system that detects cable presence, captures thermal images, and detects temperature spikes.

Real-time OPC Simulation

Real-time OPC Simulation

Description:

Real-time circuit simulation, connected via OPC to a LABVIEW interface, for monitoring and control.

Proteus/Ubidots Pump Control

Proteus/Ubidots Pump Control

Description:

Design of a pump system in Proteus, controlled by an Atmega328p, and visualization in Ubidots of the system's status communicated by a program developed in Python.

Knee Prosthesis Adaptation

Knee Prosthesis Adaptation

Description:

3D design of a knee and editing of a total knee prosthesis, using Slice 3D and Blender software to adapt the existing knee prosthesis to the test knee.

LABVIEW Pump Control

LABVIEW Pump Control

Description:

Design of an HMI for the control of a pump system, which has three pumps. Two pumps are primary and the third is backup in case one fails or is disabled for maintenance. Each pump has its start and stop pushbuttons, as well as its enable or disable selector. The system will have manual and automatic operation commanded by the signal sent by a selector.

Dynamic Mechanism Simulation

Dynamic Mechanism Simulation

Description:

A mechanism is designed where the shaft of a mill receives the necessary power and speed through pulley-chains. In turn, the shaft that transmits power to the pulley with chain receives the input power through a set of V-belt pulleys, as well as being supported by 2 bearings.

Rice Stacker Design

Rice Stacker Design

Description:

Design and feasibility analysis of a rice stacker using renewable energy for implementation in a developing agricultural community.

Automatic Pet Feeder

Automatic Pet Feeder

Description:

Automatic pet feeder project controlled by a mobile application that allows scheduling feeding times.

Flexible Manufacturing Process

Flexible Manufacturing Process

Description:

Redesigning the bottle manufacturing system of a company to reduce production times, increase system flexibility, and improve company profitability.

Sugar Production Quality

Sugar Production Quality

Description:

Objective:
Improve sugar production quality system by modifying manufacturing stages to avoid frequent product rejection upon delivery.
Issue:
A sugar-producing plant consists of several stages containing certain processes that make production efficient:
*Crystallization
*Juice delivery and extraction
*Evaporation
*Juice purification
The plant lacks sugar quality controls, so customers want quality tests based on random sampling so that if the product passes the tests, the order is accepted; otherwise, the product will be returned in full regardless of the order size.
