The sponsor’s manufacturing plant uses surface-mount technology to manufacture automotive infotainment systems. Reels of components for surface-mount devices are loaded into surface-mount equipment that needs to be replenished frequently. The sponsor is interested in implementing smart wearable technology to improve this process.
The goal of this project is to develop an application that allows Vuzix M100 smart glasses to interface between manufacturing operators and equipment, simplifying the installation of component reels. The system scans the barcode on the supplied reel, queries the database, and uses an algorithm to determine which machine the reel should go in.
Once the line, machine and slot numbers are determined, the graphical user interface displays the required information to the user and provides interactive guidance to locate where the reel should be installed.
