Overview

This report details the successful completion of the Capstone Project for the Electromechanical Engineering Technology program at Humber Polytechnic, which is broken into 2 major phases: design and build. The design phase consisted of researching various component options and evaluating their feasibility, planning work completion schedules, drafting engineering drawings, and preparing preliminary project proposals. The construction phase includes commissioning of mechanical devices and supports, wire installation, programming, troubleshooting, and verification of the project objectives. The project’s goal was to develop a fully automated system for efficiently organizing electrical components, with a focus on reliability, precision, and using specifically chosen components and criteria. The team followed an iterative 12-step engineering design methodology that guided decisions on key system components based on feedback from initial testing, resulting in an automation cell that reliably picks up and places sorted parts, following industry standards and practices for safety.
