P20372: Interactive Automated Model Distribution Center

Home

Project Summary	Project Information
Dematic Retrotech is a Rochester based office that designs and implements global supply chain automation solutions. Dematic currently utilizes a scaled model if it's systems to demonstrate their automation capabilities to potential clients and talent. Dematic would like to improve and expand the current automated storage and retrieval subsystem (AS/RS) model. Upgrades will include, but are not limited to, electrical component and micro-controller replacement, software additions/modifications, graphical interface addition, and mechanical improvements. Simultaneously, Dematic will encourage the group to maintain accuracy of the model similar to real-world Dematic systems. Development can include innovative engineering solutions for inbound and outbound conveyor. The intent is to correct initial design issues with skewing pallets. Development also includes upgrading electrical and mechanical hardware to create an interactive, highly accurate, and more robust design.

Information

Content Guidelines: Use these links below to guide you in populating your website. A few points to consider:

Be aware of any information that you or your sponsor might not want publicly available: confidential information, personal phone numbers, photos, etc. You can use the private directory for this information, and it will be available only to those users with Guest access to your site. Remember that once you post something online, it's nearly impossible to remove it entirely!
Do not post any files on your site that are not yours, unless you are certain that they are in the public domain or you have received permission to post them. Examples of files that you should avoid posting are copies of published papers, standards documents, textbook chapters/excerpts, or copyrighted images. If you have received a .pdf of a paper through Interlibrary Loan, or purchased an ASTM or ISO standard, you may post it in the private directory, where only your team and guide will have access to it.
If you are including contact information for people that would otherwise not be publicly available, make sure you have their permission. For example, your faculty advisor's email address and office phone number are already publicly available on the KGCOE website, and is fine to post. However, if he or she has provided a cell phone number to the team, that is most likely not public information and should not be posted without explicit permission.
