Team 8 submitted a status report on their ATALIS automated alcohol inventory control system project. As of March 20, they had completed designing the stand dimensions and a prototype bottle stand. Upcoming milestones included fully implementing the software by April 1st and completing the entire project by April 25th. Several tasks were ongoing such as integrating the RFID reader into the microcontroller and calibrating sensors.
1. Status Report #7 Team 8 March 20, 2011 Zachery Chaney Mark Foresman Ryan Mertz Wesley Richard ATALIS is an automated alcohol inventory control system for use in bars and restaurants.
2. Overall Need Bars and restaurants lose up to 30 percent of their inventory due to alcohol “shrinkage” because of a lack of accurate and reliable inventory tracking. Project Milestones 19 January 2011 – Design dimensions finalized 01 February 2011 – Prototype stand holder completed 01 March 2011 – Prototype bottle stand completed 01 April 2011 – Software fully implemented and working 25 April 2011 – Project completed and demonstrated
3. Recently Completed Tasks Finished solid-works schematic for finalized stand design. Ordered all stand plastics material, will pick up tomorrow. Completed the website CLICK HERE TO VIEW Finished fabricating the op-amp drive circuit for the force sensors
6. Ongoing/ Pending Tasks Will drop off all materials to be machined by Wednesday RFID reader integration into the microcontroller Programming the force sensor on the microcontroller Calibrating the op-amp drive circuit for the appropriate sensitivity
7. Upcoming Tasks Creation of GUI for Atalis Fabrication of final stand Inserting op-amp circuit into design Finalization of coding
