Team 8's status report discusses their progress on developing ATALIS, an automated alcohol inventory control system. They have completed prototypes of the stand and website. Tasks recently finished include fabricating the op-amp drive circuit for force sensors. Ongoing tasks are integrating the RFID reader into the microcontroller and programming force sensors. Upcoming tasks are creating a GUI and finalizing the stand. Various components are at different stages of completion from 0% to 100%.
1. Status Report #5 Team 8 February 21, 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 Completed the prototype of the stand Completed the website CLICK HERE TO VIEW Finished fabricating the op-amp drive circuit for the force sensors
4. Ongoing/ Pending Tasks RFID reader integration into the microcontroller Programming the force sensor on the microcontroller Calibrating the op-amp drive circuit for the appropriate sensitivity
5. Upcoming Tasks Creation of GUI for Atalis Fabrication of final stand (meeting with the machinist soon) Inserting op-amp circuit into wood stand
