Team 8 is working on developing ATALIS, an automated alcohol inventory system using sensors and RFID tags to track inventory and reduce shrinkage. They have completed designing dimensions, prototyping a stand holder, and the first sensor driving circuit. Upcoming tasks include finalizing the stand design, testing the RFID code, and implementing the software. The project is on schedule to be completed by April 25th, 2011.

1. Status Report #4 Team 8 January24, 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 – Sensor circuits complete and combined with bottle stand. 01 April 2011 – Software fully implemented and working 25 April 2011 – Project completed and demonstrated

3. Recently Completed Tasks Website ace.engineering.utsa.edu/mark/atalis First sensor driving circuit complete Took weight of full bottle for calibration and conditioning of sensors. Built second prototype board and experimented with different inner molding materials Finished RFID reader code

4. Ongoing/ Pending Tasks Still developing most workable/usable stand design for real world application Conditioning/Calibration of force sensors. RFID reader testing Programming the microcontroller

5. Upcoming Tasks Final construction of stand (hopefully) RFID code testing Software implementation

6. Second prototype construction/molding materials and first sensor circuit.
