The document describes a new wearable time-keeping system developed by Fraunhofer to more accurately measure the time taken by workers to perform tasks in factories. Existing stopwatch methods can only monitor a few workers and make them nervous. The new system uses sensor-equipped sleeves to record workers' arm movements without supervision needed. Data from the sleeves is analyzed to identify inefficient motions and optimize processes. The system aims to maximize efficiency while acknowledging workers may occasionally need breaks.

This paper focuses on the materials, working principle of a robotic vehicle which will be controlled with hand motion. The aim of this research is to enhance industrialization by creating a hand motion controlled robotic vehicle, since it uses hand motion it will be easier to use in automation and various industries. It is also very beneficial for people with disabilities since only hand motion is required. There were various materials that were used in the research. 2 microcontrollers, an accelerometer, RF modules, encoder, decoder, diode, motor driver IC, DC motor and batteries. The microcontrollers are small computers which can be programmed to be utilized in various different ways. The Accelerometer is a PCB or a sensor which detects speed. The RF modules are of two types which are transmitters and receivers and they are components which are used to send data and information wirelessly. The encoder and decoder are used to convert the binary to any n number of output terminals. The diode is used to send the electricity in one direction. The motor driver IC controls the DC motor from the information given by the microcontroller ICs and lastly a 9v Battery will be used to power the system. The arduino software will be used to program the IC so it can perform the required task. The gadget features a receiver circuit that is intended to be worn on top of the user's glove. The vehicle's circuit incorporates an RF receiver, an 8051 CPU, and a Driver IC to power the motors. This method is extremely useful for persons with impairments since it allows a robotic vehicle to drive itself using hand gestures. The person only needs to move his hand to move the car forward, backward, left, or right. As a result, the user is not required to push any buttons.

ARM based System for Monitoring Grain ConditionAM Publications
Agriculture is the backbone of any nation’s economy and there is a dependency between agricultural growth and economic prosperity. As India is an Agriculture country where 70% of the population depends on farming, the storage of grains plays a crucial role in national economy. Due to the seasonality of grain production, the storage of grain is the top priority task for restoring and reusing. In the process of grain storage, temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide concentration (CO2) are major ecological factors that can influence directly on the quality of the Grain. Hence, there is a necessity to monitor the vital parameters continuously during storage and communicate the status to the manger in real time which becomes a challenging. The traditional methods are limited to simple manual temperature and humidity testing which are relatively backward since grain situation analysis are made without any effective means of processing and regulation hence there is a need for smart grain management system with automation which can also avoid hidden security risks. The Real-time monitoring of the grain storage system is designed based on ARM7 and using GSM module as lower level Control unit which improves the level of grains storage and reduce the grain losses during storage procedure and also reduce man power and labor intensity.

Ijeee 33-36-surveillance system for coal mines based on wireless sensor networkKumar Goud
Abstract: The foremost critical task for coal mine is of keeping track of miners spread out across a large mining areas .It becomes even difficult when mine tunnels collapse. Many mines use a radio system to track miners, but when a collapse occurs, the base stations connected by a thin wire often are rendered useless. In this project to overcome the demerits of radio system we used wireless technology for tracking the miners. For this purpose a small RF transmitter module is equipped to each person entering a mine. Each transceiver placed in the mine look after the location of miners. The transceivers communicate with base stations through Zigbee module. In addition of tracking the location of miners we also include sensors such as temperature & humidity to intimate the base station & miners when some atmosphere changes occur. Mine operators are now able to monitor the real-time locations of each miner to better pinpoint their locations in the event of an emergency. Even after a full-day of use, mine operators can locate an individual miner within ten feet.

Design Efficient Wireless Monitoring Platform for Recycling Point SpotsIJMTST Journal
There is a growing demand for low cost, very low power and reduced size monitoring systems with
wireless communications, to be used in different kinds of industrial environments. In several countries waste
separation and recycling is a major issue. Consequently, the number of recycling spots has been steadily
increasing. In order to ensure that recycle bins are properly maintained, several monitoring solutions have
been proposed. These still have several limitations, such as requiring wires for power and/or communications
and not being able to fit in all existing types of bins. This paper presents WECO, a wireless embedded solution
for monitoring the level of the bins located in recycling spots. The proposed system automatically alerts a
remote central station when a bin reaches a programmable filling level, thus avoiding the need to spot check
if the bin is full and ensuring that the recycling spot is kept clean. The developed prototype required
hardware-software co-design and aimed to meet the above mentioned requirements, resorting to the IEEE
802.15.4 protocol for wireless communications between all nodes in the network, each based on a
System-On-Chip CC2530 from Texas Instruments. Due to its wireless nature, the architecture requires a
battery for power supplying the nodes, with a life time of at least six years. The filling level readings of each
bin in a recycling spot are made using an ultrasonic sensor. The data collected by the monitoring platform is
then sent to the remote central station that processes it in order to optimize routes and establish a scheduled
collection of the recycling spots.

1. INTRODUCTION
In factories where products are mass-produced, it's extremely important to know how
long the human workers take to perform certain tasks. This not only allows the pace of
the assembly line to be set, but it also allows factory owners to identify time-wasting
problems such as superfluous movements, overly frequent tool changes, or impractically-
located components. Typically, workers are periodically timed by a stopwatch-wielding
supervisor, or using a timer that they start and stop themselves. A new wearable time-
keeping system, however, promises more accurate readings.
There are at least two main drawbacks to existing time-keeping methods. For one thing,
workers tend to be nervous when being monitored by someone else, and will work faster
than normal, possibly also making more mistakes. Additionally, a supervisor timing their
employees is being taken away from other duties, decreasing efficiency.

2. LITERARY SURVEY
In an attempt to further narrow the gap between man and machine,
German tech company Fraunhofer has created a device that will measure the
movements of industrial workers down to the second.
Industrial manufacturers can use the device, a sleeve equipped with tiny sensors,
to analyze each individual movement during assembly and ensure that not a
moment is wasted. With data from sleeve movements, manufacturers should be
able to minimize “impractically located components” or “overly frequent tool
changes.” In other words, with a few tweaks to the manufacturing process,
workers can essentially become well-oiled machines.
“The present stopwatch method only allows a process organizer to time five
individuals simultaneously, depending on the situation,” said Martin Woitag,
research manager at the Fraunhofer IFF in a press release. “Our solution makes it
possible to record time simultaneously, even at several workplaces, without
requiring additional labor. The system’s greater precision and objectivity is
crucial.” Inside the sleeve are three matchbox-sized sensors, each designed to
record hand and arm movements from start to finish. Actions such as reaching,
grasping, joining and releasing can all be differentiated.
Once the manual labor is done, a PC application completes the process by
calculating and reconstructing motion sequences based on the sensor data from
the sleeve. Each process is then broken down into segments and relative time is
established, allowing researchers to shave off the more superfluous of motions
from workers’ routines.
Pinpointing workers’ exact movements may be a crucial step in maximizing
efficiency, but it could also be seen as a burden for employees who simply need a
break every now and then. Wasted seconds, like cotton mills and mule-drawn
plows, may simply be a thing of the past.
At present, the sleeves can be used for assembly jobs at sitting workplaces in
logistics and manufacturing. In the next stage, the researchers in Magdeburg
3. 3
intend to configure the system to also analyze assembly operations during which
workers stand or move around. They additionally plan to use the sensors to detect
posture and thus analyze workplace ergonomics.

ACCELEROMETER:
An accelerometer is an electromechanical device that will measure acceleration
forces. These forces may be static, like the constant force of gravity pulling at your feet,
or they could be dynamic - caused by moving or vibrating the accelerometer.
Accelerometers use the piezoelectric effect - they contain microscopic crystal structures
that get stressed by accelerative forces, which causes a voltage to be generated. Another
way to do it is by sensing changes in capacitance. If you have two microstructures next to
each other, they have a certain capacitance between them. If an accelerative force moves
one of the structures, then the capacitance will change. The capacitance is then converted
into voltage.
The three axis accelerometer are basically used to identify the movements across the
three axis i.e. x-axis, y-axis, z-axis. Accelerometer is an electronic device which is
interfaced using I2C protocol and provides the reading after every 1msec. According to
the requirement of the application, the microcontroller will take the reading from the
accelerometer within a fixed interval of time and do the necessary operation according to
the requirement of the application
IR OBSTACLE SENSOR:
Here we are connecting an IR based obstacle sensor. The 50 ohm resister is used for
current limiting. The current through the LED is 5v / 50 ohm = 100 mA, which is high
for an LED. But to increase the range of the obstacle sensor we are using a lower range
resistor (50 ohm). On the receiver side we have connected the IR receiver in reverse bias.
So as soon as the light falls in the IR receiver, the anode voltage increases and when the
anode voltage is more than the cathode voltage then the LED is in forward bias mode and
start conducting.
6. 6
PULSE RATE SENSOR:
The pulse rate sensor interfaced within the system will keep on monitoring the pulses of
the worker in order to ensure that the worker is in good health. If the pulse rate of the
worker is fast then it will indicate that the worker is stressed and needs to be given a
break. So on the basis of the output provided by the pulse rate sensor, we can track the
health issues of the worker.
RF Tx-Rx (ZIGBEE):
Zigbee is the result of the demand from industry and consumer for wireless applications
that demand for lower data rate, longer battery life, simple design, shorter range and low
cost solutions.
Introduction to IEEE 802.15.4
IEEE 802.15.4 is a simple standard that specifies the media access controller (mac) and
physical (phy) networking layers for packet data protocol. Its license free frequency
bands are: 2.4Ghz(16 channels with baud rate of 250 kps)
902 mhz - 928 mhz (10 channels with baud rate of 40 kps) 868 mhz - 870 mhz (1 channel
with baud rate of 20 kps)
North america, europe, australia and new zealand use the sub 1 ghz bands whereas the
rest of the world uses 2.4 ghz bands.
It uses carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance for channel access. The
security method used is aes-128. Have message acknowledgement and a host of other
features.

Zigbee applications
Zigbee technology is based on IEEE 802.15.4 industry standard. It incorporates the
standard, adding the logical network, security and software to it. It supports up to 3
network topologies namely star, mesh and cluster tree. Developers need only have to
focus on application while the MCU/microprocessor/RF transceiver makers and
Zigbeealliance take care of the RF transmitter, RF receiver, RF channel and its protocol.
There are 3 types of traffics that can be used.
A) Periodic data
An example of this traffic is a wireless sensor to read the water meter. The sensor is
programmed to wake up at certain interval to transmit the information needed and goes
back to sleep after this is done.
B) Intermittent data
An example of this traffic is a wireless light switch to on or off a light manually. It is
triggered only by external input and hence wakes up to transmit the message to the
network. When done, it is disconnected to the network and hence save energy.
C) Repetitive data
An example of this traffic is the security system monitoring. The devices are time
multiplex to return its status to the network. This type uses more energy.
There are numerous applications that can be implemented using zigbee. Amongst others
are in the industry and home applications.
In the industry, the applications include utility and metering where gas/water/electricity
meter readings are automated and send back to utility headquarter for further action. This
saves the time it takes for their personnel to come to the premises to take its reading. In
8. 8
the area of warehousing/inventory management, the wireless technology will enable
accurate and hassle free management of goods. Security and access control, building
management system and lighting control are among the applications that can be
implemented with ease. In the home, a total home automation system to control lightings,
blinds, air conditioning, security system, remote control and appliances can be
implemented. We are going to use ZIGBEE technology to control various electrical
appliances remotely.

RESET DESIGN:
Figure no.4- Reset circuit
Reset is used for putting the microcontroller into a 'known' condition. That
practically means that microcontroller can behave rather inaccurately under certain
undesirable conditions. In order to continue its proper functioning it has to be reset,
meaning all Registers would be placed in a starting position. Reset is not only used when
microcontroller doesn't behave the way we want it to, but can also be used when trying
out a device as an interrupt in program execution, or to get a microcontroller ready when
loading a program.
In order to prevent from bringing a logical zero RESET pin accidentally, RESET
has to be connected via resistor to the positive supply pole AND a capacitor from RESET
to the ground. Resistor should be between 5 and 10K and the capacitor can be in between
1µf tp 10 µf. This kind of resistor capacitor combination, gives the RC time delay for the
µc to reset properly.

As shown in the above circuit we are connecting an RC circuit to the RESET (pin 57) of
µC .The ARM µC has an active low reset, therefore we connect an RC circuit. As shown
the capacitor is initially at 0v.It charges via the supply through a 10 Kohm resistance in
series, therefore the reset time of our circuit is:
R*C = 10kohm * 0.1 µf = 1 msec
Recommended time of reset = 1 µsec
Here the RC time can vary from 10 µsec to 1 msec.

CRYSTAL CIRCUIT:
Pins OSC1 & OSC2 are provided for connecting a resonant network to form oscillator.
Typically a quartz crystal and capacitors are employed. The crystal frequency is the basic
internal clock frequency of the microcontroller. The manufacturers make available PIC
designs that can run at specified maximum & minimum frequencies, typically 1 MHz to
32 Mhz.

Here we are connecting twp ceramic capacitors which are basically used for
filtering. In other words to give a pure square wave to the µC we are connecting the two
capacitors. The basic rule for placing the crystal on the board is that it should be as close
to the µC as possible to avoid any interference in the clock.
POWER SUPPLY:
Figure no.6 –Power Supply
5v supply design:
The basic step in the designing of any system is to design the power supply required
for that system. The steps involved in the designing of the power supply are as follows,
1) Determine the total current that the system sinks from the supply.
2) Determine the voltage rating required for the different components.

Figure no.7-5V DC fixed voltage regulator
The bridge rectifier and capacitor i/p filter produce an unregulated DC voltage
which is applied at the I/P of 7805.As the minimum dropout voltage is 2v for IC 7805,
the voltage applied at the input terminal should be at least 7 volts .C1 (1000 µf / 65v)is
the filter capacitor and C2 and C3 (100n f) is to be connected across the regulator to
improve the transient response of the regulator. Assuming the drop out voltage to be 2
volts, the minimum DV voltage across the capacitor C1 should be equal to 7volts (at
least).
Power supply design of the Project :
The average voltage at the output of a bridge rectifier capacitor filter combination is
given by
Vin (DC) = Vm – Idc / 4 f C1
Where, Vm=√2 Vs and Vs = rms secondary voltage
Assuming Idc to be equal to max load current, say 100mA
C = 1000 Gf / 65v , f=50hHz
19 = Vm – 0.1 / 4*50*1000*10¯6
19= Vm – 0.1 / 0.2
16. 16
Vm=19.5 volts
Hence the RMS secondary Voltage
Vrms = Vm / √2
= 19.5 / √2
=19, 5 / 1.4421
=13.5 volts
So we can select a 15v secondary Voltage
In our system most of the components used require 5 V as operating voltage such
as micro controller, MAX 232, MCT2E etc. The total current, which our circuit sinks
from the power supply, is not more than 100 mA. We have used Regulator IC 7805 that
gives output voltage of 5V.The minimum input voltage required for the 7805 is near
about 7V. Therefore we have used the transformer with the voltage rating 230v-10v and
current rating 500 mA. The output of the transformer is 12 V AC. This Ac voltage is
converted into 12 V DC by Bridge rectifier circuit.
The reasons for choosing the bridge rectifier are
a) The TUF is increased to 0.812 as compared the full wave rectifier.
b) The PIV across each diode is the peak voltage across the load =Vm, not 2Vm as in
the two diode rectifier
Output of the bridge rectifier is not pure DC and contains some AC some AC ripples
in it. To remove these ripples we have used capacitive filter, which smoothens the rippled
out put that we apply to 7805 regulators IC that gives 5V DC. We preferred to choose
capacitor filters since it is cost effective, readily available and not too bulky.

3.3Volts design
Figure no.8 Variablevoltageregulator
The formula for calculating the output voltage of ARM is (As given in the datasheet of
LM317)
Assuming
R2=470 ohms and I adj =0 then,
Vout= 3.3v = 1.25v (1+R2/450)
3.3v/1.25v = (450+R2)/450
18. 18
2.64* 0.45 Kohm = 0.45kohm+R2
1.18 – 0.45 Kohm = R2
R2=738 ohms
Nearest value of resistance is 750 ohms
Therefore with R1=450 ohms and R2=750 ohms we get an o/p of 3.3v

LCD SECTION:
Figure no.9-LCD interfacing
1. LCD has 2 powersources,
1st VCC and GND are at 1 and 2 NO. Pins of LCD Used to drive the LCD 3mA current
consumption.
2ndVCC and GND is at 15 and 16 NO. Pins of LCD used to drive the backlight of LCD.
100 ma current
Total current consumption = 3mA + 100mA = 103 mA
So, in order to reduce the current requirement we are connecting a 330 ohm resistance in
series with the backlight pin VCC. This reduces the current consumption (100mA /
330ohm = 0.303 mA).
Therefore new total current consumption = 0.303mA+3 mA =3.303 mA.

2. LCD data and controllines
LCD has 8 / 4 data lines and 3 control lines .The 4 data lines of LCD (pin 11 to
pin 14 of lcd) are connected to port 0 of the µC (0.25 , 0.26 , 0.27 , 0.28 ).
The control lines are LCD RS, LCD R/W, and LCD E. In this we are connecting
only 2 lines, viz, LCD E and LCD RS. The LCD RD/WR pin is grounded, since we only
write into the LCD and never read from LCD. These two lines are connected to the port 0
(0.21, 0.22) of the ARM µC. The LCD RS is for selecting the data or the code register
.The LCDR/W is for choosing between reading or writing on LCD. LCDE is for enabling
or disabling the LCD.

Rs 232 :
Figure no. 10- MAX232 IC
RS 232 IC is a driver IC to convert the µC TTL logic (0-5) to the RS 232 logic (+-
9v).Many device today work on RS 232 logic such as PC, GSM modem, GPS etc. so in
order to communicate with such devices we have to bring the logic levels to the 232 logic
(+/-9v).
Here as we can see the RS 232 chip has two pairs of TTL and 232 logic viz,
Pair 1: Pin 7, 8,9,10 of RS 232
22. 22
Pair 2: pin 11,12,13,14 of RS 232
We can use any one pair in our project either 7, 8,9,10 pair or 11,12,13,14 pair. if
we require 2 serial ports then Depending on the requirement of the project we may have
to use both the pair in the same project .
The µC works on TTL logic (0-5 v).So to convert the TTL logic to 232 logic we
use the 4 capacitors connected to the RS232 IC. These capacitors are called charge
pumps used to convert the TTL voltage to the +/- 9 v swing required by the 232 IC.
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX220–MAX249 has two internal charge-pumps that convert +5V to
±10V (unloaded) for RS-232 driver operation. The first converter uses capacitor C1 to
double the +5V input to +10V on C3 at the V+ output. The second converter uses
capacitor C2 to invert +10V to -10V on C4 at the V- output.

3.3PCB Designand layout
Figure no.11 PCB layout
Layout basically means placing or arranging things in a specific order on the
PCB. Layout means placing of components in an order. This placement is made such that
the interconnection lengths are optimal .At the same time, it also aims at providing
accessibility to the components for insertion testing and repair.
24. 24
The PCB layout is the starting point for the final artwork preparation layout
design should reflect the concept of final equipment. There are several factors, which
we must keep in mind for placing the layout.
Schematic Diagram:
The schematic diagram forms main input document for preparation of the layout.
For this purpose the software for PCB design, ORCAD was used.
Electricaland thermal requirement:
The PCB designer must be aware of the circuit performance in critical aspects of
the same concerning electrical conditions and the environment to be used in.
Mechanicalrequirement:
The designer should have the information about physical size of the board, type of
installation of board (vertical/horizontal). The method of cooling adopted, front panel
operated components etc.
Component placing requirement:
All components are to placed first in a configuration that demands only the
minimum length for critical conductors. These key components are placed first and the
others are grouped around like satellites.
Components mounting requirements:
All components must be placed parallel to one another as far as possible .i.e. in the same
direction and orientation mechanical over stressing of solder should be avoided.
Layout Methodology:
For proper layout design minimal steps to be followed are:
1. Get the final circuit diagram and component list.
2. Choose the board types, single sided / double sided / multilayer
3. Identify the appropriate scale for layout.
4. Select suitable grid pattern.
5. Choose the correct board size keeping in view the constraints.
6. Select appropriate layout technique, manual / automated.
7. Document in the form of the layout scale.
25. 25
Art Work:
Art work is accurately scaled configuration of the printed circuit from which the
master pattern is made photographically.
Art Work Rule:
Rules followed while selecting artwork symbol takes:
1. Minimum spacing between conductor and pad should be 0 / 35 mm in
1:1 scale .
2. Minimum spacing between parallel conductors should be 0.4 mm in 1:1 scale.
3. The area of non-PTH solder pad should not be less than 5 sq.mm.
4. The width of current carrying conductors should be determined for max..temp. rise of
20 ْC .
GeneralArt Work Rules:
When there is higher conductor density assumes the conductors parallel to any
one of the edge of the board.
When conductors have to be placed in other direction preference should be given to the
45ْ direction or to the 30ْ / 60ْ direction.
Whenever there is sufficient space available the conductors can be run in any direction so
as to achieve sorted possible interconnection.
As far as possible, design and the conductor on the solder pad.
Conductor forming sharp internal angles must be avoided.
When a member of conductor has to run between two pads the conductor lines are run
perpendicular w.r.t. the center-to-center line of pair of pads.
Equally distributed spacing is to be provided when three or more conductors run along a
direction and / or between two pads.
Minimum spacing is provided when three or more lines run along a direction and / or
between two pads.
The diameter of solder pad should be approximately 8 times the drilled hole diameter.
26. 26
SOFTWARE DESIGN
The Project team is meeting once a week to discuss the progress made by each member
and to share the relevant information and be documents that have been prepared. The
Number of meetings may increase during the final semester as the team members will
have more time.
The major milestones to be achieved are as follows:
Results of research of existing system and discussions with the Project leader.
Results of interview with experts and team meetings to finalize the requirements
of the software.
Results of the Design Phase, which include a number of modeling diagrams, like
the use cases, class diagrams, etc.
Results of the first coding phase will be an initial code that will be then tested.
Based on the results of the testing, they code will be reviewed in the second
coding phase.
