MEC 140 Final Project: Simulating a Factory Production Line with Arduino Uno

In this video, we showcase our MEC 140 Final Project, which uses an Arduino Uno board, 4 LEDs, 1 relay, 1 potentiometer, 1 motor, 3 sensors (Touch Sensor, Flame Sensor, Tracking Sensor), and 1 toggle button to simulate a factory production line.

The production line consists of 3 processing stations (Pressing Station, Heat Treating Station, Inspection Scanning Station), 1 assembly station, and a warehouse. A part goes through each processing station, and after it has gone through all three, it is sent to the assembly station. The assembly station requires 2 parts to assemble a product, and once the assembly station has received 2 parts, it assembles them into a product and sends it to the warehouse.

We use the serial monitor to log the process and status of every step and show the inventory after all the processes. The toggle button functions as a Start/Stop button, allowing us to start and stop the production line when necessary. The potentiometer enables us to control the speed of the motor.

Overall, our MEC 140 Final Project demonstrates how Arduino Uno can be used to simulate a factory production line, incorporating sensors, a motor, and other components to create a complex system. We hope you enjoy watching our project in action and gain a better understanding of the possibilities of Arduino Uno.
