  1. 1. Automatic Recycling Sorting Unit: A platform designed to sort glass, plastic and metal

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Anni Li; Agnes Agåker Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Recycling; Inductive sensor; Capacitive sensor; Loadcell; Mekatronik; Återvinning; Induktivsensor; Kapacitivsensor; Viktcell;

    Abstract : This report describes the design and construction of a tilting platform for sorting household waste, limited to plastic, glass, and metal. The platform utilizes a capacitive sensor to identify if an object is placed on the platform, an inductive sensor to detect metal, and a load cell to differentiate between plastic and glass based on their weight difference.

  3. 2. Improving Product Level Sensing in Filling Tubes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Hannah Schrewelius; [2023]
    Keywords : level sensing; hygienic design; manufacturing; product development; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the possibility to improve the product level sensing in one of Tetra Pak’s filling machines, because the current solution does not detect this with the desirable precision, as well as measuring range. Today, a magnetic float is used together with 16 separate capacitive sensors. READ MORE

  4. 3. LoRa Based Moisture Sensing System

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Author : Rasha Badran; [2023]
    Keywords : LoRa; moisture sensor; capacitive sensor;

    Abstract : Water is an important parameter for crop growth, and the information about the moisture content in soil at different depths is very useful for farmers to determine the best time to water the soil and to irrigate farmland so as to maximize their yield. This thesis project aims to develop a prototype of a multi-depth moisture sensor probe that is part of a large sensing system used in agriculture. READ MORE

  5. 4. Design of a Level Sensing System for the Propellant Tank of a Microlauncher

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Robin Scholtes; [2021]
    Keywords : Level Sensing; Cryogenic; Microlauncher; Liquid Oxygen; Nivåavkänning; Kryogen; Mikrobärraket; Flytande Syre;

    Abstract : The present report aims to show the development process of a liquid level sensing system for the use within the propellant tanks of a launch vehicle. Whereas many recent launchers use discrete level sensing systems to indicate the amount of fuel on defined spots like fill-stop and engine cut-off, in this report a continuous capacitance based sensor probe is described.

  6. 5. The Irrigator : Autonomous watering robot for homes

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Henrik Lind; Jacob Janssen; [2019]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Automated Homes; Automatic Irrigation System; Microcontroller; Line Follower; Capacitive; Resistive; Moisture Sensors.; Mekatronik; Automatiserade hem; Automatiserat bevattningssystem; Mikrokontroller; Linjeföljare; Resistiv; Kapacitiv; Fuktighetssensor.;

    Abstract : Inspired by the trend of automated homes, this thesis examines the possibility of designing a cheap and autonomous robot that will water plants effectively at home. Many existing solutions are cumbersome and not sufficiently effective, often due to flexibility and risk of over watering. Therefore this thesis examines a wheel based approach. READ MORE
