broadly divided into two categories: opticalsorting and mechanical sorting. Optical sorting machines use camera and computer visionalgorithms to identify flavor through color. A CV algorithm uses inputs such as objects andimages/videos from a sensing device such as a camera. It analyzes the image and automaticallyrecognizes color, shape, and size as a human would, but faster. Mechanical sorting machines usea physical mechanism and gates with color sensors to do the sorting; these are typically slowerrate and less accurate.The objectives of the work described in this paper are to 1) develop a low-cost portable gantryrobotic system with computer vision for sorting jellybeans by flavor; 2) design lesson plans andactivities for advanced programing

may involve calculating cycle times,lead times, and other performance metrics. Based on the analysis of the current state, the teamthen develops a vision for the future state of the value stream. This involves eliminating waste,reducing lead times, and improving overall efficiency and effectiveness. With the future state inmind, the team develops a plan for implementing changes and improvements. This plan mayinclude specific initiatives, projects, or Kaizen events aimed at addressing the identifiedopportunities. Once the action plan is developed, the team begins implementing the proposedchanges. This may involve reorganizing processes, redesigning workflows, implementing newtechnologies, or training employees. Throughout the implementation

and a disappointment that the project was not directly related to the student's specific career interest. 3. If you were going to participate in another internship, what would you do differently? • Two students essentially said that they would do nothing differently. • One student mentioned wanting to work more "efficiently" to complete more project-related activities. • One student mentioned being better prepared for the financial challenges (i.e., room and board, stipend payment schedule) 4. How has this internship experience affected your academic and/or career plans? • Two students reported academic-related changes, with one saying they felt more prepared for their upcoming courses and one reporting feeling more motivated to

percentage varies dramatically across differentnations. Most organizations have not made any advancements due to the numerous obstaclesencountered in implementing Industry 4.0. Studies have demonstrated that adopting Industry 4.0is an intricate undertaking, and numerous organizations in various nations are encounteringchallenges due to diverse obstacles [5]. Hence, it is imperative to recognize the obstacles andtheir interconnections that might facilitate the development of a mitigation plan, ultimatelyresulting in a more seamless integration of Industry 4.0 [6]. A limited number of scholars havedone scientific studies on the obstacles that hinder the implementation of Industry 4.0technology. Prior studies have relied on empirical data collected

partis beneficial for engineering fields such as aerospace and automotive where less weight meansgreater stability and speeds. All material has a failure point, so it is good to plan for how thematerial will fail and how that failure can affect the overall part. Honeycomb infill will collapseon itself, but will not fracture. This means the part can still hold the force applied to it. It seems that harder and stronger materials solidify faster when being 3D printed. Thiscan cause a rough surface finish. No matter what material is used, when 3D printing, surfaceroughness will be noticeable. A tradeoff for a better surface finish, if to reduce the strength of thepart by using ABS.Conclusion The results from the data can be useful in

physically and digitallyModule 2: Process digital twin of an extrusion-based 3D printing Extrusion-based 3D printing process leverages heat to fuse the input filament and deposit it topreviously printed layers. This process involves multi-physics, including thermal, structural, andmaterials. To improve students’ learning of the “additive” concept, we let them touch the “manufacturing”process, by using “Lego bricks” to simulate how a part in being built. Students are grouped intoteam, each team is allocated 400 lego blocks, as shown in Figure 3. In this lab activity, studentsneed to use lego to build a cone layer by layer. Specifically, they will: • Plan building into layers: Students will determine how many layers to build the given

devicesand controllers. Students often lack a system level perspective of automated systems and howeach component contributes to a system. Mastery of these concepts and skills is made even morechallenging by limited availability of equipment, limited lab time, and lack of system-levellesson plans. To alleviate these challenges and to make learning system integration conceptsaccessible, efficient, and interesting, interactive modules on sensors, programmable logiccontroller (PLC), and robot controller interfacing and case studies are being designed andevaluated. A group of 49 undergraduate students enrolled in a manufacturing automation androbotics course learners reviewed one of the developed case studies and provided feedback aboutits design and

A minimum rational workelement is a small amount of work that has a specified objective. A minimum rational workelement cannot be subdivided any further without loss of practicality. In addition, there arerestrictions on the order in which the work elements can be performed. These technologicalrequirements on the work sequence are called precedence constraints. The precedenceconstraints can be presented graphically in the form of a precedence diagram, a network diagramthat indicates the sequence in which work elements must be performed. This study involvedapplying the three heuristic algorithms to study process planning for a manual

Sometimes team members did not have the prior technicalknowledge required for a task, but they were able to look for solutions by having discussions withthe project advisor and using learning strategies to find resources.For future work, the capabilities of the system can be extended to online analysis. Currently, theFFT was analyzed off-line. The authors plan to perform online analysis using LabVIEW capability.In addition to this, the system can integrate with a more physical measurement for other advancedmanufacturing processes. For example, the NI 9244 can be integrated for electrical
