AB  - During the 2020-2021 year, senior level students from the R.B. Annis School of Engineering
(RBASOE) partnered with Allegion to create an automatic lock testing system for two models of
locks. Using Allegion’s FFTA (Firmware Functional Test Automation) core unit, students
developed a robotic testing setup to provide credentialed inputs and capture outputs for two
models of locks. Mechanically, the system will accommodate 4 locks, two each of the NDE™
and LE™ locks, with the potential to scale to other Allegion products as needed. In Phase I of
the project, students met with Allegion to identify their needs. These needs were translated into
engineering requirements, from which three design alternatives were generated in Phase II. In
Phase III students began to prototype the automatic lock testing system, and run preliminary tests
for functionality. In the final phase, Phase IV, final tests were conducted to validate the design
before sending to the client for use. In addition to the physical system, students handed over an
operations manual detailing information on optimal operation, system safety, and system
maintenance.
Throughout this project, students implemented the Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and Waterfall
project management methodologies to guide the design process. Within the R.B. Annis School of
Engineering (RBASOE), these methodologies have been adapted into the DesignSpine process.
