Abstract
Weaver Industries in Akron, Ohio provided us with our senior design project. Weaver Industries seeks individuals with disabilities and provides them with job opportunities. One of their products is a “Kong” dog toy. As of now, the instruction pamphlet that comes with this dog toy is placed into each piece of packaging individually by hand. We are tasked with automating this process. Two years ago, a group of students worked on this project, but the reliability of their prototype was only around 60-70%. Then last year, another group of students worked on this project, but again, the reliability of their design was not sufficient, and unfortunately one group member took most of the electronics with him upon graduating. Therefore we had to start from scratch in that department. This year, we hope to improve the success and reliability of this system by adding to and upgrading the previous prototype.
