Project Proposal

Title
A development of innovative machinery that measures the correct amount of powder ingredients used in marine industry.


Problems
Incorrect amount of powder ingredients in wrong ratio with resin causes different results when it is mixed together. Also powder ingredients left in open area can cause bad influence to work environments as the chemical dusts spread out.


Objectives 
The purpose of producing this machinery is to measure the correct amount of powder in order to minimize the waste. Also since the powder ingredients are stored in our custom secured system, the amount of dust will be eliminated and the work environment will be tidy and clean. The device will be set the standard which provides consistent ratio of powder when using with resin. Consequently, it can provide the same results to designers and builders who are using the device. 

Goals
1. To design and produce a machinery which provides the necessary amounts of powder for a variety of situations    
2. To produce a machinery that can reduces dust out of  excessive powder in order to provide better work environment 

Key Activities
1. Break down all project work into several activities such as creating a timelines using the project management software
2. Survey and discuss the various possibilities with the experts and industry representatives.    
3. Research the existing products and apply the technology into the system   
4. Design the concepts for the project on the basis of the research   
5. Produce the prototype of the project

Expected Results
The machinery will provide a standard way of managing the amount of powder especially for people who do not have much experiences or knowledge of handling the materials.

  1. We need to set the timeline using Gantt chart, and do some research about the powder and the machinery. Our proposal needs more details to show exactly what we are going to produce and why.

  2. In problem description powder in the air is mentioned. Is your machine going to resolve that as well? Evidently even the amount of the powder is correct the process of mixing of the powder and resin will produce infusion of the particles into the air.

  3. The machine will have a storage to store the powder ingredient securely. As you mentioned about the problem that we are going to face when mixing powder with resin, I think we need to think about it more. I will also find some more machines so I can see if there is any solution existing.
