Final project which I have decided on is Smart card based access and monitoring for our lab machines.
What will it do?
It will be used for below mentioned 2 purposes:
Machine Usage Monitor This is required for machines which are less complex and no special training is required for using these machines
Machine Access Control This is required for machines which requires special training before using it and can harm an individual if
proper procedure is not being followed
who's done what beforehand?
Ready made solution are available in market from HID, Smarti, Suprema but they are very complex and expensive. Also as in our case data is encoded in card and send in
particular format the ready made solution available in market cannot be directly used and need to be customize(which again involve cost)
what materials and components will be required?
From outside only smart card reader will be required. Which is finalize and evaluated
where will they come from?
Smart card reader we have order from an Indian company Smarti.
how much will it cost?
Smart card reader cost to us is around 2000 rupees. I have taken 1 sample for evaluation on FOC basis
what parts and systems will be made?
Different sub part to be made are listed below
Enclosure for keeping the controller board and SSR module with proper wiring and indications provisions
Housing for Smart cad reader
PC based Software for interacting with the controller
what processes will be used?
Different processes which will be used are listed below
3D printing or molding for making enclosure for controller and reader
Milling for fabricating the PCB
Embedded programming for interfacing the differnt peripheral with central controller
Interfacing and application programming for developing the software for interacting with central controller
what tasks need to be completed?
Different task to be completed are listed below
Evaluation of Smart card reader
Developing and testing electronic circuit
Designing housing for central controller and reader
Application development
what is the schedule?
To finish electronic part this week
To finish all other activities by next week
how will it be evaluated?
The solution developed will be practically checked by adding users. Data logs will be downloaded and verified
