Project ManagementSome hints for future success…
Fran MárquezLund, 10/09/2019
Intro…
• Just some practical hints to manage the Industrial Project
• The groups must be self-driven: the industrial partner is the main supervisor – we are here to help!
• You have to appoint a spokesperson: all communication with the company should happen through them
• Experience tells that most of the energy is needed at the beginning, until the project is started and on the right track.
Resources:
Managing time:
• Overall project view on a Gantt Chart (week base)
• Be strict (on the big picture) but flexible (on the details)
• Centralise / distribute the time keeping responsibility
• Schedule meetings with the company well in advance!

Managing people:
• Gantt chart and distribution of tasks AGREED between all members
• Distribution of tasks: a simple tool to make sure the distribution of tasks is fair and to keep track of the timing! – good in case of conflicts
Week Tasks Tesla Edison Faraday Bell
1 Identify energy storage solutions x
1 Identify suitable power switches x
1 Identify microcontroller x
1 Identify mechanical fixtures x
2 Identify energy storage solutions x
2 Identify suitable power switches x
2 First programming tests microcontroller x
2 Purchase of mechanical fixtures x
Managing money:
• In this case… simple! (not always the case)
• Keep track of the expenses and make sure that you collect all your receipts
• Have a clear idea of the maximum budget available
Writing the report:
• The report needs to include:1. Introduction – general context and problem introduction
2. Detailed problem description – specifications and requirements, desired properties, boundary conditions, operation conditions, etc.
3. Concept evaluations – results of the brainstorming process, evaluation of different properties / qualities of the proposed concepts
4. Preliminary design of the selected concept – “detailed” specification of the winner concept, identification and sizing of components, CAD drawings, mechanical / electrical / thermal calculations and simulations…
5. Future work – potential improvements, considerations for the prototype manufacturing
Thank you and good luck!!

Axis Back FocusMechanism

www.axis.com
Different from motorized lens cameras, the box camera offers various zoom fixed lens. The fixed lens need to focus manually and may need a difficult slight adjustment which can normally be done by just slightly turning the lens one way or the other. While with auto back focus, you just need to click one button to finished the focusing, which greatly save the installation time and get better image focus.
An auto back focus could also be used for adjusting focus when cameras is exposed to variations in temperature.
Why need Auto Back Focus?
www.axis.com
Back focus
Printed circuit board
Image sensor
Glass filterLensBack focus movement +/- 0.5 mm
12.5 mm
Requirements:
• Movement +/- 0.5 mm
• Resolution for each step: max
2.5µm
• Temp +60ºC to -40ºC
• Low cost
• No back-lash when changing
directionHousing
Task: Find a solution for moving the Sensor-PCB

Axis Mechanical Eyelid for Cameras
10 September 2019
www.axis.com
The problem derives from that people want to know when they are filmed and when they
are not. Today it is not easy to see if a surveillance camera is recording or not.
At most a small led is showing this.
> It should be very clear to the user that the camera is not recording.
> The design should be slim and appealing.
> It will run with power from the I/O port from the camera.
> The solution will be an accessory for the camera.
> It should be controlled by the user from a distance.
Mechanical Eye-lid for Camera
Extracorporeal blood circuitpressure monitoring
• BackgroundDuring dialysis, the patient is connected to a dialysis machine that cleans and pulls fluid from the patient’s blood. Inside the dialysis machine there is a fluid path containing dialysis fluid with high requirements on composition, conductivity and temperature among other things.
• Current solutions
+ Low price- Limited usability- Contact with air
+ No air connection+ User friendly- Expensive- Saturation of membrane
• Objective• To measure pressure without luer or POD
connection, directly on the bloodline.
• Range -400 -> 1000 mmHg.
• User friendly (easily mounted/dismounted from machine).
• No added cost to disposable, i.e. the bloodline, the machine can have a higher cost though.
Dialysis pulse oximeter for comfortable measuring
• BackgroundDialysis patients usually suffer from cardiovascular disease. During treatment, they experience blood pressure drop and increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest.Cardiac activity NOT monitored during dialysis today.
• Current solutions • Objective• Develop a comfortable pulse oximeter for
neck measurements
• Improve the quality of the pulse signals to predict pressure drop
Finger pulse oximeter – ECG3 times a week x 4 hours

iDM electric park-lock unit
Add ”Hand break” functionality to our existing iDM.
The park-lock unit is meant to be offered as an optional feature to our customers.
It should be a stand alone unit that is not fully integrated in the iDM.
The solution needs to be reliable and low power consumption.

iDM Disconnect unit. In some applications several iDMs
are used in the same vehicle.
In this case one of them could be disengaged in order to increase energy efficiency or extend the speed range.
This project aims at developing a disconnect unit that can be offered as an option to our costumers.
The unit should fit in the existing space.

Fall simulation methodologyMechatronics project 2019-2020
Fall detection technology
Camera/radar/lidar Wearable alarm button Accelerometer-based alarm
Big data – but what data?
Fall dummy:
• Correct mass and size
• Ragdoll like behaviour
• Excellent tool for modellingcollapse
Where do you come in?
This means building an exoskeleton.
Scope/requirements
• At minimum, the project will result in a mechanized model of one leg (which can later be reproduced to form a full lower body)
• If there is time to create two legs, the system can be tested in a better way
• We need to model three joints, with different degrees of freedom
• Each joint should have a dampening mechanism (preferably electronically adjustable) in order to model different muscular strengths
• The construction must survive a large number of falls onto a hard surface
