The Gear Guardians had a busy week this week! We made significant progress in our prototype development and attended the White Belt Six Sigma Workshop with FPL.

As prototype inspection day nears, our software team has been hard at work with the RFID system. After spending a few days (and many hours) in the lab, we have successfully integrated the RFID module to update the user interface. We will be able to demo this functionality at PID.

Our mechanical team has been busy researching methods for direction detection and finalizing concept sketches. At the PID we will show CAD models of the system and give a demo of the sensors that will be used to determine direction in or out of a doorway.

Finally, some of our team members attended a workshop by Florida Power and Light. At this workshop, they obtained a certification for the 6 Sigma White Belt Program. This was a very busy week for us, so we are looking forward to the long weekend on Veteran’s Day and eagerly awaiting our presentation day on Tuesday!
