Samenvatting

The company ‘Mossel Culinair' hopes to increase mussel sales and the company's competitiveness by developing an intelligent and innovative mussel display stand. In 2018 and 2019, Chinese SMU/HZ students designed an incomplete display. In the old prototype, there was no automatic lifting system, no temperature control system, no decoration system, and no cooling system. Therefore, these systems are supposed to be built in the new 'Automatic Mussel Display' design based on the security and cost-effective aspects. The entire project includes software design and hardware design. The software design focuses on the design of the control logic, while the hardware design focuses on the connections between the various subsystems. This report describes the process of completing the 'Automatic Mussel Display' design and building the prototype.

First introduced the company background and mission, and then rise the main research question of the project: What is the best design to complete the Automatic Mussel Display mechatronic design (with all requirements) in the form of a prototype and uses the resources (money, workshop, and tools) provided by the company?

The related theoretical knowledge of the project, mainly including the working principles of the relevant components are presented. Followed by the design method adopted in this project and the corresponding deliverables of each phase. The results obtained in the project are described. The system is divided into five sub-systems:
1. Control subsystem: Control the subsystems;
2. Lifting subsystem: Open and close the upper shell;
3. Human detection subsystem: Detect the human movement;
4. Decoration subsystem: Turn on the music and LED light;
5. Spray subsystem: Spray the sea smell.

The design of each sub-system, the test plan of the sub-system, and the test results of the sub-system are described in different sections. The test results of integrating all the subsystems into one system are introduced.
A discussion of the results of this project is inserted. First, discuss whether the requirements are met, and the conclusion is that all test results meet the list of demands. Then the unresolved problems in the project are discussed and possible solutions are given. Then discussed the effort of the V-model in the project.

Finally, the conclusions and recommendations of the project were drawn. Through the construction and test results of the prototype, it was demonstrated that the new "Automatic Mussel Display" design is realized. It is recommended to increase the number of sensors to improve the accuracy of the system and combine the electrical part of this project with the mechanical part of the designer Martijn Moerland to obtain a complete muscle display design (Moerland, 2021).
