Bathroom Entry and Soap Dispenser Detection Paul Chang, Joe Contreras, Alejandro Gari Georgia Tech ECE4007/L03 December 10, 2009
Did you know? • In industrialized nations, up to • 30 percent suffer from food contamination • In the US, 76 million people suffer and 5,000 die annually from food contamination • Within 12 hours, one bacterium that splits itself every half hour can create 17 million bacteria
Key Points • System to track employee hand-hygiene • Reduce the chances of food contamination • The system is being designed for Arby’s • The cost of the system is $1,730
Design Objectives • Detect entry and exit of employee • Detect use of soap dispenser • Logging of RFID tag data • Real-time alarm • Targeted for food service industry • Detects entry of employee • Detects when soap is dispensed • Logs of soap or non-soap usage • Targeted for food service industry Proposed Objectives Final Design Objectives
Design Approach • Have employee wear ankle bracelet, with RFID tag • Place antenna near entrance at floor level • Use Motion sensor to detect entry • Use IR sensor to detect soap dispensing • Create data logs through C program

Algorithm Issues • Restarting the Program to wait for next employee. • Employee is still in the restroom when a timeout occurs
Acceptance Testing • Component Communications RFID tag, IR sensor, and Motion sensor communication with eBox will be verified • Program Scenarios were tested and achieved a desired success rate of 80 percent • Simulation A simulation of the entire system was performed and is functioning
Recommended Future Work • Fix computer code so that program can restart properly after employee exits bathroom. • Expand design for multi-personnel restrooms.
