Boeing Team Tech CompetitionI wish I was an Oscar Mayer wiener…
Agenda: • Announcements • Boeing Social • Oscar Mayer Visit (May April 29th, 30th, or May 1st at 4 pm) http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QJSQJBZ • Brief Research Topics Discussion • Review Trip to Carol Stream, IL • Start building trap door prototype and rubber meat
Problem Statement Oscar Mayer is looking for a machine to place the meat into their Lunchable trays. They currently have people placing the meat in by hand. The new design will have to be simple with few robotic features, easy to maintain, easy to clean, flexible for more or less meat, and stay within or around the original $1500 budget.
Research Topics: • OSHA Regulations- Sanitation checklist and regulations on wordpress • Amanda • Catherine • Meat properties • Kelly D • Charlotte • Jennifer • Other companies- How do they package food? What ideas can we take away from them? • Ryan • Jason • Xiran • Types of blade to cut meat- is there anything being used besides the spinning blade we’ve seen? • Josafat • Kaitlin • James • Sensors • Patrick • Kelly K • Emily
Peacock Engineering Plant • 29 people on the line! • 4 meat placers • 2 or less people on meat or it isn’t worth it • Ends already off • Material of conveyer belt • Ham kept at 28-30 degrees • Moving at 132 packages/min (double lane) • Sealer and gas flush are the limiters • Try to get to 140 packages/min • About 1 ft from conveyer to bottom of the tray • two 10 hour shifts • Clean between shifts, cover electric equipment and use a high pressure spray down • Meat is $2/lb • 10,000 lb a month of recycled meat
Trap Door Prototype: • Cut and attach metal sheet to wood • Cut taller semi-circle from pipe • Drill hole in semi-circle for dowel • Cut hole in sheet and wood • Cut piece of pipe for trap door • Make “plunger” • Cut “meat slices” out of rubber
