Semi-automated ingredient dispenser machine / Mohamad Firdaus Danis Hazimi Fahrurrazi

Dispensing multiple granular ingredients with low margin of error of amount is a hustle and fussy kind of work, faced by the operator at Jalen. Doing it repetitively for a long period of time will cause inconsistency of measurement and require a lot of energy to focus. Idea of semi-automated ingredient dispenser machine is generated to reduce the probability of error happen throughout the measuring process which at the same time reduce manpower. Roughly, process of making this machine started with generating few concepts design and simulated in a CAD software. Then the process continues to fabrication process which include several machining works include measuring, cutting and joining. Programming and electronic works also run in parallel with the fabrication process. Few key decisions are taken so the machine can overcome all the problems stated. In result, the machine is able to measure and dispense accurately as plan by reducing percentage error to at most 1%. However, elimination of manpower was not achieved, this machine is able to reduce it to only one operator
