VISUALIZATION

CHALLENGE: I am working on a challenging project which aims at developing an automated ceiling fan cleaning  system to reduce human effort .Nowadays, the comfort of human being has got great consideration in the  planning and developing a certain manufacturing process, this because of the improvement of life standard of  the people. In addition, working environments which are repetitive in their nature, the use of human labour  will not be a satisfactory solution, and then introducing a methodology or mechanisms to solve these problems is  needed. Therefore, automation or robotics becomes a very vital and important engineering solution to such  problems. Households of today are becoming smarter and more automated. Home automation delivers  convenience and creates more time for people. Domestic robots are entering the homes and people’s daily  lives, but it is yet a relatively new and immature market. However, a growth is predicted and the adoption of  domestic robots is evolving. Several cleaners are available on the market but only few ones implement  cleaning of fans. The purpose of this project is to design and implement a ceiling fan cleaning robot. Ceiling fan  cleaning robot is designed to make cleaning process become easier rather than by using manual labour. The  main objective of this project is to design and implement a ceiling fan cleaning robot.

SELECTION: This project definition being quit unique yet very complex in nature for common people to  understand using visualisation as a tool to make people understand this new concept in field of engineering is  the most liable way of moving forward with the project and making sure everyone understands and supports  what they see.

APPLICATION: Since this an complex engineering problem I started with developing sketches and drawings of  rough mechanisms and using graphics to help make people understand the need of developing this project in a  larger scale .upon finalising of a design procedure we continued with developing cad models and render them  into simulated to help better understand the work nature of this project scope.

We held many group discussion and meetings with people responsible to handle work along with the  management committee to ensure that the progress is continued and problems are discussed and solved  during these meetings which boost team moral and ensure continuous growth

INSIGHT: What I have learned from conducting this exercise with several groups is that while the graphic –  especially the revised graphic that incorporates their feedback – is important for reinforcing their  understanding of the problem they are working to solve, the more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared  insights and shared learning that occurs while they are working to define their problem space. graphics help  ensure everyone has the same mind-set while working the problem and this helps maintain focus and  improves the workability of the work staff

APPROACH: I discovered that using visualization is very trusted link in combining all those involved and  ensuring that project concept is understandable and approachable to everyone who sees it. This ensures  complete participation of people involved and avoids any blank minds in the first place. Everyone sticks to the  problem statement and this ensures reliability and improves work culture
