2024-01-04T08:55:39+07:00

The aim of this research is to create a storage case for special controlled drug and find out the efficiency of medicine storage boxes for special controlled drug. The researchers designed a storage case for special controlled drug using Arduino as a control. Inside the box, there is an LCD screen showing the number of pills. When taking the medicine out to use, there is a limit switch that is used to count the six doses of the medicine. Use a 220-volt electrical system. There is power from a 5,000 mAh backup battery in case of a power outage. Turning on and alerting when less than two doses are remaining will cause the LED to notify. Experiment to determine the efficiency of counting the number of doses of 6 drugs from 20 trials. It was found that there were two errors in total, which resulted in an average of 10 percent error from normal operation. Which in the test was considered to be at a good level.

The development of an automatic plastic pipe-cutting machine for electrical cables is presented in this proposed paper. The goal is to improve and increase efficiency in Thai Arrow Co., Ltd.'s production process by switching from manual to automatic cutting of plastic electrical cable-covered pipes (COT pipes) using a newly developed cutting machine. The operation of the designed automatic plastic pipe-cutting machine is controlled by the PLC, which makes the workpiece extremely precise. It supports the reduction of workpiece errors and contributes to the decrease in employee numbers. The experiment results revealed that workpieces cut with an automatic cutting machine had 4.75 times fewer errors than workpieces cut by hand. The automated cutting machine produced workpieces with an average error of 16.67%, while the average error rate of workpieces cut by company employees was 79.16%. Furthermore, the tolerances of workpieces cut by automatic cutting machines are lower than those cut by company employees. The Automatic cutting machines have a maximum error of only 0.5mm, whereas workpieces cut by company employees have a maximum error of 3mm.

Water Turbidity Test Apparatus by Using an Embedded System

The objective of designing a water turbidity testing machine is to create an efficient device for testing the turbidity of water. This testing apparatus was developed to be used in the Srisongkram District, Srisongkram Sub-District, Nakhon Phanom Province. The testing process involves two rounds of testing, with each round consisting of two tests, each lasting for 50 seconds, using the Jar Test method. Through experimentation, it was found that the performance of the water turbidity testing machine with the Embedded-based system was significantly more efficient than the traditional manual testing apparatus. The previous manual system required constant monitoring at each step of the testing process, whereas the new system, controlled by the Embedded system, automated the process, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Additionally, the new testing apparatus is user-friendly, making it suitable for individuals who are not experts in Jar Testing. Overall, the developed water turbidity testing machine effectively fulfills the research objectives.
