Anti-Collision of Tower-Cranes
BackGallery
This project was a comprehensive learning experience for me, from understanding the fundamentals of electronics to mechanical engineering. This is a project where you save lives, yes that's correct, it was a project where you needed to prevent tower cranes from colliding. The initial prototype was created in Rasberri Pie and developed in Python. It was afterwards migrated to indurstial hardware such as PLC (process logic controller) and VFD where the entire logic was the same. The deployment phase was the most difficult phase because after a lot of rigorous testing on the prototype we were finally confident about, no one came forward for the final production because if the project failed, it would cost millions of dollars in property damage, which was insane, but after a lot of demo and the confidence we carried that made us into final deployment, yes we finally deployed it in on wipro construction site hyderabad the first phase was succesfull. If you ask me what the logic is behind it, I would say a basic mathematical formula that I learnt in high school arithmetic, yes the shortest distance between two line segments. Finally, the grade paid for this project, The outcome of this project where I overcame my fear of heights as a result of it, and I dropped about 5kg. I later realised that this project was a whole wealth of experience.
