Tree Planting Application for Dormitories

Abstract

This project involves the development of a plant care system for dormitories using IoT (Internet of Things). The system is implemented through programming on an ESP-32 board and controlled via sensors for automated watering. The commands are operated through smartphones, supporting both iOS and Android. It is expected that this project will make plant care in dormitories easier and more convenient.

Objective

ในปัจจุบันหลายพื้นที่ในเมืองมีความหนาแน่นของประชากรสูง เช่นหอพัก คอนโดมิเนียม หรือ อพาต์เม้น มักมีพื้นที่จำกัดสำหรับการปลูกต้นไม้ซึ่งเป็นไปใจในการสร้างสภาพแวดล้อมที่ดีและสุขภาพที่ดีให้กับผู้อยู่อาศัย การสร้างแอพพลิเคชันปลูกต้นไม้นี้ขึ้นมาเพื่อให้ผู้อาศัยสามารถปลูกต้นไม้ได้ในพื้นที่จำกัดและสามารถดูแลต้นไม้ได้เหมาะกับคนรุ่นใหม่ที่ไม่มีเวลาในการดูแลต้นไม้ก็สามารถปลูกพืชได้ซึ่งแอพพลิเคชันนี้ได้ออกแบบเพื่อให้ผู้ใช้งานสามารถเลือกต้นไม้ที่เหมาะสมกับพื้นที่จำกัดและมีคำแนะนำสำหรับการดูแลต้นไม้แก่ผู้ที่สนใจหรือต้องการศึกษา ด้วยความสำคัญดังกล่าว แอพพลิเคชันปลูกต้นไม้นี้ไม่เพียงแต่อำนวยความสะดวกให้กับผู้ใช้งานแต่ยังเป็นการสนับสนุนการพัฒนาที่ยั่งยืนและเต็มไปด้วยพื้นที่สีเขียว

Productivity Improvement in Warehouse Using Power BI and Power Automate

This cooperative education project aims to enhance speed and facilitate the verification process for stock issuance, transfers, distributions, and receipts in the warehouse. The primary focus is to address issues related to wasted time and delays in operational processes. Through analysis, it was found that SAP, the current system, involves complex processes requiring specialized expertise. Although the company has developed the iWarehouse system to improve efficiency, delays and procedural complexity persist. To resolve these challenges, Power BI was utilized to visualize data related to stock issuance, transfers, distributions, and receipts, allowing warehouse staff to work more efficiently by minimizing waste and accelerating processes. Additionally, Power Automate was integrated to automate the processing of received stock numbers from emails, reducing errors and delays caused by manual data entry. The results of this improvement indicate a significant increase in employee efficiency and a noticeable reduction in wasted time. Upon project completion, the findings and development approach will be provided to the company for further enhancement.

DESIGN OF HIGH-POWER CONVERTER FOR ELECTROLYZER APPLICATION INTERFACING WITH PV SYSTEM

This research focuses on the design and development of a high-power converter to regulate energy supply from solar cells (Photovoltaic: PV) to a hydrogen production unit (Electrolyzer), which is a crucial component in advancing renewable energy in alignment with the RE100 initiative. Specifically, this study targets Green Hydrogen, which is generated through the water electrolysis process using clean energy from solar cells, ensuring zero emissions and environmental sustainability. The proposed converter includes of a Three-Level NPC Inverter, transformer, Full-Bridge Rectifier, and LC filter to enhance the power quality supplied to the electrolyzer. The system's design and simulation were conducted using MATLAB and Simulink to evaluate circuit performance and analyze operational efficiency. Simulation was conducted using MATLAB and Simulink to evaluate circuit performance and analyze operational efficiency. Additionally, a microcontroller-based control system is integrated with a gate driver circuit to optimize the electrolysis process by reducing power losses. This proposed converter effectively converts PV energy into suitable voltage and current levels for the electrolyzer while maintaining high hydrogen production efficiency.

Enhancing Sustainable Fish Gelatin Properties through Furcellaran Incoporation: Innovations in Eco-friendly Gelling Techniques

Fish gelatin is increasingly recognized as an alternative source of gelatin, but its use has been limited due to weak gelling properties. To address these issues, the effect of furcellaran, a gelling agent, was examined at various levels (25-100% FG substitution) on the structural and physicochemical properties of FG gels. As the amount of FUR increased to 25%, the FG/FUR gel showed improved hardness and gel strength (P<0.05). Additionally, increasing FUR levels led to higher gelling and melting points, showing a dose-dependent relationship. Microstructural analysis revealed that adding FUR created a denser gel network with smaller gaps. SAXS scattering intensities also increased as FUR concentration rose. Overall, adding FUR improved the gelling properties of FG without negatively affecting springiness and syneresis, enhancing gel strength and gelling temperature.
