Project 2 - Design and Development of Pulse Oximeter (Medical Technology)

Task 4

Task 5

So the main area where the DFMA will be maing the most impact is planning of assembly of the device. Also how to make the device use the least amount of energy and material to be produced. So the assembly of the oximeter neess to be planned inorder for it to be not able to be revrse engineered and leave the leasta mount of waste material. I would make use of AI for getting the assembly line in order. If i wish to use human assembly line along with the machines, then I have to evaluate first which person can do what the best. Since the machines will be doing the most part the human being should be able to monitorn the machine while it goes on with the work. Also too long of a process will certainly take a lot opf energy as well as time and will not be either cost efficient or time efficient. So I will have just a few of the process line. With the AI analysis on the assemblyline I can reduce the amount of steps it will take to make a device and I cut the process short. This wil lead to lesser energy usage. A viewe on the themals of the machiones will also help me save on energy. Also some of the materials can be 3D printed to save time. Now when carbon fiber will be used for 3D printedd so the cost regarding getting the material processed beforehand will be cut off. Also the double cost for shipping will be removed. So if generation of one oximeter if it was going to cost 1000 at first will not go down to 800 including shipping charges. Also getting the materials made in the home company itself is benefitial for the company. Now getting the material 3D printed and made in the company itself is quite environment friendly. It saves up on the detyeoration that would have happened in getting the material made soemwhere else and then gfetting it shipped twice and throwing away excess material. Now since the material that will be used is carbon fiber, thye material stronger than stell but polluter of environment. So what would we do. We will ask the users to like return the piece that has been destroyed. Now if it is repairable, we will repair it, but if it is not repairable we will recycle it. For giving back to the comapny the user will be given off on the next billing of the oximeter. This way any working oximeters will be restored and sold to small buisnesses at a discounted price and the customers get a discount.This will reduce the amount of waste in the landfills. now we just cannot just go and launch the product in the market right? So for launching we need to get the permission from the higher ups. Now how to get that? Prototyping. Once the design is approved by the design team, some people are shortlisted for making the prototype, but since the company is targetting to make everything in their premises, the prototypes will be made by the manufacturing team. The made prototypes will be tested and data collected from the public and doctors if they will be intrigued with the design and go on with it. Once the protoype with the best reviews is obtained the production will begin. All of the parts will be printed in the company itself, so the design will be made modular and robust. A chain of human will be used to assemble the product after its made. Now the PCB will be made by the electronics department of the company and design will be overseen by the design team. The large scale, heavy duty 3D printer wil be used to make the base. The PCB will be made complex that will make it hard to revrse engineer. Since the machine will be of integral architecture it will not take much time to be made. The oximeter will be 3D printed since 3D printing is the fastest way till date to make a part or a whole pieve of a car. That's why we will get the oximeter 3D printed. For maing it harder to be revrse engineered, the PCB needs to be made complicated and the oximetr nearly impossible to be opened by a hand. Such things will protectt he devcie from being revrse engineered. Now regardignt the software, the best computer engineers will be asked to make the code without outside help so that the code is unique and only 2 applications can be actiovated onmce after beign downloaded. Such measures can be taken to prevent revrse engineeing.
