Diagnoses and quality assessment procedures for an RFID robot

Abstract

A company must verify its products’ quality before serving them as clients will expect a correct performance. This is crucial when the product is a robot which has a lot of components that influence its behaviour. This dissertation defines a set of procedures for the diagnosis and quality assessment of a specific RFID robot which lacks a methodology to check if it satisfies the design requirements. A diagnoses mechanism is developed to find out if any of the robot’s components are inoperative. A list of processes is then created so that the person assigned to the robot follows them in order to test the quality of the robot and its components before being dispatched fulfilling the specifications. Finally, an interface improves the usability of both diagnoses and quality assessments. These procedures will not only help to test the robot but also analyse its weaknesses and correcting them in future models.Quan un producte és fabricat es comproba la seva qualitat abans de ser venut esperant un rendiment establert. Aquest Treball de Fi de Grau es centra en definir uns procediments per realitzar diagnòstics i evaluacions de qualitat a un robot RFID el qual manca d’una metodologia per saber si compleix els requeriments de disseny. S’han desenvolupat uns mecanismes per trobar si algun dels components del robot falla. Després s’ha creat una llista de procediments perquè siguin seguits pel tècnic encarregat del robot per tal evaluar el comportament del robot abans de ser entregat al client. Finalment s’ha creat una interficie per millorar la usabilitat tant dels diagnòstics com de les evaluacions de qualitat. Aquests procediments no només ajudaran a examinar al robot, també serviran per analitzar els seus punts febles i poder-los corregir en futurs models.
