Project Brief Project Description Sponsor Advisor MIE01 The final product consist of a modified existing nozzle where an active material actuator is built-in, which can modify the orifice size and/or shape upon mechanical and/or electrical control. Sponsor retains intellectual property. NDA is required. Travel is required to sponsor’s location. . Spraying Systems Co. 200 W. North Ave, Glendales Heights, IL Industrial Sponsor MIE02 Recent development work has produced sensors to monitor these sprays in real time in-process for pressure, flow, temperature, spray pattern, spray drop size, and spray impact. Many of these systems use patented laser- based technology (cool stuff!). These sensors feed online dashboards that show the current state of the sprays. This project will have the students 1) understand the current sensors offered by Spraying Systems 2) identify and design uses for the data streams 3) implement new sensors, dashboards, and tools and 3) develop marketing materials and return-on-investment (ROI) strategies to promote and find candidate customers.
