Description
I am seeking a skilled engineer experienced in device development and GPS tech, who can create a Bluetooth anti-loss tracking device.
This will facilitate real-time tracking and locating of lost personal items. Key desired features for this device include:
– Stunning sound notifications.
– Advanced geofencing features.
– Operating through wifi, GSM, and GPS.
-Compact Design -Power Efficient
-NFC module
-Communication through Bluetooth to App
– Includes LED indicators and buttons for better usage.
Your experience with similar devices will be highly valued, as well as a strong understanding of durable and user-friendly design for personal belongings. If your talents lie in making everyday life more secure, then this project is yours to excel. Let’s prevent loss together!
Please design a product on Solidworks with the above, see reference photo. Include all Solidworks files.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you design this product:
### 1. Define the Product Requirements:
– **Size and Shape**: Determine the dimensions and shape of the device. It should be compact and portable.
– **Battery Life**: Decide on the battery size and type for long-lasting performance.
– **Durability**: Choose materials that are durable and weather-resistant.
### 2. Component Selection:
– **GPS Module**: Choose a small, energy-efficient GPS module.
– **GSM Module**: Select a GSM module for cellular communication.
– **Wi-Fi Module**: Pick a compact Wi-Fi module for local connectivity.
– **Microcontroller**: Choose a microcontroller that can handle inputs from these modules and manage power efficiently.
– **Battery**: Select a rechargeable battery suitable for the device’s size and power requirements.
– **Antennas**: Include antennas for GPS, GSM, and Wi-Fi signals.
### 3. Designing the Circuit Board:
– Use SolidWorks Electrical to design the PCB layout.
– Place the modules and microcontroller strategically for optimal performance and space utilization.
– Design the power supply circuitry, considering the power requirements of each module.
### 4. Creating the Enclosure:
– Use SolidWorks 3D CAD to design the external case.
– Ensure there’s enough space for all internal components.
– Design the case to be easy to open for battery replacement or charging, but secure enough to protect the internals.
– Include LED indicators for power, GPS, GSM, and Wi-Fi status.
– Make sure the design does not obstruct the signals for GPS, GSM, and Wi-Fi.
### 5. Assembly and Integration:
– Assemble all components in SolidWorks to check for fit and alignment.
– Ensure proper insulation and heat dissipation.
– Add screw holes or clips for easy assembly.
### 6. Prototyping:
– Once the design is complete, you can use 3D printing for creating a prototype of the case.
– Assemble a working prototype with the electronic components.
### 7. Testing and Iteration:
– Test the prototype for functionality, battery life, signal strength, and durability.
– Make necessary adjustments in the design based on testing results.
### 8. Finalizing the Design:
– Once testing is successful, finalize the design.
– Prepare the design files for manufacturing, including detailed assembly instructions.
### 9. Software Integration:
– Although not part of SolidWorks design, plan for the software that will interface with the GPS, GSM, and Wi-Fi modules for tracking.
Remember, SolidWorks is a powerful tool for the mechanical and electrical design aspects, but you’ll need additional software development for the product’s firmware and any companion app that might be used for tracking.
This guide provides a comprehensive approach to designing an anti-loss product, ensuring that all essential aspects are covered from the initial design phase to the final product.
Thank you!
