Rotten Fruit Classification for Industrial

Abstract

The development of a fruit spoilage detection system originates from the need to reduce agricultural product losses, a global issue affecting both the agricultural and food distribution industries. Spoiled fruit can negatively impact product quality and result in significant economic losses. The primary goal of this system is to assist in screening and removing unsuitable fruit from the supply chain, thereby preserving product quality and meeting consumer demands for fresh produce. The system was designed to simulate the sorting process by utilizing images as a key factor in detecting spoiled fruit. Experimental results demonstrated high efficiency and rapid prediction capabilities, highlighting the system’s potential for practical applications.

Objective

ระบบตรวจจับผลไม้เน่ามีที่มาจากความต้องการในการลดการสูญเสียผลผลิตทางการเกษตร ซึ่งเป็นปัญหาที่เกิดขึ้นทั่วโลกโดยเฉพาะในอุตสาหกรรมการเกษตรและการจัดจําหน่ายอาหาร ผลไม้ที่เน่าเสียจะส่งผลกระทบต่อคุณภาพของผลิตภัณฑ์และสามารถก่อให้เกิดความสูญเสียทางเศรษฐกิจได้อย่างมาก การพัฒนาระบบตรวจจับผลไม้เน่าจึงมีเป้าหมายเพื่อช่วยในการคัดกรองและแยกผลไม้ที่ไม่เหมาะสมออกจากกระบวนการจัดส่ง เพื่อรักษาคุณภาพของสินค้าและตอบสนองต่อความต้องการของผู้บริโภคที่ต้องการผลไม้สดใหม่

The project "30 Days Harvest" is inspired by the significant role agriculture plays in human society, particularly in providing food for consumption. However, farmers often face numerous challenges arising from environmental issues. The developers chose to highlight these problems through the creation of 30 Days Harvest, aiming to raise awareness among players about the impacts that farmers must endure, while still ensuring the game is enjoyable. The game also offers players the opportunity to think critically and devise strategies to deal with various challenges on their own. When the game starts, players take on the role of a farmer who must manage their farm to harvest the highest yield possible. The produce can be used to prepare meals or sold to customers within a limited timeframe. The goal of the game focuses on maximizing profits, which requires careful planning and analysis to overcome environmental obstacles. Additionally, players must ensure that their agricultural production is sufficient for food preparation. Along the way, they will also learn about the environmental impacts affecting agriculture.

Composite High-Pressure Tanks for CNG and Hydrogen (H₂)

A high-pressure gas storage tank made from composite materials, including carbon fiber, resin, and plastic, is designed for storing compressed natural gas (CNG) or hydrogen. This type of tank is classified as a Type IV high-pressure vessel. In this research, it is designed to operate at a pressure of 250 bar for the transportation of compressed natural gas.

Stirling Engine System for Green Energy

Stirling engine is the external heated engine that heat is sup-plied externally to the heater part of the engine. Thus, Stirling cycle engine can be employed with various sources of renewable energy such as biomass, biofuel, solar energy, geothermal energy, recovery heat, and waste. The integration of gasifier, burner, and heat engine as a power system offers more fuel choices of each local area with potential resources resulting independent from shortage and cost fluctuation of fossil fuel. This research aims to investigate the integration of the Stirling engine with a wood pellet gasifier for electric power generation. Biomass can be controlled to have continuously combustion with ultra-low toxic emission. Stirling engine, therefore, is a promising alternative in small-scale-electricity production. Even though many biomass-powered Stirling engines were successfully constructed and marketed but these engines and the use of biomass resources as fuel for power generation are quite new concepts in some developing countries. Especially, the capital cost of this engine is high and unaffordable for installation compared to other power systems. Therefore, this research aims to the study attractive and feasibility of the compact Stirling engine with green energy.
