In-Ovo Vaccination & Egg Inspection

About the project About the project: Designed and fabricated an automated in-ovo egg injection system for early chick vaccination using SolidWorks. Integrated Arduino-controlled servo mechanisms, ultrasonic/limit sensors, a custom conveyor belt, micro-drilling, and syringe injection. Key Capabilities: High-Throughput Production: Engineered for optimal automation, achieving an operational production rate of 120 to 150 eggs per hour. Kinematic & Structural Design: Optimized micro-drilling angles and linear injection stroke in SolidWorks. DFM & Rapid Prototyping: Prepared custom components for high-precision 3D printing (STL optimization). Manufacturing & Assembly: Manufactured structural sheet metal frames, 3D-printed modular moving parts, and supervised workshop assembly and DFM testing. Physical Testing: Successfully fabricated and tested the physical functional prototype with micro-actuators and drilling modules.
