Advanced Water Dispenser Sensor System: Precise Control and UV Activation

Client Request

Future Hub was approached by a client in Dubai, UAE, with a unique request: the development of a sensor system to control the water dispensing valve for five units. The system needed to have the capability to detect the presence of a hand or container and simultaneously activate the UV light within the dispenser.

Challenges

This project presented several intricate challenges:

    • Accurate Sensing: Designing a sensor system that could precisely detect the presence of a hand or container.
    • Durable Materials: Selecting materials that were both robust and suitable for use within a water dispenser.
    • Electrical Safety: Ensuring the electrical system’s safety and compatibility with the dispenser’s power supply.
    • Tight Timeline: The project had to be completed within a demanding three-day deadline.

Solution

Future Hub’s team devised an ingenious solution:

  • Optical Sensor System: We crafted a sensor system employing an AUTONICS BRQM400-DDTA optical sensor, ensuring precise detection.
  • Power Supply: A Meanwell 24-volt power supply and relay were incorporated into the system to power and control the components.
  • Functionality: The sensor system detects the presence of a hand or container and promptly commands the electric valve to open the solid valve. Simultaneously, it activates the UV light within the dispenser.
  • Customized Holders: Custom holders were meticulously fabricated for each dispenser unit, ensuring seamless integration.
  • Durability: Our system was designed to be both durable and suitable for use within a water dispenser.
  • Deadline Achievement: Despite the tight three-day timeline, the project was successfully completed.
