Description
Summary:The objective of the study is to develop an application that will automate the process of server validation which is observing the status of the server via its LED colors. It is in the form of an executable LabVIEW program that contains the image processing functions and captures the real-time images of the LED and records the necessary output (color results) in a text file format which can be use for future analyzing purpose. Initially, the server validation processes were done manually with the testers' intervention. Testers have to observe the LED color by themselves. There are many available color detection methods available but most of them employ only hardware part and do not support the real-time image grabbing as per required in the server validation process. The project that is going to be developed is enhanced with the aim to solve these problems. The project's methodology can be divided into two: research methodology and design methodology. Research will generally focus on studying the available color detection methods. For the design methodology, a type of Spiral Development Model is adopted in view of the fact that the prototype is enhanced and refined from the previous prototype based on the recursive steps. As a conclusion, this Visual Automation Tool is a practical solution in supporting the manufacturing process by the means of automating it, using technology and future development.
