Smart Poultry Feeder

An automated feeder developed to explore a more controlled way of delivering poultry feed and reducing waste. The work moved from hand sketches to models, repeated prototypes and farm visits. Fitting the mechanism into a small space made the relationship between design, fabrication and assembly central to the project.

My role: Planning, prototyping coordination & integration

Behind the project

An early idea returned as a larger team project. We went through repeated adjustments because parts that made sense in a sketch did not always fit or move as intended when assembled. Taking the prototype to farms helped bring the design back to the people it was meant to serve.

My involvement

I contributed to the system plan, coordinated the mechanical and electronic work, and helped bring the prototype together. I also participated in farm visits and practical evaluation with the team.

Making an idea fit into a small space

The Smart Poultry Feeder began with sketches, but its hardest questions appeared during assembly. Parts had to fit into a compact space and move together in the intended way. Repeated prototypes, measurements and adjustments brought the mechanism closer to something we could take to a farm.
