How can we make a system that measures or- ganic waste and is accepted by users
Kilian Tessel, Koen Schoute & Bart Okkels
Abstract
Current measurement methods for determining the destination of organic waste takes too much time and mon- ey for effective use.
We produced a prototype that demon- strates a cheap way to indicate the optimal destination for organic waste.
Thereby demonstrating that it is pos- sible to measure organic waste cheap and quickly. This was possible by compromising on accuracy.
We investigated the usability of the prototype, which is necessary for adoption by end users.
This showed that the usability of the prototype is not yet sufficient.
Methodology
A system to measure moisture(%), acidi- ty(pH) and salinity(ec, ppm) with a sen- sor
A scenario for the participants to test our system
Observing the participants while testing
Observation plan
A survey for the participants after the test
Conclusion
It is possible to create a system to measure organic waste
We made a base system
Sensor values are currently not reliable
System is not user friendly enough
Introduction
New technologies make it interesting to process or- ganic waste in a new mate- rial. Current methods to de- termine the best pro- cessing method take too long and cost too much.
Our goal is to determine if we can create a system that analyzes the organic waste fast and accurate, and is user friendly.
Results
Recommenda- tions
Convert the measured data into useful data for the user
Create one sensor probe which contains all three sen- sors
A progress bar must be im- plemented when the meas- urement starts
System has to be more ro- bust and trustworthy
The system does not look professional
