WEEK14: COMPILE AND SUBMIT PROPOSAL AND 3 CHAPTER

Alhamdulillah..finally i finished submit all the FYP1 assessment to supervisor at the due date he set. Hope next semester all the plan run smoothly.

WEEK13: SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW AND METHODOLOGY

 Summary for Literature review

From the literature review of this project, UPC barcode has been chosen to be used because it is much widely used compared to the other type of barcode because it is widely used in almost food products. For the barcode scanner, handheld barcode scanner is the best choice because it is cheap and easy to handle which similar to the objective of this project which is to build ‘Portable Barcode Scanner for Halal Product’.

Summary for Methodology

Based on the methodology, this project is ready to be developed. There might be some changing in the middle of the project progress depend on the situation. However, hopefully there might not be a big changing as long as the objectives and aim of this project are achieved.

WEEK12: CONTINUE..

Summary in introduction chapter

‘Halal Barcode Detection System’ device operate when user switch on the device. After that, barcode scanner will emit the red laser light. User need direct the laser to the product barcode. Once the barcode scanner detects the barcode, it will convert the data into a form of binary digit before send it to the PIC. After receiving the barcode, PIC will collect the data on that barcode and sent it to the LCD display and LED as an output.

As the primer result, it can be said that the system will be developed to detect the barcode and compared it with the reference data. The result will display the product’s status and the product’s name on the LCD if the data are match. Otherwise, the LCD will display the statement which will inform the user that the product’s barcode are not in the list. Indirectly, it will inform the user that the products are not verified by JAKIM.

To check for new product, just direct the barcode scanner to the product barcode. The devices will automatic delete the previous data and set for the new data. To turn off the device just simply turn off the power switch.

WEEK11: COMPLETE PROPOSAL AND 3 CHAPTER

I plan for this week until week 14 to complete my project proposal and 3 chapter. Actually the project proposal is already done but i need to check once again to make the proposal has no error. All content is followed by proposal guideline which is give in RPS. The content is include:

1. Literature review
2. Methodology
3. Work Plan 
4. Budget
   

WEEK10: FYP1 PRESENTATION DAY

This week i present my project to Dr Khushairi and Madam Azalina. Both of them satisfied with my presentation but they want more add on value for this project. So this week i do another research to put the add on value.

WEEK9: DISCUSSION WITH SUPERVISOR

I use this week to discuss about my slide and proposal progress. Supervisor satisfied with my slide presentation and proposal progress. He also give tips when presentation day.

WEEK8: FYP1 PRESENTATION (POSPONED)

This week is FYP1 presentation at Dewan Gemilang Hall but its always expect the unexpected. The presentation is postponed to week 10. I already done with my slide. So hope this postponed has hikmah.

WEEK7: IDENTIFY HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE USE

The project can be divided by two main parts which is hardware and software:

A.    Hardware Development

The hardware part consists of barcode scanner devices and computer’s screen for displaying the output result. The suitable barcode scanner has been chosen to scan the products’ barcode and send display the output result on the computer’s screen.

B.     Software Development

The software part consists of Visual Basic 6.0 to develop and design the programming. The programming will be used to detect the products’ barcodes and isolate it by their own categories before displaying the output result on the computer’s screen.

WEEK6: CONTINUE...

      Objective

There are few objectives to be achieved in this project:

1. To develop a barcode scanner where it can detect products’ barcodes accurately in order to identify the products’ status.
2. To analyze scanned data and display it on computer’s screen using Visual Basic.

  Benefict

Halal products are fast gaining worldwide recognition as a new benchmark for safety and quality assurance. Products that are produced with halal certification are readily acceptable by muslim consumers as well as consumers from other religions. But the certification or logo can be modified by the manufacturer because is not easy to obtain it. With this project, manufacturer cannot modified or barcode because it have own standard.  In other words using barcode is more accurate compare to logo. This project will help seller who have responsibility about other muslim care. After that the consumer can find the benefit according to this project.
