Jose Lemus is a senior mechanical engineering student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. This semester, he worked in an independent study to understand product integration and industrial automation using Vuforia Studio AR by simulating the Pilot Process Machine. The machine automatically dispenses the desired color and quantity of Skittles for users. UMass engineering capstone teams developed the components of this machine throughout the semester. The implementation of AR was essential in the development process as it demonstrated the functionality of the integrated machine and helped in the design and integration process. Jose will be starting at PTC as an Associate in the Technical Rotational Leadership Development Program after graduating. Video of his final project linked here.
