Methodology

Garlic Planter is mechanized farming machinery designed and developed to perform planting of
garlic seeds with regular spacing in a row and at regular depth. To design and develop this
machine different methods have been used.it includes different data collection methods, but due
to shortage of time primary source of data are limited since there is lack of adequate time to
communicate with stakeholders to get accurate information the extent of the effects of the
position of the garlic, depth and spacing, the causing area and other factors affecting the
germination of the garlic. It mainly relays on secondary source data for carrying out this project
in identifying, selecting, processing and analyzing the project. In this design project literature
review was used as a reference for supporting the whole process. It is used for finding out the
suitable parameters for planting garlic including planting depth, raw distance, seed size and
more. for the completion of this project, it passes through the product design and development
steps and it started with a plan defining a project mission and developing a concept based on the
defined mission. a system level design was done after defining the product based on a mission
and decomposing it into subsystems. Detail designs defining the complete specification and
material selection was carried out. specific standard procedures and techniques to design the
garlic clove planter are used.

Identification of the problem

the gap between the current condition and desired one based on real facts are identified and
explained, a concise description of the problems are clearly stated and the conditions to be
improved are written.

Literature review

It is comprehensive review and summary of previous research.in this portion about this topic,
title and sub title are studied from previous works or researches. These increases understanding
about the whole idea the concerned area. In the study of each literature the advantage and
limitation of the previous work and its working principle are taken. And also, overall view of
hand garlic planter and the method designing are analyzed. by enumerating, describing and
objectively clarify the previous research and identified why we are making further study by
placing our research context within the existing ones.

Material selection

In the design process, the material selection discusses about the material properties, cost of the
material and its manufacturing process. After all of these, suitable material that most fits to the
desire of the design are selected.
Geometric analysis

In geometric analysis overall dimensions that come from direct measurement or different
assumptions are presented.

Detail design analysis

This is where the design was refined the plans, specifications and estimates are created. The
design analysis includes the strength analysis and each detail analysis of each component.

Results and Discussion

Based on the above results using the actual data and numbers a comparison with the previous
works and finding are made.

Cost analysis

For the feasibility of this design project, by figuring out its benefits outweigh costs are
determined and justified. it began by making lists, which includes all the expenses of the project
together with the benefits that will derive from it once the project will be completed.

Part and assembly drawing

In this portion each component of the machines are drawn by using the values obtained from the
detailed design analysis and finally assemble the drawing. This means where we made 2D and
3D models with plans and specifications. This makes the project clearer and easier to
manufacture.

Report

an information based on the result of the research and analysis of data are compiled in a single
document.
