Hungary

Our school,Szeged Vocational Center Miksa Deri Technical School is located in Szeged, the regional centre of the the southern region of Hungary near the borders to Serbia and Romania, about 180 kms from the capital of the country, Budapest. Our school was founded in 1894, it is one of the oldest educational institutions of the region. In 2020 we started the 126th academic year. Although the school was renamed several times and the vocational training system of Hungary is undergoing a structural change, the basic principles remained the same: to prepare students for further studies in the technical field, to provide students basic and specialised technical knowledge. We offer training programmes in three sectors of technical field: mechanical and electrical engineering, ICT. Machine and CNC cutting, industrial IT technician, mechatronics technician, automation technician, manufacturing engineering technician and electronics technician courses are available now. The school has about 650 students and 85 teachers.


Contribution

Our task in the project is to keep track of the disks in a central database by processing signals from the various workstations. Our students are also working on the webshop in cooperation with German students.

In March, 2020 the first network system sketch looked like the following flow chart.

By October, 2020 we have built an integrated control tool to show the status of a 3D printer workstation to the central database. This device can communicate directly with the remote backend over the Internet when connected to a WiFi network. Clicking a button, we can follow the process of starting and finishing printing a disc of a chosen colour in the central database. We have set up a visualization website (demo.derimiksa.hu), where anyone can track the status of printing on a graph in real time.

Schematic diagram of the current system

Our system is ready to receive and process data from all workstations in all participating countries in the near future. First we are connecting the German chip sorter to the system.

Next all partner workstations will be connected one by one.
