It is time to announce the winners of the On The Line Design Challenge!
Let's quickly remind ourselves of the challenge and its theme, the prizes, and then get straight into it.
The Challenge
For a chance at winning one of the prizes, Challengers had to use the provided kit to build a smart industry-themed project and blog the build process here on the community, showcasing the features of the kit components in the most innovative, creative ways possible.

*Don't worry if a prize is out of stock in your region or does not have the right plug for you. We can ship from global stocks, include a plug adaptor, or find a local equivalent of a prize.
**Grand Prize and Runner Up winners will also earn the finisher prize.
The Winners
1st Place Winner
In conjunction with their Masters Thesis, arvindsa created a predictive maintenance system which uses sensors to detect when solar panels need cleaning before their output drops by too much.
2nd Place Winner
saramic designed a smart greenhouse monitoring system built around Arduino Nano nodes, an Arduino UNO Q hub, and a Python Flask dashboard.
3rd Place Winner
Industrial Line Sentinel (ILS)
skruglewicz created the ILS to act as an intelligent safety system for industrial environments, helping enforce PPE compliance by monitoring for workers not wearing a safety vest, not wearing protective glasses, or workers walking into a dangerous 'red zone'.
Finisher Prize
In no particular order
Smart Ventilation Motor Monitoring System Project on Labview
fyaocn designed an intelligent monitoring system for industrial ventilation motors, aiming to help avoid unexpected downtime and optimize maintenance cycles.
Misaz’s Experiments with Industrial Sensors
misaz conducted a number of experiments with the kit parts, show how to use them, how they work, how to use them for measurements and convert values back to real values, and much more besides.
Chiller Temperature Monitoring for Electrochemical Processing
pandoramc built a system for helping monitor and maintain the temperature in cooling systems such as those used in electrochemical processes like electropolishing, where high temperatures generated during the process could affect the quality of the final product.
AIoT: Smart Active Dry Box & Print Farm Supervisor
To solve the problem of degraded filament material quality in 3d print farms increasing print failure rates, Zhar_14 created a system combining an automated filament drying chamber for optimal filament quality and real-time monitoring to autonomously detect print failures using computer vision.
Congratulations to our winners and finishers, I hope this makes for a good start to the weekend! These were really creative projects and I strongly recommend checking out every one of them! I will be helping ship prizes for this design challenge so drop me a message if you have any questions at all.
Very well done to everyone who took part, commented, and discussed this challenge, and a big thanks also to the challenge's sponsors: Analog Devices, Molex, Emerson | NI, and DwyerOmega.
