ATALIS is an automated alcohol inventory control system for use in bars and restaurants.

Overall Need

Bars and restaurants lose up to 30 percent of their inventory due to alcohol “shrinkage” because of a lack of accurate and reliable inventory tracking.

Project Milestones1. 19 January 2011 – Design dimensions finalized2. 01 February 2011 – Prototype stand holder completed3. 01 March 2011 – Prototype bottle stand completed 4. 01 April 2011 – Software fully implemented and

working5. 25 April 2011 – Project completed and demonstrated

Recently Completed Tasks

1. Ordered Force Sensors2. Tested Microcontroller with LED’s and

code3. Measured dimensions of an alcohol rack

that our product will be replacing4. Built prototype board and experimented

with different inner molding materials5. Contacted creator of similar system for

advice on RFID reader code
