The problem

Second-hand phones were graded manually, which was slow and subjective, and the grade directly sets the resale price.

What I designed
01

2-axis linear gantry

Designed and manufactured a gantry running at 200 mm/s with 100-micron accuracy for positioning the inspection head.

02

Testing enclosure

A compact box with strategically placed lighting and cameras, reaching 98% surface coverage for cosmetic defect scanning.

03

Audio test station

Integrated microphone and speaker testing to assess audio performance inside the same enclosure.

04

Condition-based pricing

Results feed a system that estimates the phone's value from its cosmetic condition and functional capabilities.

Outcome

An automated box covering 98% of the phone's surface for cosmetic scans, plus audio tests, reducing manual testing effort by 95%.
