Introduction:

• Project description: Give a brief overview of the project. Explain why you have chosen this project and the context in which it takes place (e.g. professional necessity, personal interest).
• Objective: Describe what problem the project is intended to solve or what goal it is intended to achieve (e.g. automating a process, increasing efficiency, saving time).

Technical requirements and prerequisites:

• Technical requirements: Briefly explain the hardware and software requirements. Which components or systems are required? Go into specific requirements, such as voltages, interfaces, programmes or control units.
• Specialist knowledge and basics: Describe what basic knowledge of automation technology, mechanical engineering, computer science or electrical engineering is required.

Project planning and realisation:

• Planning: Describe the steps required to complete the project. Make it clear how you have structured the project and which methods were used for planning (e.g. work packages, milestones).
• Implementation steps: Explain how the individual steps were implemented in practice. Diagrams, photos or flowcharts can be used here to illustrate the technical implementation.
• Technology used: Describe the technology and the components used. If software was programmed, provide an overview of the functionality and logic.

Tests and results:

• Test procedure: Describe how the functionality was checked (e.g. through simulations, test runs or measurements).
• Results: Explain the results achieved and compare them with the initial expectations or objectives. Describe whether the project has fulfilled the desired functions or whether adjustments were necessary.

Conclusion and reflection:

• Summary of results: Summarise the most important results and reflect on whether the project can be considered successful.
• Potential for improvement and outlook: Describe what could be improved and which next steps would be useful.
