Development and Fabrication of an Upgraded Automatic Whiteboard Cleaning Machine

Abstract

Over time, traditional blackboards have been gradually replaced by whiteboards in schools and other educational institutions due to the convenience of cleaning. With the increasing popularity of whiteboards with automatic cleaning systems worldwide, an efficient device is expected to completely replace conventional cleaning methods. This study presents the development of a low-cost and effective automatic whiteboard cleaning system using locally sourced materials. Various design factors were considered to surpass the capabilities of existing systems. Our testing and results demonstrate that our design can clean specific areas of the whiteboard, unlike other automatic whiteboard cleaners that clean the entire board at once. The cleaning time recorded was under 19 seconds, and our device leaves zero residue with just a few sweeps of the board. In conclusion, our whiteboard cleaning system is highly efficient and meets market standards with ease.
