PART – C (3*10 = 30 Marks)

16. A manufacturing company wants to monitor and improve the performance of its CNC Ap/CO3
machines. To track real-time parameters such as spindle speed, temperature,
vibration, and power consumption, sensors are connected to the machine. Predict the
objectives of the data acquisition system for acquiring the data from the sensor and
convert it into a usable information.
Any Two Questions
17. In a higher secondary class, the teacher is planning to automate the process of An/ CO3
generating report cards for students. Deduce the key steps involved in the data
processing for such an automated system. Consider the stages of data collection,
validation, calculation of grades, and final report generation. Additionally, discuss the
potential challenges that might arise during each step and how they can be addressed
to ensure accurate and efficient report card generation.
