In a new manifestation of how engineering innovation transforms daily details into smart solutions, Ar-Rasheed Smart University witnessed today, Monday, April 20, 2026, the discussion of a distinguished graduation project titled "Smart Color Mixing Machine." The project was presented by the first batch of Mechatronics Engineering students at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, under the gracious sponsorship the rector of the University, Prof. Abdullatif Haidar, and in the presence of the Dean of Development and Quality Assurance Center, Prof. Abdulhamid Ashuja'a.
The project introduces an advanced color-mixing system that utilizes five primary colors to produce any desired shade with high precision. By automatically generating color codes, the system eliminates human errors associated with manual mixing and ensures consistent quality in replicated results.
The student team—comprising Adham Al-Salwi, Ali Al-Musaibi, Mohammed Al-Madani, and Fares Al-Mansour—explained that the project addresses traditional challenges in the color-mixing field, most notably the difficulty of reproducing the exact same shade, the impact of human factors on results, material wastage, and high operational costs. The prototype was designed to combine accuracy, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness, with potential for scalability in both industrial and educational applications.
The system features a simplified user interface, minimized fluid contact, and seamless integration between mechanical, electronic, and software systems. These features make it highly suitable for the paint industry, interior design, and sectors requiring precise color grading.
The examination committee consisted of Prof. Abdulmalik Momin (Chair), Prof. Adel Rawae (Supervisor and Member), Assoc. Tariq Al-Hababi (Member), and Eng. Mohammed Al-Madwahi (Member).
The committee praised the project, affirming that it reflects an advanced engineering consciousness and demonstrates the students' ability to provide innovative practical solutions that can be effectively implemented in real-world industrial environments.
