Executive Summary: This study is entitled "Analysis of Guided System Manipulation for Forklift Model Using VJC PowerOn Program for Mechanical Engineering Elective Subject" provides an output of a prototype forklift device including its parts such as motor sensor. This study aims to design Automation Guided System Manipulation using VJC-POWERON program and Stem kit that can control and manipulate the forklift model of the stem kit unit to transfer object on one point to another. To assemble the Stem kit Guided System for manipulation that based from the design that will be made using local material. To test the functionality of the design Automation Guided System manipulation based on the VJC-PowerOn Program through the performance of the forklift model to pick and place an object and its accuracy. To supplement a useful laboratory activity for the university of Rizal System-Morong, Rizal's Mechanical Engineering student, helping them to enhance their knowledge and theory learned from their classrooms, magazines in terms of Robotic; Sensors, Automation etc. to test the system design using the Mechanical Engineering students as the respondents in terms of functionality and usefulness. To analyze the forklift model which will beneficial not only for the country and the institution but specially for the faculty and the students of College of Engineering for the future experiments and activities and provide them a better knowledge about robotics. This is why this study provides users manual for the system. The researchers used developmental method for this research. This study conducted a various series of run to analyze the performance of the Automated Guided Manipulation System. After the series of run based on actual test, the result was evaluated, interpreted and the overall performance of Automated Guided System Guided Manipulation was mere accurate although there is a minimal error that was found after the summary of the results. Here is the summary if the results gathered based on the actual test and due to the respondents: 1. Based on the computed standard deviation upon overall movement and function of the forklift stated on the table 3.6 having the value of 95.85% the forklift is accurate upon its functions. 2. In terms of functionality, the respondents gave an average weighted mean value of the 4.45 this was not the highest but still included and categorized as a highly acceptable in the terms of the variable interpretation, which means the developed system is functioning according to its function. 3. The mechanical engineering students observed that usefulness and its being a user friendly (a device that may help them to learn) achieves the highest weighted mean average which ranges to 4.7 and 4.63 which means that the developed system can help them in their experimentation in terms of elective project. As a conclusion, the data shows that the algorithm is functioning and forklift model is functioning accurately as a whole for both online and offline system and the study is able to meet its objectives. The researchers recommend that formulate a new algorithm to acquire better result, and make more challenging track for the device, and redesigning of forklift to produce an accurate and consistent lift for the system. The future researchers can still modify or formulate the algorithm using VJC-Poweron program to produce better result. To increase the efficiency of the forklift model we recommend to the future researchers to provide a larger track that will give a smooth curve for the forklift model to move along the line-curve that will serve as the path of the automated forklift. Redesign the forklift model, to produce an accurate and consistent lift of the forklift.
