dc.description.abstract	Maamoul is one of the cultures that comes with Eid traditions in our Arab countries. its integral part of our hospitality. there is a special ritual that the maamoul goes in to look in a delicious and interesting look. it talks a lot of work, effort and time to produce it in that precious quality. Our project reflects a production line with cultural importance and social aspect. The importance of this production line is increasing the quality and the ability to meet the increasing demands on the maamoul in a good quality and a speed higher than the traditional way due to the automation and the organization of production stages. The machine aims to simplify the entire production process starting from stuffing the dough with dates then passing it to the shaping stage and then sending it to the baking stage. We decided to design the machine using Arduino and connect it to a set of sensors that will manage the different operations of the machine to ensure consistency in shape and quality, including the complex filling method that includes air pistons that allow the dough and filling to be pressed and then cut to extract the appropriate shape for the dough piece to move on the belt that is helped by an electric motor. To reach the stage of choosing the engraving shape, which includes molds of different shapes, where the piece will be sensed in the right place, then the mold will be lowered to the right level and pressed to take the shape of the mold, then the mold will be lifted. This stage will include dealing with several presses, motors and sensors. Then control the stage and time of baking the maamoul, as a baking system will be created that uses horizontal movement for a specific period of time back and forth to ensure that the product is cooked. Motors and sensors will be included in this stage, and materials that comply with health standards will be used in all stages of production, such as using stainless steel in the dough storage stage, to ensure that the materials do not react with time and maintain the quality and safety of the product, we will also develop an easy-to-use user interface that allows the user to control the machin. We looked into the local sweet shops available in Palestine, especially in the Nablus and Tulkarm areas, to see similar machines used in making maamoul and understand how they work. However, we found some stages lacking. For example, there were machines that only cut the dough, while the pressing process was done manually, and there was no automated roasting process.
