Passion fruit has a distinctive sweet and sour taste, which is quite popular in Indonesia, especially in South Sulawesi. Passion fruit is processed into syrup, and dodol is one of the typical souvenirs popular with tourists. Processing passion fruit syrup in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Industry still uses very simple equipment. Hence, the quality and quantity of the product produced are not optimal. Passion fruit cutting uses a knife with a low capacity for cutting and shrinkage results, so this research aims to design a passion fruit-filled shaver machine based on a…

The need for temperature and humidity monitoring in classrooms, is very important for the purpose of comfortable teaching and learning processes, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic conditions. At Politeknik Negeri Bandung (POLBAN), there are more than a hundred classrooms. The rooms are spread over several buildings; therefore, the process of monitoring temperature and humidity will be difficult if it is done using a cable (wireline). In this study, a temperature and humidity monitoring system for classrooms at POLBAN will be made using LoRa wireless architecture. In several classrooms,…

HDR brachytherapy uses Ir-192 wrapped in microcapsules (seeds). Ir-192 requires high precision during the preparation process to produce good-quality seeds. The technological innovation of four DoF robot arms using LabVIEW and Arduino MEGA is equipped with an endoscope camera monitoring system to maximize preparation and minimize radiation exposure. The endoscope camera helps identify and observe seeds picked up by the vacuum gripper. The system starts by taking the seeds on the conveyor and placing them at the chuck. The robotic arm

Due to its intermittent nature, significant adoption of solar PV into the grid can decrease grid reliability. One solution to increase it is to increase PV self-consumption with two methods: adding Energy Storage System (ESS) and conducting Demand Side Management (DSM). University building has a distinct characteristic in its complex dynamics. Therefore, there is a lack of research to control both methods of increasing self-consumption. This paper aimed to do an integrated literature review on increasing self-consumption and then propose a system architecture recommendation for university…

The development of firearms has been included as an introduction and use at the University of Defense. However, using firearms that are not used freely is a barrier for students to understand the ins and outs of firearms better. Therefore, in this research, firearms are replaced with interface simulation design. One firearm that needs to be designed for interface simulation is the G2 Combat pistol. The reason for using the G2 Combat pistol in making an interface simulation design is because the Indonesian armed forces have widely used it. The interface simulation design uses Pimp My Gun…

This study developed an integrated digital scale with a microcontroller and an Internet of Things feature that weighs the sheep and measures its temperature. It is composed of a scale frame, two alternative power supplies, namely a 12 V battery and 24 V PSU, a component box containing a temperature sensor, load cell module, Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi ESP8266, equipped with an LCD user interface, RFID reader and thermal gun. The sheep were assigned their respective RFID IDs to enable detection by the RFID reader. When sheep walked into the core frame of the scales,…
