Alat Pengisian Tanah dan Pupuk untuk Polybag Berbasis Arduino

Abstract

Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) are independent small scale economic actors that need to be supported so they are able to compete in the world market. The subject of this final project is UMKM KaryaBakti which is engaged in fertilizer and soil processing. However, the tools used by MSMEs are still using manual methods, so that they need to be supported so that they can survive and compete to meet market needs. To support the UMKM Karya Bakti in the productivity of fertilizer and soil processing, fertilizer and soil filling tools were realized for Arduino-based polybags. The tool is expected to be able to increase the productivity of fertilizer and soil processing easily and quickly. With an automated system the operator only needs to input the desired data. Then the microcontroller will process the data and send it to the actuator to mix fertilizer and soil and fill it in a polybag. The tool will work automatically according to the data inputted by the operator. The results and conclusions of the tool testing are the time needed to wash the fertilizer and soil is 5 minutes and the time needed to fill the polybag size is 20cm × 25cm on average for 12.6 seconds
