Abstract

The use of low-cost sensors controlled by open-source microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32) is investigated in this study not only to measure electrical, thermal, and magnetic values ​​but also to investigate intrinsic material properties such as thermal conductivity and magnetic strength. Four sensors are used in this study such as SS49E, MAX6675, ACS712, and HMC5883L. Their performance is evaluated in monitoring a carbon rod subjected to 29.9 V DC current and the measurement results are displayed on a 20x4 I2C LCD and stored in CSV format on an SD Card. The MAX6675 thermocouple sensor shows the most stable and reliable results for surface temperature measurement, which is supported by reference multimeter readings. However, the use of multiple sensors simultaneously reveals interference issues, indicating the need for electrical isolation or signal multiplexing in future designs. This study contributes to the advancement of affordable open-source instrumentation as a viable alternative to commercial measurement tools, emphasizing the shift from raw signal acquisition to meaningful property computation.

Abstract

This paper compares the electrical conductivity of LLDPE-carbon composite materials, LLDPE-carbon-aluminum composites, and LLDPE-carbon-copper composites. Doping with aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) metal powders influences electrical conductivity in carbon-based polymer composite materials. Adding metal powders as secondary fillers to a mixture of conductive carbon powders and LLDPE can decrease electrical conductivity. This is due to the agglomeration or clustering of metal powders within the polymer matrix, which disrupts conductive pathways and diminishes the efficiency of electrical charge transfer. The impact of filler type and quantity on electrical conductivity in composite materials was examined, and the findings revealed that factors such as the filler's amount, shape, and dispersal significantly affect the composite's electrical resistance properties. Increasing the amount of metal powder filler raises the composite's viscosity, reducing adhesion between the metal and polymer fillers while promoting metal-to-metal contacts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the working posture of operators involved in feeding coconut shells into a processing machine, using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method. The assessment yielded a total REBA score of 9, which indicates a high level of ergonomic risk requiring immediate corrective action. This elevated score is attributed to repetitive movements during the material handling process. To mitigate the risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), a specially designed portable screw conveyor is proposed as an assistive tool. The proposed conveyor is expected to significantly reduce physical strain and improve the overall ergonomics of the task. Visual illustrations of the design and technical drawing are provided to support the implementation concept. This study highlights the importance of ergonomic interventions in industrial settings to promote worker health and operational efficiency.

Abstract

Manual lifting of fertilizer bags in plantation operations often leads to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among workers due to repetitive, high-load, and ergonomically poor movements. This study aims to design an ergonomic fertilizer lifting crane integrated into the Canycom S25A Fertilizer Spreader with a 650-liter hopper to reduce physical strain and improve operational efficiency. A hydraulic crane system was designed with dual-segment arms, four lifting hooks, and two hydraulic cylinders, actuated via the unit’s PTO engine. Ergonomic evaluation was performed using the REBA assessment tools. The simulation results indicated that the maximum stress on critical components was within safe limits, with a factor of safety above 1.5. Postural analysis showed a significant improvement, where REBA scores decreased from 12 to 2 after the crane was introduced. The design offers a reliable, low-cost, and easily manufactured solution that enhances worker safety, reduces ergonomic risk, and increases productivity in fertilizer loading processes, especially in rugged field environments. The crane can be adopted in various agricultural applications where safe material handling is essential.
