Abstract

Forest and land fires represent a recurring environmental challenge in Indonesia, especially during the prolonged dry season. These incidents result in significant consequences, including the destruction of ecosystems, threats to human health, and considerable economic disruption. To address this problem, the present research focuses on the development of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system designed to predict and monitor the risk of forest fires by implementing the Fuzzy Logic method. The prototype integrates several sensors, namely a DHT22 sensor for measuring temperature and humidity, an MQ-2 sensor for detecting gas and smoke concentrations, and a flame sensor for identifying the presence of fire. All sensors are connected to a NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller that serves as the core of data processing and wireless communication. The collected sensor data is evaluated using a Fuzzy Logic algorithm, which classifies the fire risk into three distinct levels: “Safe,” “Caution,” and “Hazardous.” Experimental testing demonstrates that the system responds effectively to fluctuations in temperature, humidity, smoke levels, and visible flame in real time, with alerts displayed through a web-based dashboard. The DHT22 sensor exhibits an average error rate between 4.8% and 5% for temperature readings and between 4.1% and 4.5% for humidity measurements. In addition, the flame sensor successfully detects fire sources at distances reaching 300 cm. The outcomes confirm that the system achieves a high degree of reliability and accuracy, thereby providing valuable support for early warning, strengthening preventive strategies, and assisting authorities in mitigating the severe impacts of forest and land fires.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to develop and evaluate an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Energy Management System (SEMS) to improve air-conditioning energy efficiency in mosque buildings. Design/methods/approach – The proposed system utilizes an infrared (IR) transmitter to replicate native air-conditioner remote signals, allowing implementation without modifying existing electrical installations. The system was implemented and tested at Taj-Al’ulum Mosque, Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis, under four operating modes: Default Manual, IoT Manual, Automatic, and Hybrid. Performance evaluation was conducted by comparing energy consumption across these modes and validating results through simulation and field testing. Findings – The results indicate that the Automatic mode achieved the highest energy savings, reducing energy consumption by 23.7% compared to the baseline, while also demonstrating the most stable operational performance. The Hybrid and IoT Manual modes also contributed to energy savings, although their effectiveness was influenced by user intervention and variations in mosque activities. Model validation showed strong agreement between simulation and real-world implementation, confirming system reliability. Research implications/limitations – This study is limited to a single case study location and focuses primarily on air-conditioning systems. Future research could expand to multiple buildings, integrate additional energy loads such as lighting and audio systems, and explore long-term performance under varying environmental and occupancy conditions. Originality/value – This study offers a practical, non-invasive, and replicable IoT-based energy management solution for mosque buildings, contributing to the development of smart energy management systems for smart mosques, particularly in environments with intermittent occupancy patterns.

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a 58-volt LiFePO₄ battery voltage management system for electric vehicles, featuring remote monitoring and control via the Blynk application. The system continuously monitors battery voltage levels and enables control through a Solid-State Relay (SSR) connected to a NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller. Through the Blynk interface, users can view real-time voltage readings along with the corresponding battery capacity percentage. The NodeMCU ESP8266 demonstrated reliable performance throughout all test phases, maintaining a stable internet connection. The average voltage measurement deviation displayed on the Blynk application was approximately 0.74%. The SSR is configured to disconnect the vehicle’s power supply when the battery voltage reaches around 46.3 volts or when the battery percentage decreases to 0.16%. This disconnection can be triggered manually through the Blynk application or automatically by the SSR. The disconnection process can be carried out through the Blynk application or automatically via the Solid State Relay (SSR). Remote disconnection via the Blynk application serves as an additional safety measure activated when suspicious conditions or activities are detected. This mechanism safeguards the battery from excessive discharge, promoting better performance and extending its service life by cutting off the load at critical limits.

Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to develop an IoT–Decision Support System (DSS)-based Smart Fleet Management System (SFMS) to improve the operational efficiency of small- to medium-scale fishing vessels through real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making. Design/methods/approach – The proposed system integrates IoT sensors (GPS, fuel flow, temperature) with an ESP32 microcontroller for real-time data acquisition and transmission via MQTT to a cloud platform. A hybrid DSS combining linear regression and fuzzy logic is developed to analyze vessel performance and generate operational recommendations. Field validation was conducted on three fishing vessels, with 1,200 telemetry samples for regression modeling, 300 decision samples for DSS evaluation, and 4,320 data packets for communication analysis. Findings - The implementation of SFMS resulted in significant improvements in operational performance. Fuel consumption decreased by 20.0% (from 50.7 L/h to 40.6 L/h), idle operational time was reduced by 28.9% (from 3.8 to 2.7 hours/day), and the Operational Efficiency Index (OEI) improved by 22.7% (from 0.110 to 0.135 kn/L). The DSS achieved an accuracy of 92.7% in decision recommendations, while system reliability reached 99.2% uptime with low latency and acceptable packet loss (1.48%). Research implications/limitations – Although effective, the study is limited by a small number of vessels and the lack of synchronized environmental data, suggesting the need for broader validation. Originality/value – This study presents a cost-effective and scalable IoT–DSS framework tailored for small-scale fisheries, supporting sustainable operations and maritime digital transformation.
