Abstract

Perkebunan kelapa rakyat merupakan komoditas unggulan Desa Manyampa, mencakup 40% dari total wilayah desa dengan produksi ±40.000 butir kelapa per bulan. Sebagian besar diolah menjadi gula merah (coconut sugar) oleh petani lokal dengan produksi harian rata-rata 15–25 kg per petani. Namun, proses produksi masih bersifat tradisional, belum memenuhi standar pangan yang higienis, serta penggunaan alat dan area produksi kurang memadai. Selain itu, pengemasan belum optimal dan sebagian petani masih menggunakan bahan kimia berbahaya dalam proses produksi. Kondisi ini menyebabkan rendahnya nilai jual produk di pasaran. Berdasarkan analisis situasi tersebut, tim PKM bersama mitra menetapkan empat prioritas utama: (1) Penataan area produksi yang bersih dan higienis sesuai standar mutu pangan, (2) Perancangan alat produksi yang ergonomis dan mendukung efisiensi pengemasan, (3) Desain kemasan yang menarik untuk meningkatkan daya saing produk, dan (4) Penguatan manajemen pemasaran melalui pemanfaatan media sosial dan teknologi digital. Program ini bertujuan memberdayakan kelompok tani produsen gula merah agar lebih mandiri secara ekonomi, serta meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir dan berinovasi. Luaran yang diharapkan meliputi: inovasi cetakan gula modern, kemasan yang lebih menarik, peningkatan keterampilan produksi, media promosi berbasis digital, perluasan jangkauan pasar, dan peningkatan omset penjualan.

Abstract

Appropriate Technology (AT) is widely applied in the agricultural sector to improve post-harvest productivity, including the use of corn shellers. However, many existing corn shellers have not fully considered usability and ergonomic aspects, which may lead to inefficiency, errors, and increased cognitive and physical workload for users. This study aims to evaluate the usability of a corn sheller and identify physiological parameters that indicate usability levels. An experimental method was employed involving two groups of participants, namely novice users and experienced users. Usability evaluation was conducted using the System Usability Scale (SUS), user performance indicators (task completion rate, task completion time, and error rate), and physiological measurements in the form of body temperature changes before and after task execution. The results showed that experienced users achieved a higher average SUS score (88.50, excellent usability) compared to novice users (58.50, marginal usability). Experienced users completed tasks faster, achieved a 100% task completion rate, and made fewer errors. Novice users required longer completion times, showed higher error rates, and experienced greater increases in body temperature. The findings indicate that usability is strongly influenced by user experience and cognitive factors. Body temperature changes can be used as an objective physiological indicator of usability and workload. Improvements in system learnability and user guidance are recommended to enhance usability for novice users.
