Abstract

Natural fibers from pineapple leaves (Ananas comosus L.) are a potential renewable resource, but their characteristics are highly dependent on their geographical origin. This study aimed to characterize the physico-mechanical properties and morphology of pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) sourced from local farmers in Kediri, East Java. Characterization was conducted at an accredited testing institution using SNI standards, covering fineness, bundle tenacity, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observations. The results revealed that the fibers exhibited an average fineness of 33.7 dtex and a tenacity of 23.20 g/tex. Morphological analysis showed a course, multi-cellular, and dense fiber structure. Based on these findings, it is concluded that these PALF demonstrate greater potential for applications in technical textiles and as reinforcement in bio-composite materials rather than as a raw material for apparel yarn.

Abstract

The textile industry requires efficient, accurate, and real-time quality control systems to replace paper-based inspection methods prone to errors and delays. This study develops and evaluates an Internet of Things (IoT)-based fabric defect recording system integrating a rotary encoder for length measurement, Arduino Uno as the controller, ESP32 as the communication module, a keypad for operator input, and a web-based MySQL database. The system automatically measures fabric length, records defect types, and transmits data wirelessly for real-time monitoring and management. Validation was conducted by comparing the proposed system with manual measurement and industrial inspection machines. One-Way ANOVA results show no significant difference in measurement accuracy (p = 0.865 > 0.05), with a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.0074 m, indicating high precision. Efficiency testing using a paired sample t-test shows a 79.2% reduction in recording time, from 16.8 seconds to 3.5 seconds (using digital recording system), with a significant difference (p < 0.001). The system also demonstrates reliable performance with low latency (120–150 ms), high repeatability, and zero data loss through buffering during network disruptions. These results indicate that the system improves operational efficiency while maintaining accuracy comparable to conventional methods and supports real-time integrated data management for textile industry digital transformation.
