Abstract

The profession of fishermen requires a reliable system to remove stagnant water from fishing boats, as manual drainage is time-consuming and inefficient. This study proposes an IoT-based automatic water drainage system without using an inverter or ultrasonic sensor, offering a cost-effective alternative. The system utilizes a water level sensor and a DC water pump, controlled via a smartphone application. The research model used is the Research and Development (R&D) model, through several stages, namely potential and problems, initial data needs, prototype creation, prototype validation, prototype revision, validation, implementation. Problems occur at the prototype stage, problems that must be revised include aspects of wiring, Power Suitability, Water Level Sensor Test, and the configuration of the relay used. The IOT-based automatic water drainage system can function based on the results of white-box testing including Hardware Implementation, Software Implementation, Implementation of Application Usage, and Automatic Drainage System Testing. This is indicated by the results of the Liquid Water Level Sensor Functionality test, DC Water Pump Functionality Test, Solar Panel and Battery Functionality Test, and IOT Functionality Test. IOT-based automatic water discharge systems on fishing boats are more efficient and cost-effective in the long run, although diesel engines offer more reliability under adverse weather conditions or in places with limited access to sunlight.
