Abstract

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a protective measure aimed at ensuring workers remain safe and healthy while performing their duties in the workplace. OHS planning aims to create a comprehensive occupational safety and health management system within the workers' scope. The telecommunications industry is one of the sectors that implements OHS principles. Workers in the telecommunications industry face higher occupational accident risks due to direct interaction with heavy objects, sharp materials, electricity, and working at heights. This research aims to design a smart helmet prototype integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor safety for telecommunications industry workers. The system to be developed consists of a PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) helmet equipped with an IoT system. The PPE helmet is integrated with an ESP32 microcontroller, LDR sensor, gyroscope sensor, and GPS module, utilizing wireless transmission media connected to an IoT Cloud server that links the microcontroller system with users. The designed system can monitor whether workers are wearing helmets properly, and monitoring results are transmitted in real-time via Telegram, enabling early warnings if potential hazards threaten workers. The research will be tested at PT. Mitra Globalindo Nusantara, a company engaged in fiber optic telecommunications construction. From the discussion results, it was found that the IoT-based safety monitoring system for telecommunications industry workers using LDR sensors, gyroscope sensors, GPS modules, and Telegram monitoring was successfully designed and implemented as a well-functioning prototype. The Telegram application successfully sends notifications regarding the worker's safety condition, including alerts when the helmet is not worn, tilted, or has fallen. The response time for sending and receiving notifications via Telegram was recorded between 1.5 to 2.2 seconds, which is considered acceptable for real-time monitoring systems.

Abstract

A device will be designed as a DC motor rotation speed controller using a hall sensor based on Esp 32. Broadly speaking, this device consists of a DC motor, hall sensor, microcontroller and driver. The purpose of this design is to control the speed of the DC motor by pulse width regulation (PWM) method. The way this tool works is that the microcontroller is programmed to compare the motor rotation speed detected by the hall sensor to the input motor rotation speed and the display data will be displayed in real time via Android or PC. Thus the rotation speed of the DC motor can be controlled as expected. For this reason, this rotation speed control tool can be used for certain purposes, for example in the control process in the industrial world.

Abstract

In daily life, plastic waste feels very close to us as humans. This type of waste is very difficult to decompose,which significantly disrupts both life on land and in the ocean. In this study, the use of heated plastic waste as an additive incement mixtures for making paving blocks is still rarely explored. The aim of this research is to examine the impact of usingplastic waste as an additive in cement mixtures. Additionally, the use of plastic waste as an additive in cement is based on theidea that plastic waste can be transformed into something useful to reduce the troubling amount of plastic waste. For this purpose,this study employs both the Literature Review Method and the Experimental Method to determine how the addition of plasticwaste in paving block mixtures affects the compressive strength of the paving blocks. In this study, plastic waste will be used asan additive to cement with the following compositions: 0% (ordinary concrete), 2.5%, 5%, and 7% of the cement weight. Theresults showed that paving blocks with a 2.5% plastic mixture achieved the highest compressive strength of 26.2 MPa at 21 days,while the highest water absorption was observed in the 5% plastic mixture, with a value of approximately 6.14%. Overall, thetotal strength exceeded the planned compressive strength of 20 MPa based on the SNI 03-0691-1996 standard, making it suitablefor road use with a B quality grade.

Abstract

Overheating can significantly reduce the efficiency and power output of solar panels, leading to the development of various cooling techniques. This paper compares four cooling methods: heatsink with fan, fin heatsink, water cooling, and floating solar panels. The study evaluates these methods based on temperature reduction, cooling efficiency, electrical performance, and practical considerations. Active systems, like water cooling and heatsink with fan, showed higher performance improvements but required more resources and were more complex to operate. On the other hand, passive systems such as fin heatsink, and floating panels offered simpler and more sustainable solutions with moderate efficiency gains. This review highlights the balance between efficiency, sustainability, and practicality, providing valuable insights for choosing the best cooling method for solar panels. The findings also point to future opportunities for advancements through hybrid systems and new materials to enhance performance and sustainability in solar energy systems.

Abstract

Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) have garnered significant attention due to their cost-effectiveness and potential for sustainable energy applications. TiO2 and ZnO nanostructures are widely employed as photoanodes, given their unique optical and electronic properties. This paper compares the findings of ten studies with similar research scopes, highlighting enhancements in DSSC efficiency using modified TiO2 and ZnO. Results are presented through comparative analysis and graphical representations, focusing on energy conversion efficiency. Through a detailed comparative analysis, this research identifies key trends and material innovations for advancing DSSC technology. Currently from these studies TiO2 with synthesis dye still hold the highest efficiency compared to ZnO and Synthesis TiO2/ZnO nanocomposite whether using synthesis and natural dye and by using counter electrode of Mg and Fe in TiO2 based have the least efficiency. DSSCs efficiency still lower than silicon based and thin-film solar cells but have the potential to be the cheapest solar cells. DSSCs need to improve efficiency to be able to go to marketplace and it needs further research and combination of dye and counter electrode or even the new breakthrough.

Abstract

Desa Bungin, located in the Paringin Selatan District of Balangan Regency, has begun adopting information technology to enhance administrative activities. However, administrative management at the Desa Bungin Office still faces several challenges, including manual record-keeping, reliance on hard-copy archives, and dependence on a centralized system without an integrated information system. These limitations result in inefficiencies in time management, an increased risk of errors, and obstacles to providing optimal administrative services to the community. To address these issues, this study proposes an enterprise architecture framework to align business functions with information technology needs. The TOGAF ADM approach is employed as a structured methodology for developing an integrated architectural blueprint. This study focuses on three key phases of TOGAF ADM: the Preliminary Phase, Architecture Vision, and Business Architecture, with a strong emphasis on Business Architecture design. Business Architecture plays a crucial role in structuring and analyzing business processes, identifying key actors, and understanding interactions within the organization. This research examines essential elements such as workflows, resources, and inter-process relationships. The findings present a well-structured Business Architecture model that serves as the foundation for developing a comprehensive Enterprise Architecture. This framework is expected to enhance efficiency, streamline administrative processes, and support the digital transformation of Desa Bungin’s governance.
