Abstract

This research presents the design, development, and implementation of a mini smart car prototype that operates using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system is built around the ESP8266 microcontroller (Amica version), which functions as the core processing unit responsible for handling Wi-Fi communication and data processing. The motion of the car is controlled by an L298 motor driver module that regulates the operation of DC motors. The entire system is powered by a 3.7-volt rechargeable battery, ensuring portability and energy efficiency. The study discusses in detail the hardware configuration, software programming, and integration of IoT-based control through a web or mobile interface. Functional testing of the prototype, named MINIOT, focuses on evaluating the responsiveness, stability, and reliability of remote control operations. The results are expected to show that the system can effectively receive and execute user commands while transmitting real-time telemetry data, such as motor status and connection indicators. This project demonstrates the feasibility of low-cost IoT-based automation for small-scale robotic applications.

Abstract

Maintenance and repair work in a building or structure is not only in low places, but also in high places which require assistive devices. The assistive device in question is scaffolding. The design of this scaffolding begins with a literature study followed by data collection in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Semarang State Polytechnic to obtain data on the need for height assistive devices which are used as a reference for making electric scaffolding. The purpose of this study is to design an electric scaffolding with a capacity of 300 kg and to perform the performance of the electric scaffolding made. After the design of the electric scaffolding, the dimensions of the equipment were obtained, namely 1000 mm x 1500 mm x 2000 mm and specifications that can lift goods with a maximum height of 5 m, a minimum height of 0.35 m, a maximum load of 300 kg and an AC 220 V electric hoist drive. Based on the results of the performance test, in this case the test data was taken from the weight of the load that the machine can lift based on the travel time when the machine moves up and down. The load weight of 300 kg with electric scaffolding was covered in 27.44 seconds when going up and 21.02 seconds when moving down.

Abstract

The Gas and Steam Power Plant (PLTGU) utilizes exhaust heat from gas turbines to produce steam, which is then used to drive steam turbines. One of the critical processes in this system is seawater desalination, which requires reliable measuring instruments to ensure the continuity and quality of the water supply. The Differential Pressure Flow Transmitter type Azbil JTD920S is used to measure fluid flow rates at four main points: Sea Water Flow (feed), Distillate Water Flow, Condensate Water Flow, and Sea Water to Ejector Condenser Flow. A decline in transmitter performance may occur due to environmental factors, corrosion, and high workload, making periodic preventive maintenance (PM) essential. This study aims to analyze the transmitter’s performance by comparing PM data with the manufacturer’s maximum specifications using literature studies, direct observation, and interviews. The calculation results show that the highest performance levels are found in the Distillate Water Flow (73.53%) and Sea Water to Ejector Condenser Flow (73.87%) lines, while the lowest is in the Condensate Water Flow (49.00%). These findings emphasize the importance of close monitoring of high-performance transmitters to prevent premature failure and maintain the efficiency of the desalination process.

Abstract

This research focuses on analyzing the performance of a vacuum pan automation sistem using solenoid valves at PT. Duta Sugar International as an effort to improve the efficiency and quality of refined sugar production. The vacuum pan is the main tool in the sugar crystallization process that functions to evaporate the sugar solution under low pressure. Problems faced in the manual sistem are temperature instability and high dependence on operators, which impact time inefficiency and decrease product quality. The purpose of this research is to design and analyze the implementation of an automatic control system based on a Distributed Control Sistem (DCS) with the integration of solenoid valve actuators to optimize temperature stability and cooking process efficiency. The research method was carried out using qualitative and quantitative approaches through direct observation, technical interviews with the automation team, and supporting literature studies. The results showed that the automatic system was able to maintain a stable cooking temperature in the range of 78°C–85°C, lower and more efficient than the manual system which fluctuates between 90°C–100°C. In addition, cooking time was reduced by 10–15 minutes per cycle, and the crystallization process became more uniform with more efficient energy consumption. The results showed that the implementation of DCS-based automatic control with solenoid valves significantly improved operational stability, productivity, and energy efficiency. Thus, this automation sistem proved to be an effective solution for optimizing vacuum pan performance in the modern sugar industry.

Abstract

This study evaluates the consistency of transmitter level performance through calibration data obtained from the Instrumentation Maintenance Unit of the Cilegon PLTGU. The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy, linearity, and stability of transmitter output against standard reference values. Qualitative methods were used, including direct observation, interviews, and literature studies to support the analysis of calibration procedures. Calibration data from the Masoneilan 12420-51 and Yokogawa EJA210E transmitters were analyzed using a comparative approach between normal and abnormal calibration results. Classification was based on the difference between the actual output and the 4–20 mA standard signal, with a tolerance limit of ±0.25% in accordance with ISA and IEC calibration standards. The results of the study show that the Level-3 Deaerator Storage Tank transmitter operates within the normal range, with excellent linearity and accuracy, while the Flash ST Tank Level transmitter shows minor deviations outside the tolerance limit, categorized as abnormal. These deviations suggest the potential for drift or zero shift influenced by environmental factors and aging. This study concludes that periodic calibration is necessary to maintain tranmitter performance reliability and ensure accurate signal transmission in the automatic control system at the Cilegon PLTGU facility.
