    DOI: 10.1063/5.0176606

    Abstract :

    The management of water resources, especially lake or reservoir ecosystems, must be considered. What is currently happening is that the measurement of water quality in aquaculture is usually measured only on the surface of the water, because it will not always be above the water surface, so it is necessary to design a sensor system that can measure air conditions at various certain depths. System design sensors for physical and chemical air quality at multiple depths, where the sensors used are temperature sensors and pH sensors. To measure the depth of this system utilizes a pulley system which is inserted a rotary encoder. Where from the length of the rope being pulled/stretched it can be determined how many meters the depth is measured. In addition, the data obtained will be sent via the RS-485 protocol and saved to the Data Logger and this system is also equipped with a measurement location. All information will be accessible using an Android Smartphone using a local server via Bluetooth in the application that has been provided. The test results of the device consisting of a temperature sensor have an error of 1%, a pH sensor of 3.1%, and depth measurements using a rotary encoder have an error of 0.77%. Direct testing was carried out at 3 different locations and it was found that the difference in air depth affects the temperature and pH of the air where the deeper the air, the lower the temperature. Changes in the pH value to the depth of the air also have an effect because when you get a lot of heat intensity from sunlight, the surface temperature will increase, so the solubility of carbon dioxide will decrease so that the pH will also increase and the air is alkaline.

    DOI: 10.1109/INCITEST64888.2024.11121424

    Abstract

    The lack of water causes the growth of plants to become stunted. Despite that, system of harvesting water supply for watering plant uses conventional methods that require manpower to control and monitor the process of pumping water. As a result, the automatic Harvesting Water in Storage Tank system can fix the problem. To address the problem of difficulty ensuring adequate water supply for watering plant, IoT and solar energy were developed. The ESP32 built with a Wi-Fi module utilized as a controller system to communicate with the system. The scope of the study was decided before the design was created to ensure that the prototypes produced could meet the objectives set. The goal of this project is to ensure that this water harvesting system can be controlled using wireless technology. The Blynk app is used on a smartphone to control the pump for harvesting water and monitor level of water in the storage tank. Users merely need to open the system in their smartphone to monitor the percentage of water capacity detected by the ultrasonic sensor. These conditions are indicated with three LED for each condition which red (low), yellow (medium) and green (full). The project also uses solar energy, which will save the farmers money and eliminate the use of petrol to produce power for pumping water supply. Therefore, it can be concluded that the study successfully developed a system that addresses the problem of making agricultural work easier. Β© 2024 IEEE.

  • The 2026 New Student Admissions of UNIKOM Officially Open, Targeting 3,500 Students with a Digital and Inclusive System

    The 2026 New Student Admissions of UNIKOM Officially Open, Targeting 3,500 Students with a Digital and Inclusive System

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) has officially opened its Penerimaan Mahasiswa Baru (PMB), New Student Admissions, for the 2026 Academic Year with various strategic breakthroughs that affirm its position as a leading technology-based university. Unlike previous years, 2026 PMB has now opened earlier, starting on December 1, 2025, to accelerate services and improve the quality of the student selection process. 

    In an interview, Director of PMB of UNIKOM, Yudistira Soegoto, S.Kom., M.Kom., stated that UNIKOM is in an optimal state of readiness. The entire PMB process is supported by an integrated digital system that operates online, openly, fairly, and accountably. β€œFor 2026, we are targeting to gain 3,000 to 3,500 new students. In terms of systems and services, UNIKOM is 100% ready, and PMB is already ongoing,” he said. 

    The earlier opening of PMB is a significant difference compared to previous years, which generally began in January or February. In addition to accelerating the timing, UNIKOM has also expanded access by providing various scholarships aimed at attracting potential students from diverse backgrounds. 

    Not only targeting new graduates in 2026, UNIKOM PMB is also open to graduates from previous years, including professionals who have worked but have not completed their undergraduate education, as well as bachelor’s degree graduates who wish to continue to master’s and doctoral levels. This approach reflects UNIKOM’s commitment to embracing all segments of society without age restrictions or graduation year gaps. 

    In terms of service innovation, UNIKOM continues to improve its registration system to make it more accessible and user-friendly, including for prospective students with disabilities. The PMB system is equipped with clear usage guidelines and support features for applicants with special needs. 

    The entire Ujian Saringan Masuk (USM), or Entrance Exam, process is conducted online, from registration and testing to the announcement of results. This flexibility allows prospective UNIKOM students from various regions, especially in West Java, throughout Indonesia, and even abroad, to participate in the selection process without having to come directly to the campus. 

    As a campus that has achieved excellent accreditation, UNIKOM continues to strengthen its academic competitiveness through a technology-based curriculum. One of UNIKOM’s main strengths is the implementation of compulsory cross-study program courses, including software, hardware, entrepreneurship, animation, and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) courses that are being prepared for implementation at all levels of education at UNIKOM, from Diploma (D3) to Doctoral (S3) programs. 

    Yudistira also stated, β€œWe see AI as an unavoidable future necessity. Therefore, UNIKOM is preparing students to face global challenges through mastery of cutting-edge technology.” 

    Through the 2026 PMB, UNIKOM hopes to attract the best students who are not only academically excellent but also capable of bringing honor to their alma mater at the national and international levels. All PMB strategies are designed inclusively as part of UNIKOM’s long-term vision to strengthen its position as a pioneer in ICT-based higher education in Indonesia. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
