    Authors: M. Yani Syafei, Agus Riyanto, Gabriel Sianturi, Hasna Nafisa

    Abstract

    PT. SMC is a filter trading company that involves business processes such as inventory, packing, and delivery. Manual material handling activities in the packing process are considered non-ergonomic and can lead to musculoskeletal disorders. One of the packing process activities is plastic wrapping on crates, in which workers carry 12 kg of plastic rolls around a 120×120×150 cm crate, starting from a bending position and lifting the plastic roll to a standing position. The goal of this study was to analyze and improve the wrapping process in terms of ergonomics and productivity. To assess the condition of activities, the Nordic Body Map and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) methods were used. In addition, a plastic wrapping tool is designed to help the worker in packing activities, and the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method was used to develop the design process. According to the results of the nordic body map data, many workers have a complaint of pain in the waist and right hand. Using the REBA assessment for the existing condition was obtained the risk level of the lower position was very high, the risk level of the middle position and the upper position were high, while the output of the wrapping processes was 19 pallets per day. Three tool designs were developed, and the plastic wrapping trolley was selected as the best design. After using tools, the research shows that the plastic wrapping procedure in. PT. SMC is classified as non-ergonomic, causing a high risk of harm to the waist and right hand. By using the quality function deployment approach, a wrapping trolley is chosen to be manufactured, and the end REBA value is 3, indicating a low risk level. Another benefit shows that, there was an increase in manufacturing output specifically from 19 pallets/day to 37 pallets/day. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

  • Design of Web-Based Land Deed Registry with a Geographical Information System

    Design of Web-Based Land Deed Registry with a Geographical Information System

    Authors: Agis Abhi Rafdhi, Umi Narimawati, Nizar Rabbi Radliya, Lia Warlina

    Abstract

    The needs of the community in completing the administration, especially in the field of land and buildings are quite high. Especially in the land sector, which is never empty of buying and selling transactions. In the process, the community needs to take care of the administration from the village level to the sub-district level to get their land titles. At the sub-district level, which of course covers the area of several villages, it certainly requires a fast process to avoid queues and also tidy up the data as archives if one day it is needed. Cibiru District, which is located in the eastern part of Bandung City, includes 4 (four) urban villages, namely Pasirbiru Village, Cipadung Village, Palasari Village, and Cisurupan Village. With the coverage of the four sub-districts, of course, if there is a land administration process, it requires a system that can properly handle the interaction between sub-district officers and the community. The purpose of this study is to design a Land Deed Submission Information System with the intention of providing two-way services between the communities as users so that they can directly access and participate in the stages. The method used in this study uses qualitative methods by using interview and observation data collection techniques to the object of research, namely the Cibiru District Office. The system development method used is object-oriented with a prototype as a software development method. The results show that with the design of this information system, the problems that have been described previously can be resolved, so that the community can easily monitor the progress of the land deed. The process in the system includes an application for a Sale and Purchase Deed (AJB), site review, and AJB collection. All processes that are usually carried out by visiting the sub-district directly can be facilitated by the existence of this information system which can be accessed via the website by the user and can directly input data and file requirements. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

  • Odour Pollution Control Using Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller

    Odour Pollution Control Using Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller

    Authors: Muhammad Aria Rajasa Pohan, Dhiyaa Rifqi Taufiqurrahman, Fernando Sitanggang, Vania Retha Luthfia Fitriani

    Abstract

    This investigation aims to develop an odour reduction system simulation using a Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller (T2FLS). T2FLC is a further development of the classic fuzzy logic (Type-1 Fuzzy Logic Controller or T1FLC). Where the membership function of T2FLC is also fuzzy. A test by several references indicates that the performance of T2FLC is better than the T1FLC. The proposed T2FLC is tested and compared to the PID controller and T1FLC. The test is based on simulation using MATLAB and Simulink®. Three attempts are carried out to compare the performance of the three controllers using three different gain (C), time delay (L), and time constant (T) values. This shows that type-2 fuzzy is the most reliable method for magnifying C, L, and T values with rise time = 1.368 seconds, maximum overshoot = 60%, and settling time = 8.989 seconds. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

    Authors: Mulyawati I. B, Riza M, Dermawan H, Pratiwi V

    DOI: 10.5829/ije.2023.36.04a.18

    Abstract

    In Indonesia, the construction of the road has challenges because the road was built on soft clay soil. The vacuum preloading method was used to improve the shear strength and compressibility properties of soft soil in this project. Moreover, what needs to be a concern for practitioners is the issue of increasing simulation accuracy in predicting soil settlement in a vacuum preloading system. The research objective of this study was to determine changes in soil settlement behavior that occurred from the vacuum preloading system using a numerical simulations Geostudio with the 2D Multi Drain-Plane Strain approach and the settlement result of the simulation will be compare with instrumentation data. In this study the vacuum pressure distribution is modeled using water total head negative pore water pressure and the pressure value used following vacuum gauge data in the field with distribution approach is 100% at the surface of the sand platform, 85% to a depth of 5 m, then 60% to the end of the PVD. Based on the simulations, the conlusion is the vacuum pressure applied along the vertical drainage is not modeled constant, but changes with depth, the value of 60% at the bottom of the vertical drainage is quite representative of the conditions in the field and the settlement from the simulation is quite good at approaching the field observation with a prediction of the settlement due to vacuum preloading of 0.93 m, when compared to the field observation data there is a difference of about 1.6%. © 2023 Materials and Energy Research Center.

  • Smart Urban Farming Application: UV Light in Hydroponic Installations

    Smart Urban Farming Application: UV Light in Hydroponic Installations

    Authors: Herry Saputra, Irfan Dwiguna Sumitra, Dedeng Hirawan, Rudhi Lesmana, Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto

    Abstract

    Hydroponic farming is an innovative method of cultivating plants without soil media. It has become a popular solution to address limited agricultural land, especially in urban areas. Indoor hydroponics is a type of hydroponic farming that involves growing plants in a room that lacks natural sunlight. Instead, Ultraviolet (UV) lights are used to ensure that the plants receive sufficient light. The goal of this research is to investigate how UV radiation affects plants in hydroponic growth systems when they are grown in a room with little sunlight. The study used quantitative methods with data collection techniques based on observation. The hydroponic plants were exposed to UV radiation during their growing period, and their growth was closely monitored. The findings of this study indicate that when plants are grown in a closed room exposed to UV light, they exhibit optimal growth due to proper light intake and nutrient maintenance. A consistent irrigation system and UV lighting have a positive impact on the shape and quality of the plants’ roots and leaves, making them healthier and stronger. This is because plants’ UV light requirements can still be met even when they are kept indoors. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

  • Implementation of Convolutional Neural Network for Sundanese Script Handwriting Recognition with Data Augmentation

    Implementation of Convolutional Neural Network for Sundanese Script Handwriting Recognition with Data Augmentation

    Authors: Irfan Maliki, Ade Syahlan Prayoga

    Abstract

    Sundanese script is one of the cultural heritages that need to be preserved. However, Sundanese script has complexity and uniqueness in its writing, making it difficult to recognize. The recognition can be done automatically using deep learning. One of the problems is that the recognition has a small amount of data and is less varied. In this study, the proposed solution is to use data augmentation. This study focused on how the use of data augmentation can help to improve accuracy in performing the recognition of handwriting image pattern using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method. Data augmentation is the process of artificially increasing the amount of data by generating new data points from existing data. The augmentation includes adding small changes to the data or using machine learning models to generate new data points in the latent space of the original data in order to strengthen the data set. Data augmentation applied in this research is flipping, rotation, and translation techniques. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the use of data augmentation to increase the number and variety of data samples has a significant effect on the accuracy value of 0.1707 or about 17.07%. The best accuracy obtained is 0.8 or 80% using a baseline model with data augmentation. These findings yielded good results because the system is able to perform image classification quite well. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
