Perancangan Sistem Monitoring Suhu dan Kualitas Daging secara Real-Time Berbasis Internet of Things selama Distribusi di PT XYZ

Abstract

Agroindustri memiliki peran penting dalam mengolah hasil produk pertanian, termasuk daging sapi yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi namun mudah rusak. Untuk menjaga kualitas daging sapi selama distribusi, PT XYZ menghadapi tantangan dalam pengawasan suhu dan kualitas produk. Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang sistem monitoring suhu dan kualitas daging secara real-time menggunakan teknologi Internet of Things (IoT) untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Metode penelitian mencakup eksplorasi masalah, pendefinisian masalah, ideasi solusi, pengembangan prototipe, serta uji dan validasi sistem. Pada tahap eksplorasi, ditemukan bahwa fluktuasi suhu selama distribusi menyebabkan kerusakan produk. Oleh karena itu, solusi yang diusulkan adalah implementasi IoT untuk pemantauan suhu dan kualitas secara real-time. Prototipe yang dirancang terdiri dari perangkat keras seperti mikrokontroler, sensor suhu, dan modul Wi-Fi, serta perangkat lunak berbasis web untuk menampilkan data. Pengujian perangkat keras menunjukkan bahwa sensor memiliki tingkat kesalahan yang dapat diterima, sementara perangkat lunak berhasil menampilkan data suhu dan kualitas (TVB) serta grafik selama distribusi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem monitoring suhu dan kualitas daging berbasis IoT dapat meningkatkan efektivitas dan efisiensi rantai pasok dingin di PT XYZ. Sistem ini mampu mengurangi kerusakan produk dengan pemantauan real-time, meningkatkan kepuasan pelanggan dan daya saing perusahaan.

The agro-industrial sector plays an important role in processing agricultural products, including beef, which has high economic value but is highly perishable. To maintain beef quality during distribution, PT XYZ faces challenges in monitoring temperature and product quality. This study aims to design a real-time temperature and quality monitoring system for beef using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to address these challenges. The research methodology includes problem exploration, problem definition, solution ideation, prototype development, and system testing and validation. During the exploration phase, it was found that temperature fluctuations during distribution cause product damage. Therefore, the proposed solution is the implementation of IoT for real-time temperature and quality monitoring. The designed prototype consists of hardware such as a microcontroller, temperature sensor, and Wi-Fi module, as well as web-based software to display the data. Hardware testing showed that the sensors have an acceptable error rate, while the software successfully displayed temperature and quality (TVB) data and graphs during distribution. The research results indicate that the IoT-based temperature and quality monitoring system can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the cold supply chain at PT XYZ. This system can reduce product damage with real-time monitoring, increasing customer satisfaction and the company's competitiveness
