ITS Campus, Vocational News – Irregular feeding can cause some fish to not get enough feed or miss it, causing uneven growth. Overcoming this problem, the Community Service Team (Abmas) of the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) initiated an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart feed tool for the people of Kedungluk Village, Candi District, Sidoarjo.
The chief executive of the Abmas team, Enny Indasyah SST MT MSc, revealed that the innovation was developed after seeing the problems that occurred in the ponds owned by the Delta Mina Sejahtera Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes), Kedunglukuk. “To maximize their productivity in the fisheries sector, an intelligent automatic feed system that is integrated with IoT is designed so that it can be monitored automatically,” said Enny.
Material presentation session related to the use of an intelligent fish feed system for fish cultivators by ITS KKN students.
This tool is known to utilize solar panels as an energy source, so that feeding activities become more measurable, consistent, timely and efficient. In addition, this system also allows monitoring of the battery capacity of the feeder through the website. “This system is also able to detect the amount of feed that has been given that day,” said the lecturer at the ITS Electrical Automation Engineering Department.
Not only explaining how to use the tools, Abmas activities which lasted for two months since last August, also provided massive assistance and training to the local community. “We will always evaluate this feed system so that it will always provide convenience to the community in managing tools,” he explained.
ITS KKN students are currently testing a tool in a pond owned by BUMDes Delta Mina Sejahtera, Kedung peluk.
Not only Enny, this Abmas activity also involved five lecturers and 13 students from the ITS Electrical Automation Engineering Department in the tool design and development process. “In addition, the support and good reception from the local community made this activity not experience many obstacles,” he said.
In the future, Enny and the team plan to register product copyrights so that they can be commercialized to the wider community. “That way, the farmers or actors can be helped by this innovation so that they can increase the productivity and added value of their products,” he concluded.
