Design of Environmental Detector System (EDS) application through industrial and vocational collaboration

Abstract

Politeknik Negeri Medan (POLMED) as a vocational institution and PT Berkat Solusi Teknik as a partner have the same responsibility to solve problems that exist in society. Problems in society related to pollution from industrial waste. This is due to many complaints from the public, NGO, and other organizations regarding environmental damage due to production and economic activities. Based on the problems above, this study is needed to detect and monitor environmental parameters such as CO₂ level, lighting, noise, temperature, humidity, and measurement data that can be accessed and displayed in real-time via the internet. The implementation method is strengthening work organization, making EDS prototype brackets, design of an environmental detector system (EDS) prototype, prototype testing, MBKM internship, international conferences, monitoring and coordinating with partner, internal monitoring, and evaluation I and II, and preparation of final report. We innovate in the selection of components and the technology used. This collaboration is a symbiotic mutualism between POLMED and industry. The results are in average values, namely the density of dust particles is 1.418 µg/m3. Temperature 36.60oC. Humidity 53.82%RH. Light intensity 10,615 lux. These values above are still normal condition, and there is no pollution in campus. Especially for temperature and humidity. This condition above on the threshold.
