Abstract

English

The increasing number of motorized vehicles in Indonesia, fuels such as diesel, pertalite, and Pertamax are urgently needed. At a number of gas stations in Makassar City, officers to check the volume of the buried tank are generally done by manually measuring the level of fuel in the buried tank, namely using a deep stick that is inserted into the buried tank until it reaches the bottom of the tank. Measuring the fuel level manually, this method is less effective because to measure the fuel in the buried tank you have to find the limit position of the pole rod being immersed in the tank. A real time monitoring system is needed that is able to read the altitude and availability of fuel, especially diesel fuel. This research focuses on designing and manufacturing an Internet of Things (IoT)-based solar height monitoring tool that can access and monitor via Blynk and Web Server on mobile phones/laptops. The tool that was built uses the HC SR-04 ultrasonic sensor in reading the height of the solar distance and uses the Wemos D1 mini as a microcontroller in its programming. This research examines the Quality of Service (QoS) using throughput, packet loss, delay, and jitter parameters by comparing the two providers. The results obtained from providers X and Y are that provider X is superior in the jitter category with a web server platform value of 86.356 ms and blynk 114..53 ms with the standard TIPHON index “2 Medium”. The results of testing the entire system by testing the position of the HC SR-4 ultrasonic sensor, the average error for the entire system with a value of the middle side is 0.2187%, the left side is 0.1479%, and the right side is 0.2349%, the lowest error percentage value there is a left side. This difference in error is due to the different angles used when measuring.

Bahasa Indonesia

Meningkatnya jumlah kendaraan bermotor di Indonesia, bahan bakar seperti solar, pertalite, dan pertamax sangat dibutuhkan. Di sejumlah SPBU di Kota Makassar, petugas untuk mengecek volume tangki terpendam umumnya dilakukan dengan cara mengukur level bahan bakar di tangki terpendam secara manual, yakni menggunakan tongkat dalam yang ditancapkan ke tangki terpendam hingga mencapai dasar tangki. Mengukur level bahan bakar secara manual, cara ini kurang efektif karena untuk mengukur bahan bakar di tangki terpendam harus mencari posisi batas batang galah yang dicelupkan ke dalam tangki. Diperlukan sistem monitoring real time yang mampu membaca ketinggian dan ketersediaan bahan bakar khususnya solar. Penelitian ini berfokus pada perancangan dan pembuatan alat monitoring ketinggian solar berbasis Internet of Things (IoT) yang dapat diakses dan dipantau melalui Blynk dan Web Server pada ponsel/laptop. Alat yang dibangun menggunakan sensor ultrasonik HC SR-04 dalam membaca ketinggian jarak solar dan menggunakan Wemos D1 mini sebagai mikrokontroler dalam pemrogramannya. Penelitian ini menguji Quality of Service (QoS) menggunakan parameter throughput, packet loss, delay, dan jitter dengan membandingkan kedua provider. Hasil yang didapatkan dari provider X dan Y yaitu provider X lebih unggul pada kategori jitter dengan nilai web server platform sebesar 86.356 ms dan blynk 114..53 ms dengan standar index TIPHON “2 Medium”. Hasil pengujian keseluruhan sistem dengan pengujian posisi sensor ultrasonik HC SR-4, rata-rata error untuk keseluruhan sistem dengan nilai sisi tengah sebesar 0.2187%, sisi kiri sebesar 0.1479%, dan sisi kanan sebesar 0.2349%, nilai presentase error terendah terdapat pada sisi kiri. Perbedaan error ini dikarenakan perbedaan sudut yang digunakan saat pengukuran.
