Temperature Monitoring Based on Internet of Things in Ribbed Smoke Sheet Fumigation

Abstract

Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS) is processed latex in the sheet used as raw material for various rubber industries. In the RSS industries, the factor that significantly affects the quality of the final product is the smoke-drying process, and therefore enterprises must carefully monitor this process. This study aims to design an IoT-based device for monitoring the temperature of the RSS smoking room and increase work effectiveness and efficiency after the monitoring device is available. This study uses black box testing as a performance test equipped with compatible hardware and software. System testing and data analysis include performance tests, monitoring devices implementation, and work effectiveness and efficiency. The validation results showed that the designed device had functioned well. Implementing monitoring devices for smoking room temperature can increase the efficiency of monitoring time carried out by workers by 78.83%. The value of RSS quality also increased by 120% to 133% after implementing the devices, which means it is very effective.
