Smart system using programmable logic controller for seabin prototype

Abstract

This research aims to design an automatic garbage collection system using a Programmable logic controller (PLC) and an Arduino Uno waste monitoring system. The function of this tool is to make people easier for clean marine debris, which is usually clean manually. In this case, operators or cleaners are only sufficient to wait for information in SMS if the trash bin is fully loaded. This study used an LDR sensor as input to respond to the state of the wastebasket and a DC motor used as a transmission system in transporting and moving the position of the wastebasket. In addition, using the ultrasonic sensor as input in the trash bin and a GSM SIM 900 A module functions as a medium for sending messages that the trash bin was full. Resultant of this study indicate that the tool can lift ±0.5 kg of waste per hour, with the heaviest weight that can be lifted ±0.7 kg and the lightest weight of ±0.5 kg with the most types of rubbish obtained in the form of plastic and other small debris.
