Sistem Kontrol Alat Pemberi Pakan Ikan Otomatis Menggunakan Tenaga Surya

Abstrak

The demand for fish consumption in Indonesia, particularly from freshwater fish farming, has yet to be adequately met. One contributing factor is inefficient feeding practices, resulting in suboptimal harvest yields. To address this issue, an automatic fish-feeding device is essential to regulate feeding schedules accurately. This device harnesses solar energy as a renewable power source, eliminating dependency on conventional electricity supplied by PLN. This study aims to develop an automated fish-feeding control system that ensures precise feeding quantities and timings, based on specific needs. Control is achieved by adjusting the motor’s delay, which disperses the feed. A battery, charged via solar panels, serves as a backup power source, enhancing reliability. Additionally, the system incorporates the Internet of Things (IoT) for control and monitoring, allowing fish farmers to manage feeding remotely. An Android application serves as the user interface, enabling farmers to control and oversee the system from a distance. Implementing this solar-powered automatic fish-feeding system promises to improve feeding efficiency and effectiveness by optimizing feed quantity and timing.
