Sistem Perancangan Alat Penyortiran Kualitas Sayur Terong Berdasarkan Ukuran Dan Warna Berbasis Arduino

Abstract

At this time there is still a lot of agricultural work that uses labor in carrying out production activities and completing the process after eggplant production, including the process of sorting vegetables. Vegetable sorting is the stage of separating harvested vegetables based on the level of color and size of the vegetables, marked by the difference in the color of the eggplants. Generally, in Indonesia, eggplants that are often encountered have 2 colors, namely: Purple and Green. Purple eggplant is an eggplant that has a shiny skin, oval in shape, fuller and widened at the end, while green eggplant has a long shape and has a hard texture, is denser, thicker, softer, tastes slightly sour and slightly bitter because it contains alkaloids. nicotinoids, and have more seeds. The grouping of eggplants in several agricultural industries is currently still carried out in the conventional way. This process has drawbacks because humans have limited time to work on and think and often feel bored or negligent when doing sorting activities for a long time. The design of this Arduino-based system can help ease human work as a vegetable separator controller based on size and color which is equipped with a TCS3200 sensor and Servo Motor as a separator.
