INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Automation systems are a field that is rapidly growing and becoming the main choice
in the manufacturing sector where machines and tools are all automated. Automation is
basically a method that causes something tools or machines move automatically and it
will facilitate human work. One of the controls used is the arduino control which is one
of the control systems in this project. The system is widely used in an automation system
that produces various types of products. It is a multifunctional device or tool that can be
programmed repeatedly to do work in the manufacturing process.

1.2 Background of the Study

The title of this selected study is related to the spread of the epidemic (COVID-19)
which is spreading in every country today and found that one of the causes of the spread
of the epidemic is due to the contact of a person who has been infected with the virus
on an object and will be at high risk. to be infected to another person if a person touches
the same object. The virus can be absorbed into the human body if a person's hands are
not sanitized using alcoholic disinfectant liquids or using soap. In addition, this
infectious disease can also result in death if a person does not immediately seek
treatment by the hospital. After examining the research problems, researchers have
thought of preventive measures that can be done to reduce this epidemic from spreading
is to build an automatic access system on the toolbox in the workshop that can be used
by staff and students at the Polytechnic. This is because, the toolbox is always used by
most other students. To avoid many touches to open the toolbox by pressing the digit
number, the researcher would like to state the use of rfid card as an access to open the
toolbox and take items in the toolbox. This is because most toolboxes for use in the
workshop are repeatedly used while doing work in the workshop.

1.3 Problem Statement

If seen before, the way to use it is to open the toolbox. Researchers need to press
the access button to open it. There are a few individuals or groups of society are
still lazy to forget to maintain SOP and personal hygiene to do various activities
without sanitation on hands or things to be used before starting activities and at the
same time the virus can infect someone. Therefore, the use of RFID Card on the
3
 toolbox is very important to prevent a person from being infected with the virus.
So, the researcher followed up this problem which is how to encourage a person to
use an RFID Card to open the toolbox and avoid using the access number button.

1.4 Objectives

i. To design secured toolbox with RFID card system

1.5 Study Questions

In the implementation of this project, the tools used are very many and have various
functions and uses. The questions raised by researchers such as 'Can this system have a
different impact from existing systems on the market?' the. In addition, the researcher also
proposed research questions such as ‘What are the main factors in the implementation of
this system? Researchers found that among the main factors of this problem is that
students who open the toolbox by using access numbers forgot the number and too many
touches on the access. However, this raises a question mark to the researcher that is ‘Is it
safe for the future.’ Yes, when using this RFID Card, access to the toolbox is only
available to certain people and cannot be used by others.

1.6 Scope

The scope of this project is to implement the use of RFID cards on this toolbox is as
security. Next, it is also an approach tool in maximizing the touch on the toolbox
when using the access number that needs to be pressed to open this toolbox. Since
the outbreak of this epidemic, all contact with tools, especially those that are always
held, should be minimized. However, this is sometimes impossible to control its
movement, so the researcher of this project uses a system that has been planned

4
 1.6 Significance of the study

In order to implement something, especially in the production of a new product, field

research is very necessary to understand all the things that want to be developed,
including design, analysis, requirements, acceptance and others. This can make the
study achieve the desired objectives and it is very beneficial to users who use the
products of the study. It is more meaningful, if the product produced can solve the
consumer’s problem
.
1.6 1.6 Definition of terms and operations.

This implemented system works with the use of electricity in 12 voltages only.
It requires electrical energy to activate all the systems in this operation to function.
It is very easy to carry and move to all the places the place promises to have electricity
supply. As a precaution for any undesirable circumstances such as the absence of
electricity supply etc., energy from the battery source will be supplied to ensure
that the system operates properly and stably.

Overall summary.

To implement this system as a whole, it is necessary to combine the important things in

its development such as mechanical design, electrical and electronic connections as well
as the ability to implement the programming system to run the process on this project
well and smoothly.

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Chapter Introduction

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a review of past research related

to this project is machine and component in develop of safety toolbox using
RFID CARD. This chapter also expose what component we use to create this
project.

2.2 Concept theories

2.2.1 12v Magnetic lock

There are two main types of electric locking devices. Locking devices can be either "fail
safe" or "fail secure". A fail-secure locking device remains locked when power is lost.
Fail-safe locking devices are unlocked when de-energized. Direct pull electromagnetic
locks are inherently fail-safe. Typically the electromagnet portion of the lock is attached
to the door frame and a mating armature plate is attached to the door. The two
components are in contact when the door is closed. When the electromagnet is
energized, a current passing through the electromagnet creates a magnetic flux that
causes the armature plate to attract to the electromagnet, creating a locking action.

Advantages Disadvantages

inability to jam continuous power supply

long service life lock loses its ability to hold the door if no
power supply

6
2.2.2 5v Relay Module (1 pole)

A relay is an electrically operated switch. It consists of a set of input terminals for

a single or multiple control signals, and a set of operating contact terminals. The
switch may have any number of contacts in multiple contact forms, such as make
contacts, break contacts, or combinations thereof. Relays are used where it is
necessary to control a circuit by an independent low-power signal, or where several
circuits must be controlled by one signal. Relays were first used in long-distance
telegraph circuits as signal repeaters: they refresh the signal coming in from one
circuit by transmitting it on another circuit. Relays were used extensively in
telephone exchanges and early computers to perform logical operations.

The traditional form of a relay uses an electromagnet to close or open the contacts,
but other operating principles have been invented, such as in solid-state relays
which use semiconductor properties for control without relying on moving parts.
Relays with calibrated operating characteristics and sometimes multiple operating
coils are used to protect electrical circuits from overload or faults; in modern
electric power systems these functions are performed by digital instruments still
called protective relays.

Advantages Disadvantages

Compact size and low cost Used only low current application

Easy install and troubleshoot Low speed of application

2.2.7 Arduino RFID Card

RFID is an acronym for “radio-frequency identification” and refers to a technology

whereby digital data encoded in RFID tags or smart labels (defined below) are
captured by a reader via radio waves. RFID is similar to barcoding in that data from
a tag or label are captured by a device that stores the data in a database. RFID,
however, has several advantages over systems that use barcode asset tracking
software. The most notable is that RFID tag data can be read outside the line-of-
sight, whereas barcodes must be aligned with an optical scanner. If you are
considering implementing an RFID solution, take the next step and contact the
RFID experts at AB&R® (American Barcode and RFID).

RFID belongs to a group of technologies referred to as Automatic Identification

and Data Capture (AIDC). AIDC methods automatically identify objects, collect
data about them, and enter those data directly into computer systems with little or
no human intervention. RFID methods utilize radio waves to accomplish this. At a
simple level, RFID systems consist of three components: an RFID tag or smart
label, an RFID reader, and an antenna. RFID tags contain an integrated circuit and
an antenna, which are used to transmit data to the RFID reader (also called an
interrogator).

Advantages Disadvantages

RFID Capabilities. RFID systems can Scanning Issues.

scan multiple items simultaneously
Scanning Range. An RFID reader can RFID Security and Privacy Concerns.
scan a tag as long as it is within
frequency range

2.2.8 Arduino Uno

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and

software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a
button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning
on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by
sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use
the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software
(IDE)?, based on Processing. Over the years Arduino has been the brain of
thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific instruments. A
worldwide community of makers - students, hobbyists, artists, programmers, and
professionals - has gathered around this open-source platform, their contributions
have added up to an incredible amount of accessible knowledge that can be of great
help to novices and experts alike.

The Arduino software is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for
advanced users. It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Teachers and students use it
to build low cost scientific instruments, to prove chemistry and physics principles,
or to get started with programming and robotics. Designers and architects build
interactive prototypes, musicians and artists use it for installations and to
experiment with new musical instruments.

Advantages Disadvantages

Small, portable and cheap Limited Processing power

Programmable Logic No data Storage

2.2.9 Power Supply adaptor 12vdc 2amp

A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical

load. The primary function of a power supply is to convert electric current from a
source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. As a result,
power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. Some power
supplies are separate standalone pieces of equipment, while others are built into the
load appliances that they power. Examples of the latter include power supplies
found in desktop computers and consumer electronics devices. Other functions that
power supplies may perform include limiting the current drawn by the load to safe
levels, shutting off the current in the event of an electrical fault, power conditioning
to prevent electronic noise or voltage surges on the input from reaching the load,
power-factor correction, and storing energy so it can continue to power the load in
the event of a temporary interruption source power (uninterruptible power supply).
All power supplies have a power input connection, which receives energy in the
form of electric current from a source, and one or more power output or rail
connections that deliver current to the load. The source power may come from the
electric power grid, such as an electrical outlet, energy storage devices such as
batteries or fuel cells, generators or alternators, solar power converters or others.

Advantages Disadvantages

don’t get electrocuted
don’t damage or destroy electrical
equipment
Those who do not see the safety precautions
you used may improperly replicate and injure
or kill themselves
safety precautions add to job work time and
may make it more difficult or impossible to
complete the work

2.2.10 Voltage Regulator

A voltage regulator is a system designed to automatically maintain a constant

voltage. A voltage regulator may use a simple feed-forward design or may include
negative feedback. It may use an electromechanical mechanism, or electronic
components. Depending on the design, it may be used to regulate one or more AC
or DC voltages.

Electronic voltage regulators are found in devices such as computer power

supplies where they stabilize the DC voltages used by the processor and other
elements. In automobile alternators and central power station generator plants,
voltage regulators control the output of the plant. In an electric power distribution
system, voltage regulators may be installed at a substation or along distribution
lines so that all customers receive steady voltage independent of how much power
is drawn from the line

Advantages Disadvantages

Versatility of kVA rating, voltage and Poor current overload capacity (except the
configuration series transformer design)

No restrictions on the number of More expensive than mechanical voltage

correction cycles regulators

2.3 Chapter summary

In this chapter, a study has been made for all components involved in the production
of this safety toolbox project using RFID CARD. In addition, in this chapter we will
focus on the history of the background study of each component. We also add other
information where each equipment in terms of mechanical or electronic and
electrical is given information about the weaknesses and shortcomings of the
equipment. This is because it is easier to assess when the project implementation
process is implemented so that other problems will not arise.

 CHAPTER 3
METHODOLOGY

3.1 Chapter Introduction

From the problem statements identified in chapter 1 based on the case study as well
as some searches on existing designs, the design are expanded and convenience of this
product. These objectives and designs are able to meet customer needs and solve
problem statements, several questionnaire forms are distributed to all groups of people
according to Google Forms and receive feedback that can help the product case study.

3.2 Research Design

Based on the case study in the workshop, most student who use this key -shaped toolbox
experience problems such as lost keys, the equipment taken does not know who and the
equipment used is not put back in the toolbox. Because of this, a development system
to implement a toolbox that uses the rfid method is implemented.

3.3 Methods of Data Collection

The solution technique of the manufacturing process of this project is by using the
“flow chart” system. This method is used for the purpose of the project implementation
process where corrections can be improved in line with the period to complete the
project. Among the advantages of using this method, failures are easy to detect as well
as can increase control over a project that is being developed. The process of
developing the phase one by one model, it minimizes the errors that are likely to occur.

13
3.4 Research Instrument

This project implementation method is based on a flow chart that shows the project
implementation process. From the selection of the project title and writing, synopsis,
the production/manufacturing process can be guided as needed. Project design
drawings are made to meet the needs of the project. Design results this is then simulated
using Inventor 3D design software to obtain results related to function and
measurement.
