RANCANG BANGUN PROTOTIPE ALAT BIRD DETERRENT BERBASIS LORA DENGAN SISTEM MONITORING DAN KENDALI JARAK JAUH // PROTOTYPE OF A LORA-BASED MONITORING AND REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR BIRD DETERRENT EQUIPMENT

Pengendalian burung di area airside bandar udara merupakan salah satu upaya untuk mengurangi potensi terjadinya bird strike yang dapat mengganggu keselamatan operasional penerbangan. Peralatan bird deterrent yang digunakan saat ini masih bersifat stand-alone, belum terintegrasi dengan sistem monitoring maupun kendali jarak jauh, serta masih bekerja berdasarkan interval waktu tertentu. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan teknisi belum dapat mengetahui status alat secara real-time dan belum dapat mengaktifkan alat secara langsung dari jarak jauh ketika terdapat potensi keberadaan burung di area operasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang prototipe sistem monitoring dan kendali jarak jauh peralatan bird deterrent berbasis LoRa yang terintegrasi dengan web dashboard. Sistem ini menggunakan dua perangkat utama, yaitu Transceiver A sebagai unit alat bird deterrent dan Transceiver B sebagai unit monitoring serta kendali. Komunikasi antarperangkat menggunakan modul LoRa SX1278 pada frekuensi 433 MHz, sedangkan web dashboard digunakan untuk menampilkan status perangkat, kualitas sinyal RSSI dan SNR, jumlah packet, mode operasi, serta memberikan perintah kendali seperti play, stop, mode manual, dan mode otomatis. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi LoRa pada kondisi Line of Sight dapat menerima data hingga jarak 1000 meter. Sedangkan pada kondisi Non-Line of Sight, data masih dapat diterima hingga jarak 600 meter. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi LoRa tetap dapat berjalan meskipun terdapat hambatan pada jalur transmisi, sehingga sistem masih mampu mendukung pada kondisi lingkungan yang memiliki halangan. Pengujian kendali melalui web dashboard menunjukkan bahwa monitoring peralatan secara real-time dan perintah kendali dapat berjalan sesuai fungsi. Dengan demikian, prototipe ini dapat mendukung proses monitoring dan kendali jarak jauh peralatan bird deterrent secara lebih terpusat, responsif, dan real-time pada skala prototipe. // Bird control in the airport airside area is one of the efforts to reduce the potential occurrence of bird strike, which may disrupt flight operational safety. However, the bird deterrent equipment currently used is still stand-alone, not yet integrated with any monitoring or remote control system, and still operates based on a certain time interval. This condition causes technicians to be unable to monitor the equipment status in real-time and unable to activate the device remotely when there is a potential presence of birds in the operational area. This research aims to design a prototype of a LoRa-based remote monitoring and control system for bird deterrent equipment integrated with a web dashboard. The system uses two main devices, namely Transceiver A as the bird deterrent unit and Transceiver B as the monitoring and control unit. Communication between devices is carried out using the LoRa SX1278 module at a frequency of 433 MHz, while the web dashboard is used to display device status, signal quality in the form of RSSI and SNR values, packet count, operating mode, and to send control commands such as play, stop, manual mode, and automatic mode. The test results show that LoRa communication under Line of Sight conditions can receive data up to a distance of 1000 meters. Whereas under Non-Line of Sight conditions, data could still be received up to a distance of 600 meters. This result indicates that LoRa communication can continue to operate even when obstacles are present along the transmission path. With this capability, the system can still support remote monitoring and control of bird deterrent equipment in areas with physical obstructions. In addition, the web dashboard testing shows that real-time monitoring and control commands can function properly. Therefore, this prototype is expected to support the monitoring and remote control process of bird deterrent equipment in a more centralized, responsive, and real-time manner on a prototype scale.
