Kotak Penitipan Barang Berbayar Menggunakan Coin Acceptor dan Sensor Rfid sebagai Sistem Smartlock

Abstract

Baggage storage is an essential service often needed in public locations such as malls, stations, and airports. However, traditional storage systems frequently face various obstacles, including long queues, risk of lost items, and the need for staff to manage transactions. Therefore, this research aims to develop a paid storage locker system utilizing Coin Acceptor technology and RFID Sensors as smartlocks. The designed system allows users to make payments directly using coins, which then provides access to the storage box. RFID sensors are used for the access system in the storage lockers where the sensor only identifies cards or tags owned by the user. Research results show that this system successfully improves the efficiency of item storage and retrieval processes, reduces the risk of loss, and provides a better experience for users. From 10 experimental data trials, the test results obtained show that only Rp1,000 coins with registered cards can open the box, while other combinations Rp1,000, Rp500 (silver), Rp500 (bronze), Rp200, Rp100 coins with unregistered cards will not open the box. Additionally, Rp500 (silver), Rp500 (bronze), Rp200, Rp100 coins with registered cards also will not open the box. Thus, this paid storage locker system not only offers a practical solution in baggage storage management but also serves as an example of technological innovation that can be implemented in various public places.
