Abstract

This project describes the development of a semi-automated amplang packaging machine. The development of machine only focused only on packaging of amplang and not for how amplang was made. This machine is specifically designed to increase the production rate of an SME company of Rosmie Bersaudara Sdn Bhd in Sabah. This company totally relies on manual workers to scoop the amplang snacks into the plastic packet. This requires a lot of time. With the new machine, the time taken for the workers to package one packet of amplang will be shorter. Thus, the freshness of amplang will be preserved. This machine implements Arduino Uno microcontroller and a sensor of load cell to measure the weight of amplang before the packets are sealed. To simulate the electric circuit, Fritzing software was used. In results, the machine able to packed 100 g weight of amplang. This machine consists of vibrational feeder lane, sealant and load cell sensor for weighing and packaging process. The time taken for the amplang to be weigh and reach 100 g is about 8.17 seconds. The overall price for this machine is RM715.89 including cost of material and hardware that have been used. Based on the results, this machine able to weight the amplang with similar weight of current process. Therefore, the machine has been designed and fabricated successfully with their functionality to support amplang manufacturing company.
