Abstract

This project addresses the common struggle of higher education students in comprehending washing machine systems and maintenance. Recognizing the inefficiency of existing machines, the initiative focuses on enhancing teaching and learning processes, particularly for TVET students. The main objective is to develop an IoT-based washing machine trainer, offering practical training and effective learning tools. Specific objectives include simulating real washing machine functions, facilitating learning processes for instructors, analyzing understanding of washing machine systems, and integrating IoT for improved learning management. The project aims to benefit educational institutions, promote sustainable laundry practices, enhance accessibility, and improve hands-on learning. The development involves overcoming challenges, including errors in the trainer, such as water level sensors, door sensors, and drain valves. The IoT-based system, utilizing Arduino IoT Cloud, connects relays to monitor and control components, providing real-time communication and practical learning experiences. Future improvements could involve simulating various washing machine models, incorporating real-time data analytics, introducing virtual reality components, and implementing a user comments system for continuous enhancement.
