ABSTRACT The advancement of information technology has encouraged various business sectors to utilize web-based information systems to improve efficiency and expand marketing reach. Arif Ban, a business engaged in the sale of tires and rims, currently does not have a digital sales system to support its business processes effectively. Therefore, this study aims to design and develop a web-based…
ABSTRAK Tahu Pak Budi Factory is a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) engaged in tofu production and located in Tarai Bangun Village. Since its establishment, the factory has used manual systems for recording sales, orders, and finances, leading to inefficient operations and limited market reach. To address these issues, a website-based e-commerce application was designed and developed to…
ABSTRACT The advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables the automation of intelligent and efficient office systems. This thesis presents the design and implementation of an IoT-based Smart Office system consisting of two main components: an electronic device control system and an RFID-based employee attendance system. The system employs ESP32 and ESP8266 microcontrollers integr…
ABSTRACT Riau Province possesses significant tourism potential; however, a portion of its residents tend to prefer tourist destinations outside the region, such as West Sumatra. One contributing factor is the lack of an information system capable of providing personalized tourism recommendations. This study aims to develop a tourism recommendation website based on a Hybrid Recommender Syst…
ABSTRACT We are entering an era of energy transition, in which the use of fossil fuels is being increasingly replaced by new renewable energy sources, which are considered to be environmentally friendly and low in carbon emissions. This can be seen in the increasing number of decentralised power plants (PT), which are integrated by new renewable energy plants, one of which is the solar power p…
ABSTRACT Activated carbon is widely known as an adsorbent material in various purification applications, including in the processing of liquid smoke. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature and activation time of activated carbon calcination on purification of liquid smoke. Dry oil palm frond waste with an amount of 6 kg was carbonized using the torrefaction method producing a c…

ABSTRACT Toothpaste is a preparation for cleaning and polishing the surface of teeth consisting of fine CaCO3 (calcium carbonate), mixed with glycerin plus natural ingredients to inhibit the growth of germs and provide a fresh taste so that users like it. This study used variations of betel leaf extract with the maceration method. The solvent used must be able to extract the desired substance …
ABSTRACT The increasing production of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) has led to a significant rise in baglog waste. This waste has the potential to pollute the environment if not properly utilized. One way to manage this waste is by processing it into compost. However, the low nitrogen content in baglog waste necessitates the addition of other materials, such as cow manure and bioactiv…
