PROTOTYPE TELEMETERING OF SHIP LOAD ON THE PORT WITH HANDPHONE BASED ON NODEMCU ESP8266

Abstract

Ship load gauges usually use the Draft survey method, which is an activity to find out how
much cargo in units of weight (Kilogram or Metric Ton) is in a water transport (ship / vessel
or Barge / Barge). A way to measure or calculate the weight or tonnage of goods or cargo on
board based on Archimedes Law or based on the volume of water pressed by the ship by
reading the draft mark on the hull and supporting data on the ship. (Hydrostatic Table,
Sounding Table etc.).
The method that has been used so far is still using the manual method. So that a Telemetering
Prototype of Ship Weight is made at the Port Pier Via mobile phones to make it easier to find
out the actual weight of the ship's cargo digitally. This study uses a shipbuilding prototype
with an ultrasonic sensor to determine the increase in water when there is a ship's cargo to be
measured. The load sensor readings will be processed using NodeMCU which is displayed on
the Blynk application which can be accessed on a smartphone in the form of a water level.
