Abstract
This paper describes a design of a fry counter intended to be used by consuming fish farmer. Along this time, almost all the fry counting process is counted by manual, which is done by a human. It is requiring much energy and needs high concentration; thus, can cause a high level of exhaustion for the fry counting worker. Besides that, the human capability and capacity of counting are limited to a low level. A fry counter design in this study utilizes a multi-channel optocoupler sensor to increase the counting capacity. The multi-channel fry counter counting system is developed as a solution to a limited capacity of available fry counter. This design uses an input signal extender system on controller including the interrupt system. From the experiment, high accuracy level is obtained on the counting and channel detection, therefore, this design can be implemented and could help farmers to increase the production capacity of consuming fish.
Highlights
The development of agricultural products continues to be carried out by applying technology to increase production [1]
The test results of the system for sensor sensitivity have shown that the fry counter system can work well
The sensor output logic is fixed "LOW" and does not change which indicates that the receiver is quite stable and sensitive enough to the light emitted by the transmitter
Summary
The development of agricultural products continues to be carried out by applying technology to increase production [1]. No exception for the production of inland fisheries, supply-demand is increasing and the suppliers must be ready to increase the production. One of the problems in the fishery is the existence of several production processes that are still done manually, which are exhausting energy and costs. An example is the process of fry counting. The counting of fry that reaches tens of thousands of fries manually causes inefficiency and bad health effect to the employee. This method can cause calculation inaccuracy and stress on the fry [2]
