Industrial Electrical Engineering Lecturer Community Service: Homemade Vokalite Brand Lamps Illuminate Rembes Village, Bringin, Semarang

Industrial Electrical Engineering Lecturer Community Service: Homemade Vokalite Brand Lamps Illuminate Rembes Village, Bringin, Semarang

An encouraging initiative has been carried out by lecturers from the Department of Industrial Electrical Engineering at the Vocational School in Central Java. These dedicated lecturers not only teach classes, but they also make a real contribution to society by creating homemade lamps branded “Vokalite”. Rembes Village, located in Bringin, Semarang, has been the beneficiary of this extraordinary community service. In an effort to improve the quality of life and illuminate the dark streets in the village, the lecturers developed lamps with advanced but environmentally friendly technology. These lamps not only provide bright light, but are also energy efficient, which is very important for rural communities. With the Vokalite brand, these lights not only provide security for village residents, but also demonstrate the sustainability and innovation that the Vocational School has in the field of electrical engineering. The residents of Rembes Village welcomed this initiative and felt helped by the presence of the Vokalite lamps. They expressed their gratitude to the lecturers and educational institutions who care about their welfare. Through sustainable community service like this, it is hoped that there will continue to be new innovations that provide direct benefits to society, as well as strengthening the ties between higher education and society.

LED Lights Made by Vocational Schools

LED Lights Made by Vocational Schools

“Vokalite Ready to Light Up the World” is the tagline of the lamp made by the Diponegoro University Vocational School. Through the Teaching Factory Program, the Industrial Electrical Engineering Study Program is ready to make various kinds of LED lamps, starting from 7 watts, 9 watts, 12 watts, 15 watts, 20 watts, 30 watts and 40 watts.

Making LED lights through the Teaching Factory program will start on October 2 2023. The manufacturing process does not involve students from the Industrial Electrical Engineering Study Program with the aim that students also understand how to make LED lights from the start to the quality control process.

Service activities for Installing Solar Cells as Lighting Lamps

In Rembes Village, Bringin District, Semarang Regency, some roads still do not have street lights. This is because the location of the road is far from people’s homes so there is no electricity source that can be used for street lighting. Even though this road is the main road that becomes access to the village. This condition is felt to create vulnerabilities that can lead to crime. This obstacle can be overcome by using solar cells as street lighting, where the lamp does not depend on a voltage source from PLN. The lamp works by utilizing sunlight during the day.

The sunlight will be converted into electricity which is then stored in the battery. This electricity from the battery is then used to turn on the lights at night. Solar cells are an alternative for street lighting where electrical power is supplied by sunlight. This lamp uses a Solar Module with a life time of up to 25 years which functions to receive sunlight which is then converted into electricity through the photovoltaic process. The photovoltaic system works on the principle of the photovoltaic effect, namely the emergence of an electric voltage due to the contact of two electrodes connected to a solid or liquid system when opened in the sun.

To fulfill the duties of lecturers in the field of service, several lecturers from the Industrial Electrical Engineering Study Program, Vocational School of Diponegoro University, including Yuniarto, ST, MT, Ir. H. Saiful Manan, MT, Arkhan Subari, ST, M. Kom, Priyo Sasmoko, ST, M. Eng, Tito Bobot Pamungkas and Lambang Galih W, intend to install cell photos as automatic switches for street lighting installations in Rembes Village, District Bringin, Semarang Regency The determination of the location of the extension was based on the consideration that the majority of the villagers already use electricity, but there are still roads that do not have street lights because they are far from settlements. In fact, this road is the main road that becomes access to the village. To overcome this, it is necessary to install street lights that use electricity from the sun, which does not depend at all on a voltage source from PLN.

Manufacture And Installation Of Disinfectant Booths In Banyumanik

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus in Indonesia has made many parties make various efforts to prevent the spread of the virus, one of which is by spraying disinfectant liquid in public places that often have direct contact with humans. Disinfectants are substances or processes that kill germs on inanimate objects. Germs can be viruses, bacteria or other microorganisms that can cause infection and disease. As reported by Cancer.gov, most disinfectants contain harsh and toxic chemicals. So it is forbidden to use it on the skin or body of humans or other living things. Hydrogen peroxide is a common ingredient in antiseptics and disinfectants. However, the concentration is lower in antiseptics than in disinfectants. Another substance that is often used in disinfectants is sodium hypochlorite. The active ingredients which are also commonly contained in this bleaching liquid are effective in killing viruses, bacteria and fungi, 10-60 minutes after being sprayed on hard objects.

Due to limited resources, not all public places or facilities are regularly sprayed with disinfectant. Through the service program mechanism, lecturers of the Industrial Electrical Engineering study program at the Undip Vocational College include Dista Yoel Tadeus, ST, MT, Fakhruddin Mangkusasmito, ST, MT, Ari Bawono Putranto, S.Si, M.Si, Drs. Eko Ariyanto, MT and Drs. Heru Winarno, MT, proposed the manufacture and installation of a tool in the form of a disinfectant booth to be operated in a public facility, namely Banyumanik District. People who come will be directed to pass through the disinfection booth before carrying out activities in the Banyumanik District. The goal is to minimize the potential for the spread of the COVID-19 virus in public facilities.

This community service activity has been successful and has been completed. The disinfectant booth unit and its supporting components have been handed over to the Banyumanik sub-district office through the sub-district head directly. Currently the tool is operated and used to disinfect the clothes worn by people who come to the Banyumanik sub-district office. This was done as an effort to minimize the potential for the spread of COVID-19 in public areas, especially at the Banyumanik sub-district office.
