Pendeteksian Kebocoran pada Jaringan Pipa Berbasis Internet of Things (IoT) dengan Notifikasi dan Lokalisasi Sumber Kebocoran

Abstract

This study aims to design and develop a pipeline leakage detection system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) that provides real-time notifications and determines the location of leaks with high accuracy. Pipeline leakage is a serious issue, as it can lead to water wastage, environmental damage, and high maintenance costs. Therefore, a system that can detect leaks quickly and accurately is crucial for improving the efficiency of pipeline infrastructure management. The system developed in this study uses an ESP32 microcontroller, Waterflow sensor, and GPS module. The ESP32 microcontroller serves as the central processing unit that processes the data received from the Waterflow sensor and the GPS module. The Waterflow sensor detects changes in water flow that indicate a leak in the pipeline. When an abnormal reduction in flow is detected, the sensor sends a signal to the microcontroller. The GPS module then provides location coordinates, pinpointing the exact location of the leak, allowing the maintenance team to quickly address the issue. Additionally, the system is integrated with the Blynk application, which enables remote monitoring through a mobile device. The Blynk application provides a user interface that facilitates the monitoring of pipeline status and delivers notifications whenever a leak is detected. Testing results show that the IoT-based leakage detection system is capable of identifying leaks and sending real-time information with good accuracy. With this system, the process of identifying and addressing pipeline leaks can be done faster and more efficiently, ultimately reducing the losses caused by leakage. The system also offers a more effective solution for pipeline maintenance, improving the reliability of water distribution systems and reducing water resource wastage.
