Manufacturing a Smart Locker Security System for Public Spaces using E-KTP as a Primary Access

Abstract

Everyone requires protection of belongings, especially security in public spaces such as locker rooms. Several locations in public areas keep hiring conventional security systems based on keys and padlocks, while others provide merely keyless lockers guarded by personnel. As a result, the user must ensure that the goods deposited with the locker storage officer are adequately secured. Numerous technologies have been used in conventional security systems, ranging from the difficult-to-imitate shape of keys and padlocks to the use of a padlock combination of numbers. The security system for storage places is also a purpose of information technology. This research aims to provide information on security systems in public spaces, especially shared access lockers. This project employs an experimental approach to create a prototype in the form of a smart locker that incorporates information technology. The lockers were constructed utilising plywood with an HPL finish on the exterior and PVC sheets on the interior. The dimensions of the locker were determined using the standard sizes of small and large luggage. Additionally, the approach to materials is addressed to minimise production waste. This research employs RFID technology that runs on the Arduino Nano to supplement the locker security system. Numerous RFID cards, including E-Toll cards and E-KTP, have been tested as the principal access method for opening and closing the smart locker's door.
