The Application of Ergonomics in the Design of Air Filtering Devices Through Software Engineering

Abstract

Air is a part of an important element in life, with the aim that all living things can move optimally. From this everything needs to get quality air, so that the inhaled air feels healthy and fresh. Lately, air problems are very much discussed, especially in urban areas that produce many pollution from various sources produced. Air pollution is one of the activities that produce air quality inappropriate as it should, and is contaminated with hazardous substances for living things. This research has the aim of applying ergonomics in the design of air filtering devices through software repair. In this study, applying analyze, design, development, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model. Each of them focuses on the design of the tools carried out: Analyze identifies the problems that occur, especially in the air quality which lately is widely discussed. Design of designing tools that have stages: vacuum cleaner, washable pre filter, activated carbon deodorization filter, dust collecting filter, and internet hardware of things. Development carried out the development that will be carried out, which is integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT) in the form of application. Implement in the application of air filtering equipment, namely in the housing, shopping, and places of dismissal sectors. Evaluate conducts testing that will be known to the strength of the tool, by paying attention to several previous references. The results of this study will produce an air screening tool through software engineering, namely Sketchup software. Some literature studies show air filtering with some tools used will make the dirty air clean air. Some categories and range of standard levels of Particle Metter (PM) 2.5 and Standard Air Freight Index (ISPU): Good (1-50), Medium (51-100), Unhealthy (101-200), Very Unhealthy (201-300 ), and dangerous (301-500). The conclusion in this study results in a design of air filtering tools that can be applied on the roof of the house, shop, and others. This has the goal so that the results of dirty air above will be filtering and producing clean air. So that the air inhaled around the building with the tool will feel healthy and fresh.
