Meteran Air Prabayar Berbasis Smartcard

Abstract

In the present era, the development of technology, water meter in the residential- housing, buildings, ports, airports and others in Indonesia are still using water payments at the end, then on this occasion the author is trying to create an innovation-based Prepaid Water Meter smartcard. The purpose of the creation of this tool is to reduce HR (human resources) required by the water service provider. The tool is divided into two parts, namely a tool that serves as filler RFID Card (owned water services provider) and a tool that serves as RFID reader card prepaid water meter at the same time (being in buildings that use water). Through the interface of Visual Basic water flow data that has been purchased by the consumer is sent to the device through the RFID Card RFID Card filler. Then after consumers enter the data contained on the RFID card prepaid water meter to existing customers in place, then the prepaid water meter opens valve solenoid valve so that water can flow further discharge of water that flows will be measured using a water flow sensor, when water discharge was similar to that measured water discharge data purchased the solenoid valve is closed so that the water can not flow. Automatically when the consumer wants to use water more then the consumer must replenish its RFID Card.
