Abstract

Bomag BW 211D-40 SL is a long-term investment capital in the field of heavy equipment. This unit is used for soil compaction in the construction process or others. One of the main components in this unit is the final drive. In this section, it consists of a planetary gear arrangement. The final drive component is one of the components that often experience damage, one of the causes of the damage of this component is due to errors when operating on tilt conditions. This research uses experimental methods to design a tilt monitoring tool for the unit during operation that can send notifications in real-time (using the internet of things). The device uses an MPU 6050 sensor to detect the tilt of the unit and is combined with the GSM Module SIM800L as a data sender to the internet. The vehicle owner or foreman mechanic can monitor through Blynk. This notification is in the form of a condition of the unit’s slope that is working normally, warning with slope conditions above. This data will be used as a basis for assessing the work competence of correct or incorrect operators.
