Abstract

The market potential for testing machines for environmental conditions is very large in Indonesia, such as in food industry, cosmetic industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc. These industries in their product development often experience problems in testing environmental condition test machines, because almost 100% of them are imported products and there are no locally made environmental conditions testing machines. The condition has led the author and the teams to take the initiative to try to develop a test machine control system for environmental conditions that monitors temperature, humidity, air pressure and CO gas in an environment as the main parameters in food testing. The test machine is designed using Raspberry pi zero wifi as a control device and Node Red as an application for display monitoring that can be accessed remotely. With the concept of IoT control and monitoring chamber, it can be done remotely using the Node Red Software.
