DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATIC MAGNET SWEEPER USING IOT SYSTEM

An automatic magnet sweeper using an IoT (Internet of Things) system is a device that is designed to automatically sweep and collect ferrous metal debris from a designated area. The automatic magnet sweeper uses an IoT system that can be used in a variety of settings, such as warehouses, factories, and public spaces, to keep the area clean and free of hazards. A problem that can be addressed is the accumulation of metal
debris in a designated area which can pose a variety of hazards, such as tripping or slipping risks, as well as being unsightly or disruptive to the normal operation of a facility. Most of the conventional magnet sweeper in the market was manually operated, costing human labor and unconvincing efficiency of metal debris collection. This study aims to develop an automatic magnet sweeper with an Internet of Things (IoT) system. The three-dimensional magnet sweeper model was designed by using Solidworks Version 2021 software. Next, the coding of the system was generated and Arduino IDE
Version 2.03 software was used to analyze the Arduino system. The model was typically powered by a battery and can be programmed to follow existing paths or to respond to real-time conditions and inputs. The result obtained shows the magnet
sweeper successfully collects the metal debris automatically which is more effective and efficient compared to the manual magnet sweeper operation. An automatic magnet sweeper can help to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries caused by tripping or slipping on debris. Hence, developing a magnet sweeper using an automatic IoT system will increase the efficiency of metal debris collection on roadways or warehouse floors.
