ANALISIS PEMINDAHAN MATERIAL DENGAN PENDEKATAN RECOMMENDED WEIGHT LIMIT

Penanganan material secara manual (manual material handling/MMH) merupakan pekerjaan yang berpotensi membahayakan keselamatan kerja seperti timbulnya cedera pada sistem tulang dan otot (musculoskeletal disorders). Faktor penyebab cidera tersebut antara lain postur kerja yang tidak nyaman (tepat), berat beban yang diangkat, dan frekuensi pengangkatan. Pekerjaan pembuatan batako merupakan salah satu contoh pekerjaan yang dilakukan secara manual. Pekerjaan ini meliputi pengadukan bahan baku, mencetak, menjemur batako basah, dan mengangkat batako kering. Aktifitas kerja pekerja tersebut termasuk rawan terhadap cidera tulang belakang. Penentukan aktifitas pengangkatan beban yang memiliki resiko cidera tulang belakang dan menentukan berat beban yang direkomendasikan dengan metode NIOSH Equation. Langkah awal adalah perhitungan Recommended Weight Limit (RWL) yang hasilnya berupa nilai Lifting Index (LI). Jika nilai LI lebih dari satu maka pekerjaan tersebut berpotensi mengakibatkan resiko cidera tulang belakang. Sedangkan untuk tolak ukur penentu berat ringannya pekerjaan dilakukan dengan perhitungan konsumsi energi. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa aktivitas kerja yang berpotensi mengakibatkan cidera tulang belakang karena nilai LI lebih dari satu adalah stasiun kerja menjemur batako basah.. Perbaikan variabel dilakukan sampai mendapatkan nilai Lifting Index kurang dari satu. Dari hasil perbaikan tersebut diharapkan bahwa pekerjaan pembuatan batako tidak berpotensi mengakibatkan cidera tulang belakang. Perhitungan konsumsi energi untuk semua stasiun kerja masih dalam kondisi tidak melebihi batas yang ditentukan yaitu sebesar 5,2 kkal/menit, sehingga termasuk pekerja moderat dan aman.

Perbaikan Citra Tanda Tangan Digital Menggunakan Metode Otsu Thressholding dan Sauvola

Abstract :  The digital era forces people to digitize in all fields. Digital product that is often found is digital image. One kind of digital image application is the use of a digital image signature embedded in a document. However, often the results are unsatisfactory, such as background color problems, noise, lack of clarity, etc. The quality of digital image signatures can be improved by implementing the Otsu Thresholding and Sauvola methods. These two methods were chosen because they are widely used in document image quality improvement. The purpose of this study is to produce a better digital image signature and to compare the performance of these two methods. The results showed that the quality of the images produced by these two methods was better than the original image or by using standard filters from a word processing application. Meanwhile, from the two methods used, Sauvola's method was slightly better than Otsu's method. In terms of visual evaluations, the Sauvola method total score is 13 compare to Otsu method score that is 11. Meanwhile, the PSNR ratio show that the two methods give the same results, that is 34,571 db

COMPARISON OF IMAGE SEGMENTATION METHOD IN IMAGE CHARACTER EXTRACTION PREPROCESSING USING OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGINITON

Today, there are many documents in the form of digital images obtained from various sources which must be able to be processed by a computer automatically. One of the document image processing is text feature extraction using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. However, in many cases OCR technology are unable to read text characters in digital images accurately. This could be due to several factor such as poor image quality or noise. In order to get accurate result, the image must be in a good quality, so that digital image need to be preprocessed. The image preprocessing method used in this study are Otsu Thressholding Binarization, Niblack, and Sauvola methods. While the OCR technology used to extract the character is Tesseract library in Python. The test results show that direct text extraction from the original image gives better results with a character match rate average of 77.27%. Meanwhile, the match rate using the Otsu Thressholding method was 70.27%, the Sauvola method was 69.67%, and the Niblack method was only 35.72%. However, in some cases in this research the Sauvola and Otsu methods give better results
