Schedule Making and Implementation of Preventive Maintenance on Fruit Fly Pest Catching Equipment

.


INTRODUCTION
Indonesia is an agricultural area where there are agricultural lands that are large enough so that they can be used as a source of livelihood for the population.One of the areas in Subang Regency, namely a village called Cigebang Village, utilizes agricultural land to grow chili plants and is a source of livelihood for a group of residents in the village.
Chili is a vegetable commodity that is often planted by the majority of farmers because it has a fairly high economic value.
As the demand for chili increases in the market, the selling price of chili increases.Various innovations for catching fruit fly pests have been made, ranging from traditional ones to using appropriate technology [2].The manufacture of pest traps using solar cells as the main source is very effective in being applied to the agricultural sector [3].In line with the above opinion, the Subang State Polytechnic research team has made a fruit fly trap using the Arduino system powered by solar cells.
The tools that have been through the design, manufacturing and testing processes have been applied to chili plantations.
However, the problem that arises is that tools that are placed in the open will be easily damaged if they do not carry out regular maintenance on the tool.Currently the method used by farmers in overcoming fruit fly pests is with conventional tools made from used bottles.The bottle is scented so that flies are attracted to it and trapped in the plastic bottle.bottles filled with water will make fruit flies fall and die [3] Preventive maintenance is needed in maintaining the condition of the equipment in both small and large scale industries [8].
The selection of preventive maintenance is because this pest trap is a new tool so that to maintain the condition of the tool, routine maintenance is needed.Added by [9] good condition of the machine will remain stable if the implementation of preventive maintenance is always carried out optimally.
Periodic maintenance can prolong the condition of the machine, especially to prevent damage [10].Preventive maintenance factors include monthly routine maintenance with inspection, small repair, medium and overhaul methods.
Routine maintenance needs to be applied and analysed so that conditions do not occur wasting of time and repetitive activities [11].Added by [12] the application of inspection methods, small repairs, medium repairs, and overhauls are suitable methods to be carried out on appropriate technology tools.This is also reinforced by the results of observations and interviews with farmers, that a maintenance process is needed so that the tool can last a long time to be used, not to mention the fruit fly pest attacks which are fairly frequent and occur continuously.
Maintenance is needed on large scale machines or small industrial scale machines [13].Replacement components are needed to prevent damage to a machine [14].It is explained by [15] that making a regular schedule is the solution for this.A similar study was conducted by [16] who made a regular maintenance schedule on the pressing machine to prevent engine damage.
Based on the problems above, the researcher will schedule and implement preventive maintenance on the fruit fly trap so that the condition of the equipment is more optimal in helping chili farmers in Cigebang Village, Subang Regency.The validation process is needed to strengthen the results of the maintenance schedule analysis [17].The schedule is based on the selection of materials and the type of appropriate technology machine used [18].

Schedule
The implementation of a preventive The types of chili plants planted by farmers in Cigebang Village are castelo chilies, euro chilies, and serambi chilies.The quality and quantity of chili crop yields are very much considered at the time of planting to harvest yields with several efforts that have been made such as giving fertilizer to chili plants and controlling pests that attack the chili plants with the aim of getting maximum yields.The fruit fly pest attack in 2021 made the farmers of Cigebang Village experience crop failure.Fruit flies leave eggs that hatch and then become larvae, the larvae damage the chili flesh and make the chili rot [1].The chili becomes rotten and cannot be sold to the market.Damage to chili plants in Cigebang Village farmers due to fruit fly pests.Fruit flies lay their eggs on chilies which cause the fruit to rot and spoil.

Figure 2 shows the steps taken by the research team in the process of making and implementing a maintenance schedule for fruit fly traps.The activity began with observations in Cigebang Village, then the team identified components with the aim of grouping the components of the fruit fly catching tool based on its working system.The schedule plan that has been made will

Validation
Valid Validation is carried out by a lecturer who teaches machine maintenance practice courses at the Subang State Polytechnic campus.The validation results conclude that: (1) the types of methods used are inspection and small repair; (2) monthly maintenance; (3) the schedule instrument is appropriate to be applied or declared valid.
maintenance schedule on fruit fly traps is divided into the preparation and implementation stages of the schedule.Preparation includes preparing personal protective equipment and tools used in the preventive maintenance process.The implementation of the schedule is carried out to create a schedule that focuses on engine performance [19].Added by [on frame manufacturing with a total of 100' Minutes and Small Repair with a total of 80; minutes during a four-month machine maintenance schedule.Meanwhile, the implementation of Inspection on the electrical system with a total of 240 minutes.
