Enhancing Operational Efficiency in Energy Monitoring and Control: A Fuzzy Logic Approach at PT. Akebono Brake Astra Indonesia

PT Akebono Brake Astra Indonesia faces energy efficiency challenges due to the use of 68 AC units in various rooms. The main issue is inefficient energy management, exacerbated by employee negligence in turning off the air conditioners when unnecessary. This leads to manual checks consuming high man-hours. Initial observations highlight the need for integrated systems to monitor and control energy usage. To address this, a prototype using fuzzy logic for integrated energy monitoring and control is developed. The fuzzy logic approach is chosen for its suitability in decision-making amid uncertainty and in machine control with multiple input variables. The study aims to analyze the application of fuzzy logic at PT Akebono Brake Astra Indonesia. The process involves in-depth communication to understand system requirements, followed by prototype design for operational clarity. The results indicate that fuzzy logic is effective, reducing total AC energy control time by 108 minutes. This method enhances process efficiency in manufacturing operations, aligning with the concept of a sustainable industry.
