Penarukan Village, located in Tabanan Regency, is predominantly inhabited by communities engaged in freshwater fish farming, particularly Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The high demand for Nile tilapia in Tabanan and surrounding areas poses a challenge for farmers to manage the growth and development of the fish to ensure optimal quality. During the cultivation process, various issues arise that require effective solutions to support the sustainability of this sector. One of the main problems faced by fish farmers is related to the quality of biofloc pond water, which is still monitored using conventional methods. Poor water quality that does not meet the optimal living standards for Nile tilapia can hinder growth, reduce fish health, and negatively impact production yield. Manual monitoring methods are also prone to inaccuracy and complicate the data analysis process needed for effective decision-making.To address this issue, a technology-based solution has been proposed in the form of a real-time monitoring system using the “SI-NILA” mobile application integrated with a microcontroller-based Internet of Things (IoT) system. This system allows for continuous monitoring of pond water quality and automated pH control to maintain suitable conditions for fish growth. This innovation is expected to improve efficiency and effectiveness in fish farming practices, minimize the risk of crop failure, and promote the digital transformation of aquaculture in Penarukan Village, contributing to the sustainable development of the freshwater aquaculture sector.

The increase in online buying and selling due to government appeals during the Covid-19 pandemic has created a new habit in society, which also serves to reduce physical contact and prevent the spread of the virus. However, with the increase in delivery of goods, challenges arise in maintaining the cleanliness and safety of received packages. To address this, a smart package receiving system was developed that features automatic sterilization using ultraviolet (UV) lights and disinfectant spraying on incoming packages. This system aims to prevent the transmission of viruses that may be attached to the package. In addition, the system helps monitor and secure packages, especially when the owner is not at home. The system uses a microcontroller as the control center, equipped with an ESP32-CAM camera to document photos of the sender, as well as an ultrasonic sensor to detect whether the package is in the box or not. The process starts when the courier presses the “there is a package” button, which sends an OTP code to the receiver's Telegram. The courier enters the OTP code, places the package in the box, and closes it. After that, the UV lamp turns on for sterilization, the ESP32-CAM photographs the package, and the ultrasonic sensor detects the package status. If the package is detected, a photo notification of the sender is sent to Telegram, informing the recipient that the package is ready for pickup.
