Smart Mini Closet

Abstract

A wardrobe is one of the pieces of furniture that almost every home has, including dormitories or residential colleges. The wardrobe has a space that functions as a place to store clothes, shoes, valuables and so on. There are many types of wardrobes on the market and they have different designs. However, there are some shortcomings in the closets that are already in the dormitories and also residential colleges. Among the shortcomings found in the closet in the residential college is that there is no safety feature on the closet. This has led to an increase in the loss and theft of personal belongings in hostels and residential colleges. In addition, to lock this closet, you need a key that you bought yourself. Smart Mini Closet is an innovation project that aims to improve the closets in colleges and dormitories by strengthening the security features on the closets and at the same time to reduce thefts that occur in the dormitories. The main material used to develop this Smart Mini Closet is a stainless aluminum plate to be used as a wardrobe frame, a fingerprint scanner, a hydraulic actuator and also a sensor. The operational testing discussed proves that this cupboard can make it easier for students at the same time the safety of the items can be guaranteed. This is because this Smart Mini Closet uses a fingerprint scanner as a security feature and can only be opened by the student. Students don't have to worry if they forget to close the cupboard. This is because this cupboard combines a sensor and also a hydraulic actuator that can open and close the door automatically. This closet will close automatically if it detects that no one is in front of it. This finding proves that this Smart Mini Closet can reduce the rate of theft cases and also make it easier for students compared to existing closets.
