Abstract
The purpose of this research is to make a tool that can sort goods automatically into the warehouse using RFID technology by combining Arduino and PLC as the controller and the number of items that have been sorted can be monitored remotely by using the Internet of Things (IoT). By identifying the items using RFID makes work more concise and efficient. This research uses an experimental method. The automatic sorting system uses an RFID reader to read ID cards that have been installed on the goods side, The ID cards is processed into Modbus data to be sent to the PLC Siemens S7-1200 via Ethernet Shield that is connected to the Arduino Mega 2560. The PLC will process that data and turn on the pneumatic cylinder to select items to be placed on each conveyor. The PLC data will send to the cloud through Arduino with using the MQTT protocol. The results of this study showed that the system can work automatically in the selection of goods and can monitor the process of its work system on the GOIOT platform via the internet network.
