PENINGKATAN EFISIENSI DAN KUALITAS PRODUKSI BLACK GARLIC PADA UMKM DE PAITON MELALUI PENGEMBANGAN TEKNOLOGI FERMENTASI BERBASIS IOT

Abstract

The goal of this program is to increase the income of UMKM partners through high-value-added products (economic) by utilizing IoT technology and improving partner financial management with a digital bookkeeping application. The main problem in the black garlic production stage is the fermentation process, which still uses a rice cooker. The use of a rice cooker in the black garlic fermentation stage limits production, accommodating only 1-3 kg of garlic per session, and requires a longer fermentation time (14-40 days). The small capacity and long production time make it difficult to meet large market demand. Management challenges include manual and rudimentary bookkeeping. This is due to a lack of bookkeeping knowledge and partners finding it difficult. The result of this community service is that after using a fermentation machine with IoT technology, black garlic production capacity has increased. In terms of financial records, bookkeeping quality has improved after using digital bookkeeping.
