This engineering practice project is designed to improve energy efficiency by modernizing the drying process in the 19-liter gallon packaging line within a Bottled Drinking Water (AMDK) facility. Traditionally, the drying system operated by continuously releasing compressed air at high pressure, regardless of whether a product was present, leading to substantial energy waste. To mitigate this inefficiency, a low-cost automation system was deployed, integrating inductive proximity sensors with pneumatic solenoid valves. These components enable airflow to be activated only when a gallon is detected at the drying station, thereby eliminating unnecessary energy discharge. Quantitative evaluations reveal that this system effectively reduces compressor operating hours and lowers daily energy consumption. The monthly cost savings amount to IDR 3,070,553, equivalent to annual savings of approximately IDR 36,846,640. The system requires minimal capital investment, with a calculated payback period of less than 24 hours. In addition to its financial benefits, the solution promotes operational reliability, reduces compressor wear, and aligns with sustainable industrial practices. Its simplicity and affordability make it highly replicable for similar pneumatic systems across various manufacturing settings.
