Developing a recyclable waste sorting system with IoT technology

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to develop a recyclable waste sorting system with IoT technology, 2) to test the efficiency of the developed system, and 3) to study user acceptance according to the concept of technology acceptance sampling. The target group was third-year students in Industrial Arts at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University. The research tools were: 1) a recycling waste sorting system with IoT technology, 2) an expert evaluation form, and 3) a technology acceptance questionnaire. The statistics used in the research were mean and standard deviation.

           The research results showed that 1) a recycling waste sorting system with IoT technology can control the opening and closing of garbage bins, sorting metal and plastic bottles, informing users of the amount of garbage received, and showing the coordinates of the trash cans through the LINE application 2) the result of 10 rounds of system performance testing found that the system can open-close the garbage bin as well as sorting the types of metals and plastic, along with specifying the number and accurately focusing on the mobile phone. The evaluation results from all 6 experts were at a high level, and 3) the study of user acceptance according to the technology acceptance concept from the sample group was found to be at a high level.
