Abstract

This community service program addresses the main challenges at SMK Negeri H. Moenadi Ungaran, specifically the inefficient, manual management of the hydroponic melon irrigation system, relying on the alternating manual operation of water taps, and the limited promotion of the harvest products. This project aims to implement a drip irrigation technology system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance operational efficiency, while simultaneously conducting website management training to expand product promotion and branding. The implementation methodology included in-depth observation, intensive mentoring, hands-on training, the deployment of appropriate technology, and subsequent monitoring and evaluation. The results show a significant increase in participant competency, such as the understanding of IoT-based drip irrigation technology increased from an average of 56% to 92%, and the ability to operate the automated irrigation system improved from 48% to 88%. Furthermore, website management training showed an increase in understanding from 42% to 85%. The implementation of this IoT system not only boosts operational efficiency and crop productivity but also serves as a real-world learning medium for students. The main contribution of this program is the tangible increase in agricultural output and the strengthening of the school's competitiveness in the agribusiness sector through the adoption of modern agricultural technology in the Industry 4.0 era.
