ABSTRACT

It is known to the world that the technology is growing rapidly and it is now dominating the world
in the aspect of products and services. This makes everything operate fully automated and most
industries nowadays are no longer using manual operation on services and production as this
was done to meet the goal of implementing Industry 4.0. This project involved constructing and
upgrading existed boom gate to Automated Boom Gate System. This is the full documentation on
the project of Automated Boom Gate System which used database. Normal system normally does
not used database to store data and information of residents and visitors. By using the database,
the data and information of the residents and visitors can be access easily. Throughout this whole
project, it was concluded that with a good amount of practice, the smart and secured systems that
, .
was used for this project would be able to be marketed worldwide despite the high cost for real
life implementation.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

Every diploma student in German-Malaysian Institute is required to execute the Final Year
Project as a subject that need lo be evaluate before graduating. The main objective for this Final
Year Project needs to be done is to implement every single thing have been studied and learned
during the semesters period in German-Malaysia Institute. The knowledges and skills that have
been obtained are applied on the project in order for the project be created, upgraded and
,. innovate the processes of a product or system that already existed. This project which is
Automated Boom Gate System is to integrate and also apply various aspects of fundamentals of
electrical pr inciple, electronics along with the knowledge of facilities and building automation
system to invent and build this automated boom gate system. This project will be using database
and the boom gate can be control through smart phone. This project applied the Industry 4.0
system. This project strives to upgrade the security system For the existed boom gate in Malaysia
:o be more smart and secure in order to achieve the goal in making Malaysia be one of the best
:echnologies country.

In order to make this project successfully and a well function system skills, knowledge and
creativity of every group member are very important. This project focused more on the system of
the boom gate that have been improved from the existed system that are currently not too smart
and secured. The skills that are needed to complete this project are programming, electrical
ristallation and designing the project by using SolidWorks and for the electrical design using
.!\utoCAD. Other than that, the knowledge that needed for this project is on how the database
generally work and basic understanding on how to operate the boom gate through smart phone
-:,y using app called Blynk.

This project will give the opportunity to investigate more about boom gate system through
Qnmary and secondary sources. For primary sources team members need to get through subject
'llaiter experts and information through internet for the secondary sources. This project could give
/ . :ne chance io prove on the individual creativity and originality and also solving the problem that
exist. It also allows to gain more knowledge and skills that never been experience before. This
.:Wtomated Boom Gate System is intended to be implemented in residential areas or any car
=arks area.

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

Boom gate are widely used in the whole world. Boom gate or also known as boom barrier
are strongly used at building, residential, and car park areas. This project focused more on
residential area with boom gate to make the system work and to be more automated. Other
than residential area, the boom gate system also usually used in every car park area. Boom
gate that existed have many problems that need to be solved especially in the aspect of:

1) Visitors does not need valid pass to access through

,. Most residential area in Malaysia are still lack in term of security. Visitors or outsider can pass
through to the residential area without any registration or access. This situation can increase
the rate of crimes because of the security system is low.

2) Control boom gate manually to bypass

Boom gate that existed nowadays still using the push button to open and close for the car
pass through the boom gate. This shows that the system is not smart enough because the
boom gate can't be control automatically.

3) No website for visitors to register information and personal data

Based on the investigation, most of the boom gate system does not have website for visitors
to register information and personal data. The information of the owner and visitor are very
important in case of emergency so without visitor's data the boom gate is lack in term of
security.

1.3 PROJECT OBJECTIVE

In this technologies era, boom gate system is an important system that used for security
purposes at car park area and also residential area. This system can ensure the securities
within the residential area is strengthen so that no trespassers or any unregistered driver
entering the residential area without a valid pass. Every visitor's need to register their
information before they are given a pin code number that need to be insert in a keypad
reader to pass through. This system maybe has been used around the world but not all of
them used database and also automatically control. Some upgrades can be made to
overcome the disadvantages when using this system.
, .
Automated boom gate system has grown wide all around the world and this project
is a good system. But obviously, the boom gate needs more development and
improvement. Below are the objectives of the project.

1. To allow resident to enter the residential area by using access card, while for
visitors they use pin code number that allow the visitors to stay for a short time or
overnight.

So, the resident permanently can access the residential area by using the access card or
tag anytime. Meanwhile visitors must register their information through website to get the
pin code number to get in.

2. To open and close the boom gate through smart phone.

The boom gate can be control through smart phone by using app called Blynk. This
process usually used for maintenance and if there is an emergency.

3. To create a website for visitors so that they can register their information to get a
pin code.
Visitors need to access a website that have been created lo register personal information
for security purpose. After all of the information have been submitted, visitors will get a pin
,.
code that need to be insert in the keypad and the boom gate will open. Visitors can also
scan a QR code that will automatically direct to the website link.
