Abstract:

Locker Security System for storing goods is essential in public facilities such as at the bus station, airport, mall

or library. Today’s commercially available security locker systems require complex system conﬁgurations that

involve high costs. For that, a more accessible and cheaper alternative is needed. In this study, a locker security

system was created using Arduino-based ﬁngerprint biometrics. The purpose of this study is to improve the

security of lockers in goods storage services and can reduce theft by using ﬁngerprint sensors and RFID

sensors. The research methods in this study include library research, system design, hardware design, and

software design. Based on the results testing both on the hardware and on the software that has been made

and looking at the objectives of the research, it can be summarized as follows: this equipment can be used as

a storage locker for items that have good security.

1 INTRODUCTION

Storage locker is an essential facility in public places

such as stations, shopping centres, libraries, and in

recreational areas, etc. As we know, the quality

of service from luggage storage dramatically affects

the level of satisfaction of consumers (Erziana et al.,

2018; Arta, 2017). Many things can become service

quality standards for goods storage such as in terms of

the safety of goods that we will leave, the accuracy of

returning goods so that there are no swapped goods,

damage to goods and speed in service so as not to

make customers wait or queue (Moskowitz et al.,

2002).

Several lockers in public area still using process

manually. The process is by the sign with paper or a

key that has a number that matches with a locker on

the items we leave. In this case, the consumer can

be harmed if the number he has is taken by someone

else. Then the ofﬁcer is also difﬁcult to remember the

owner of the good who left the locker. The ofﬁcer

on duty is only focused on matching the number

given by the consumer with the number listed in the

locker where the thing is stored (Gangi and Gollapudi,

2013).

With the rapid development of technology, almost

all work done by humans is facilitated with the

support of electronic devices. In the case of storage

of items such as cabinets, drawers, and lockers, many

currently use electronic devices as a support level of

security. The method is carried out, starting from

using passwords, RFID and biometric authentication.

Biometric functions are to recognize physical features

such as voice recognition, eye retinal scans, facial

scans, and ﬁngerprint scans. In order to communicate

several security systems with a variety of tools, a

microcontroller is needed since easily understood and

used by humans. One microcontroller that is widely

used today is Arduino (Siswanto et al., 2017; ARZAF

and V., 2016). From the background above, it was

deemed necessary to build a luggage storage locker

with a ﬁngerprint biometric security system (Patel

et al., 2016).

2 RELATED RESEARCH

Research related to this area is, (Budiharjo and Milah,

2014) proposed a room door security system with

RFID and password using Arduino Uno. The system

is made using RFID sensors and ﬁnger passwords

as input and is processed by the microcontroller to

open solenoids. Then Siswanto et al. (2017) created

a home door lock security system using ﬁngerprint

technology and an Arduino microcontroller.

(Khoirunnufus and Sutanto, 2013) designed a

secure security system based on the Atmega8535

microcontroller. The hardware in the system

consists of a minimum system circuit ATMega8535

microcontroller as a system controller, dc motor

driver circuit which functions to control dc motors to

drive locks on the safe door, a relay driver circuit that

serves to turn on the siren, as well as a power supply

circuit that functions as voltage source.

Then the research of DWI UTOMO ARZAF

(2016), he proposed a security system for goods

storage using microcontroller based RFID and

passwords. This safety deposit box security system

was built with RFID and password sensors based

on the Arduino ATMega 2560 microcontroller that

uses LCD as an information medium. To open the

item storage box, the user must enter a password and

detection of the card, after the password and card are

detected correctly it will be processed on the Arduino

ATmega 2560 microcontroller. Solenoid is used as an

opening and security door closure for the storage box.

3 RESEARCH METHOD

The methodology used in this study is experimental

which is divided into ﬁve steps (Hossain et al., 2016):

• Analysis Phase

Analysis of the security system of the

place-to-keep lockers that are currently still

using manual methods. First, the user goes to

the clerk to register. after that the consumer

will make a payment for the rental fee for the

item storage locker then the ofﬁcer will provide

information on the locker that the consumer

will use along with the locker key.

The solution to dealing with these problems

is the need for a system that can improve

the security system of luggage storage lockers.

Where the process of the user is paid to the

cashier to determine the number of lockers that

will be used. Then the user will scan the

ﬁngerprint which is used as a medium to detect

data from the user. The user data will be stored

in the Arduino controller for the authentication

process if the locker has been used.

• Design system

In this automatic locker design, the main

components consist of Arduino Uno as the

system controller centre, ﬁngerprint sensor and

RFID sensor as input and solenoid as output.

Before designing hardware and software, a

functional block design system is needed in the

form of block diagrams that explain the work

system as in ﬁgure 1.

Figure 1: Hardware scheme locker security system.

In designing the scheme, the device explains the

installation relationship of the device between the

ﬁngerprint sensor, RFID sensor, relay and solenoid

with the microcontroller so that it can be connected

to each other and become a complete system.

After designing a hardware scheme, the next step

is to determine the program logic that will be applied

to the system to be used. Then make coding that will

be implemented on the system. The ﬂowchart of the

system work process ﬂow as shown in Figure 2.

4 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Based on the analysis and design that has been

done, the design of goods storage lockers using this

ﬁngerprint sensor has been realized, it is necessary

to do various tests to ﬁnd out how the device works,

as well as testing based on different ﬁngerprint

and RFID conditions, weaknesses and limitations of

function speciﬁcations. system that has been created.

4.1 Fingerprint Enrolment

This test is done to ﬁnd out whether this ﬁngerprint

sensor can work properly, ﬁrst the test is done with the

author’s ﬁngerprint which is using the thumb ﬁnger

on the left hand, before the testing is done by the

author’s left hand thumbprint has been registered on

the sensor ﬁngerprint

The testing step is to attach the left thumb to

the ﬁngerprint sensor area, after the sensor has

successfully read and identiﬁed the corresponding

ﬁngerprint data, the solenoid that was in a defective

position or closed will be active so that the door can

be opened.

The next step is testing the response of the

ﬁngerprint sensor. After testing it can be concluded

that it takes as long as 5 seconds for the system to

work properly and recognize the ﬁngerprint of the left

hand thumb until the door opens.
