Building Cocoa Traceability System Based on Web Application and QR Code

Abstract

Aceh is one of the cocoa producing provinces in Sumatra, Indonesia. Cocoa production in Aceh Province in 2017 amounted to 39,296 tons / year with a land area of 101,230 Ha (BPS-Statistics Indonesia 2017). The traceability system is a complex system for representing four important components called process, organization, information, and technology (Verdenius 2006). There are two traceability system methods (1) paper-based system and (2) barcode / RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). The purpose of this research is to build a traceability system by utilizing a website and quick responses code so that it can provide information that can be accessed using the internet and the QR code scanner application that can be found on a smartphone. This research was conducted using the system development life cycle (SDLC) method by utilizing primary and secondary data as supporting information to produce an information system in the form of a web application. This web application was developed using a browser, database, local server and a code writing application. There are 4 stages of analysis (1) analysis of functional requirements of the system, (2) analysis of non-functional requirements of the system, (3) analysis of system users and (4) system security analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, the main components needed are the process of input, output, storage and control. All processes are carried out by a work unit consisting of 7 admins. This web application system is registered using domain www.cocoa-trace.com with www.rumahweb.com as hosting.
