ns as it depends on weather conditions, requires 2–3 days, and produces products that are less hygienic and inconsistent in quality. The purpose of this activity is to provide a solution through mentoring and training in the use of the electric emping melinjo dryer (KEPINGJO) so that partners are able to operate the equipment and increase production capacity. The implementation method includes several stages: preparation, technology socialization, training, trials, evaluation, and mentoring. The results show that the partners actively participated and were able to operate the equipment independently. The use of the electric dryer resulted in a reduction from 1 kg to 0.64 kg within 1 hour at a temperature of 55 °C, which is much faster than the traditional drying method that takes 2–3 days. In addition, the moisture content of emping melinjo, initially 29% in the wet condition, decreased to 9.5% after the drying process using the electric dryer. The final product is more hygienic, evenly dried, and has a longer shelf life. The application of the KEPINGJO electric dryer has proven to increase productivity, product quality, and household income while strengthening the role of universities in delivering appropriate technological innovations.

Abstrak: Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilatarbelakangi oleh permasalahan pengeringan emping melinjo di Kecamatan Perbaungan, Kabupaten Serdang Bedagai, yang masih mengandalkan sinar matahari. Metode tersebut memiliki banyak keterbatasan karena bergantung pada cuaca, membutuhkan waktu 2–3 hari, serta menghasilkan produk yang kurang higienis dan tidak seragam. Tujuan kegiatan adalah memberikan solusi melalui pendampingan dan pelatihan penggunaan alat pengering elektrik emping melinjo (KEPINGJO) agar mitra mampu mengoperasikan dan meningkatkan kapasitas produksi. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi tahap persiapan, sosialisasi teknologi, pelatihan, uji coba, serta evaluasi dan pendampingan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan mitra aktif berpartisipasi dan mampu menggunakan alat secara mandiri. Penggunaan alat pengering elektrik memperlihatkan penyusutan dari 1 kg menjadi 0,64 kg dalam waktu 1 jam pada suhu 55 °C, jauh lebih cepat dibanding metode tradisional 2–3 hari. Selain itu, kadar air emping melinjo yang semula sebesar 29% pada kondisi basah menurun menjadi 9,5% setelah proses pengeringan menggunakan alat pengering elektrik. Produk yang dihasilkan lebih higienis, kering merata, dan memiliki daya simpan lebih lama. Penerapan pengering elektrik KEPINGJO terbukti meningkatkan produktivitas, kualitas, serta pendapatan rumah tangga, sekaligus memperkuat kontribusi perguruan tinggi dalam menghadirkan inovasi tepat guna.

Abstract:The Jabal Farm Millennial Taruna Tani Group is located in Kefamenanu City, focusing on freshwater fish farming and agriculture. The conventional fish farming system faces challenges in terms of monitoring pond conditions…
and efficient feeding. One of the main problems faced by the group is the difficulty in maintaining optimal water temperature and quality as well as manual feeding management. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to implement Internet of Things (IoT) technology integrated with an Android application. This technology allows monitoring of pond conditions such as water temperature and pH automatically, as well as periodic fish feeding settings. This community service aims to build IoT-based automatic monitoring tools and systems, as well as provide training and mentoring to members of the Jabal Farm Taruna Tani Group in using IoT technology for fish pond management. The implementation method in this activity uses a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach that emphasizes active community participation in all stages of the activity, from problem identification to evaluation and follow-up. With IoT technology, it is expected that fish pond management patterns will become more modern and efficient. This technology can help improve fish farming performance, reduce risks, and facilitate management, thus having a positive impact on the productivity and welfare of farmers.

Abstrak: Gerakan pramuka merupakan salah satu organisasi besar di Indonesia. Namun kebesaran tersebut berpotensi pudar jika anak muda mulai tidak mengenal gerakan pramuka. Kondisi inilah yang dialami Organisasi Pramuka Ambalan Sunan Kalijaga dan Dewi Masitoh Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 2 Banyumas. Meski keikutsertaannya bersifat wajib namun diisinyalir jumlah yang bertahan di organisasi ini semakin menurun. Gerakan pramuka dinilai kalah populer dibandingkan lainnya. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah belum optimalnya pengelolaan media informasi. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, Pramuka Ambalan Sunan Kalijaga dan Dewi Masitoh MAN 2 Banyumas menggandeng Program Studi Ilmu Komunikasi Universitas Amikom Purwokerto untuk melakukan optimalisasi pengelolaan media inofrmasinya (website, media sosial dan mading) melalui pelatihan komprehensif dengan metode group achievement. Sebuah metode pendampingan yang menekankan upaya membangun produktivitas kelompok dengan mengacu pada input dari anggota kelompok dan pencapaian target output yang disusun bersama antara mitra dan anggota kelompok. Pelatihan yang diadakan tanggal 5 Februari 2022 ini berjalan sukses dengan diikuti oleh lebih dari 39 peserta. Hasil akhir kegiatan ini memperlihatkan mulai terpenuhinya kebutuhan kognisi peserta mengenai pengelolaan media, terbentuknya kemampuan peserta dalam menyusun konten media serta mendistribusikannya dengan tepat, dan terbentuknya komitmen anggota untuk menjaga kontinuitas pengelolaan medianya.
