Traditional tuba harvesting in the Philippines requires a lot of processes that requires a lot of man power and had the issue in sanitary because of the exposure in the outside environment. This study aims to provide an innovative solution for efficient and safe tuba collection while monitoring the condition of the harvesting process. The device features a sensor-based monitoring system to detect tuba levels and environmental factors, notifying users of relevant data through LED indicators and SMS alerts. The project utilizes an Arduino Nano to manage operations, interface with sensors, and execute multiple tasks simultaneously Key components include a liquid level sensor to track the volume of collected tuba, ensuring proper harvesting levels. The system operates on a sustainable power supply, using a solar panel, rechargeable battery, and solar charge controller to avoid overcharging. The device was fabricated using SS304 stainless steel which are the standard materials for food grade application. The evaluation on the performance of the developed prototype is based on the 6 criteria namely: functionality, aesthetics, workability, durability, economy, and safety. The evaluation resulted in overall mean of 4.36 with a descriptive rating of “Very Acceptable”. Based on the evaluation and findings, this study can potentially help the Tuba farming industry become more efficient, low risk and higher quality of production.
