QR Code System for Plant Identification at Raden Intan Lampung State Islamic University

Abstract

The Raden Intan Lampung State Islamic University, recognized as the 8th Most Sustainable University in Indonesia, is notable for its verdant campus characterized by lush and well-preserved vegetation. Despite this, there exists a significant gap in student and visitor awareness regarding the campus’s diverse plant species. This study aims to bridge this knowledge gap by facilitating rapid and accessible plant identification through a novel system. Conducted within the university’s premises in Bandar Lampung, Lampung Province, the research utilized the Diffusion of Science and Technology (IPTEK) methodology. The developed system integrates QR Code technology with a web-based interface. When a QR Code associated with a plant is scanned using a smartphone scanner, it redirects the user to a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that leads to a webpage containing detailed information about the plant. Testing outcomes indicate that the system operates effectively, aligning with its intended purpose and significantly aiding students in acquiring information about campus flora.
