Abstract

Height and weight measurement tools are one of the important measurement tools used to monitor
the health status of the Navy personnel periodically every six months through the URIKES program, with
a comparison between height and weight later this will be known to the health status of soldiers in the
underweight category , Normal, Overweight and Obesity. With this monitored health status, it is hoped
that Indonesian Navy soldiers will not be constrained by health problems in carrying out their duties or
training and can assist leaders in determining policies. In this final project, a system will be designed to
make it easier and faster to measure height and weight automatically using the Sharp sensor as a height
gauge and the Load Cell sensor as a weight gauge. The output of this measuring device is in the form of
display on a PC monitor and can be uploaded then the data can be stored on the server, so it can be
accessed via Android. This tool is expected to later be used as a substitute for measuring height and
weight that is still manual.
Keywords: URIKES, underweight, Normal, Overweight, Obesity, Sharp Sensor, Load Cell Sensor and
