    • Abstract:
      This research aimed to design a cleaning machine for ornamental fish containers that consider customer needs and Indonesian body postures. A good machine design fulfilled customer needs and did not cause side effects, such as musculoskeletal disorders. The Maritime and Fisheries Ministry encouraged decorative fish cultivation programs to improve Indonesia's economy. This program was supported by fisheries research policy on strengthening innovation technology to support Maritimes and Fisheries sustainable development. The container's cleanliness is one of the requirements for the success of ornamental fish cultivation. Therefore, keeping the cleanliness of the fish container is needed. This study aimed to design a cleaning machine using ergonomic principles and customer needs gained from Kansei Engineering. The results from Kansei Engineering were realized on machine features such as brush cleaner, stainless and iron as a material, automatic controller, and electric power supply. RULA was used to analyze the ergonomic factor of cleaner machine design. From Catia Software, the simulation of operator position to the machine form angles: arm 19˚; forearm 65˚; spin forearm 138˚; whole spin 17˚; head 1˚; lumbar 12˚; and thoracic 3˚. It gained a RULA score of two, which means the design was good enough based on ergonomic measurements to avoid musculoskeletal disorder risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
