This research develops and tests a forklift robot controlled via an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system using an ESP32 microcontroller and MQTT protocol. Aimed at overcoming the limitations of manual forklifts, the robot enhances warehouse efficiency and reduces human error. The study evaluates the robot's movement control, wheel performance, load capacity, and wireless connectivity across various Android devices and network providers. Testing was conducted over distances of 1 km to 90 km with devices like Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Vivo, using networks such as Indosat, Axis, Telkomsel, and Smartfren. The robot performed various tasks, including moving forward, backward, rotating, and lifting. It successfully lifted loads up to 300 grams, though instability occurred with heavier weights. Connectivity tests showed stable communication and reliable performance across different network conditions. This research highlights the potential of IoT-enabled forklift robots for optimizing material handling, offering safer, more efficient warehouse operations.
