Medical waste separation is a crucial issue in Indonesia, because of the potential dangers it poses, such as the risk of spreading diseases and environmental pollution. This research aims to make innovations in solid medical waste sorting systems, to sort waste automatically using Inductive Proximity sensors and Radio Frequency Identification RFID. The results of the inductive proximity sensor test are able to accurately detect metal medical waste with an average detection time of 117.5 ms. RFID is also able to read ID cards accurately. The system offers innovative solutions to improve occupational safety and sustainable separation of solid medical waste.
