Harvesting, grading and tracking of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) in palm oil estate by using the latest RFID technology to make the harvesting easier and more systematic.
20/Oct/2020
Palm oil harvesting planning activity required a large amount of data for experience accumulation and analysis. The field supervisor needs to ensure the harvester harvest the correct degree of ripe bunches, the harvesting interval on specific trees should be maintained around 10-17 days interval, all harvested fresh fruit bunches (FFB) must be sent to the mill as soon as possible (within 24 hours is ideal). The maximum oil yields can be achieved with maximum harvesting timing with proper planning by using the history records.
The ripeness of the fresh fruit bunches (FFB) normally determined by the fruit collector or checker, in terms of digital information, Autotrack On Demand Fresh Fruit Bunches Tracking will give the guideline for the software user and give a prediction analysis of the harvested FFB. The collected records can be analyzed by the estate manager in order to plan for next fertiliser action and harvesting on the same area or tree.
How to use the software?
Simple and user friendly user interface design by the autotrack team to simplify the fresh fruit bunches tracking, by just clicking to the next concept the fresh fruit bunches (FFB) checker can access to record the collected fruit branch information and the harvester information for the dedicated chonel block. Direct photo capture and touch to RFID card in order to record the FFB information into the RFID tag to simplify the recording.
How to read collected data?
Making use of the RFID technology in agriculture directly improved the productivity and traceability of the fresh fruit bunches (FFB) harvested from the field. This analysis data can be used to remind and educate the harvester as well as checkers in the field in order for them to have a better understanding of the palm oil harvesting process and cycle. The software is also equipped with a camera function where the checker can use it to capture side photos for the estate manager for immediate action required.
