  • What is farm mechanisation in oil palm plantations?
  • In oil palm plantations, farm mechanisation has been a continuous effort contributed by various research agencies and institutions such as universities. Throughout the years, variety of research products have been innovated to fit various types of plantations, topographies and activities.
  • Can a robotic system automate the harvesting process of oil palm plantation?
  • A robotic system in automating the harvesting process of the oil palm FFB is proposed to further enhance the development of harvesting technologies and solve the existing problems. The technological challenges for developing this robotic system are discussed as follows. Dificulty of a mobile robot to manoeuvre autonomously in oil palm plantation.
  • Are oil palm plantations using Technovation tools?
  • According to a case study at three oil palm plantations in Malaysia, all three companies are using technovation tools, although not comprehensively. Workers continue to use either manual or traditional tools.
  • How to automate oil palm harvesting?
  • This robot was automate using computer control system namely: Hydraulic Simulation Software (Hydraulsim) and Genie Software. Research progressed to the development of end effectors namely the cutter to harvest the oil palm FFB and the use of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) as the controller to automate the process of harvesting.
  • Why do oil palm plantations need manual harvesting?
  • Most oil palm plantations have uneven terrain, which is usually located in rough and sloping areas (Sowat et al., 2018). Therefore, accessibility by workers to the oil palm plantation is the biggest factor limiting the use of mechanised harvesting equipment. Therefore, manual labour harvesting is still regarded as the most efective choice.
  • Are semi-mechanised tools better for palm oil harvesting?
  • To solve the issues related to manual harvesting, semi-mechanised tools are developed which are more economical and eficient. The Cantas motorized cutter was developed by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), capable of harvesting FFB at 4.5 - 6.0 m in height (Zahid and Firdaus, 2018).
