Abstract

Purpose – This study aimed to develop and evaluate an ESP32-based motor-balancing prototype for Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) transportation using crawler and loader wheel modes to address inefficiencies in manual FFB transportation on uneven plantation terrains.Methods – A prototype development approach was employed, consisting of problem identification, system requirement analysis, mechanical and electronic design, component testing, prototype assembly, and performance evaluation. The prototype integrated an ESP32 microcontroller, HC-12 wireless communication modules, an L298N motor driver, DC motors, a power supply system, and a substitute load container. Performance evaluation included basic movement testing, HC-12 wireless communication testing, terrain adaptability testing on simulated muddy and rocky surfaces, and load-carrying testing using substitute loads ranging from 500 to 2000 g.Findings – The developed prototype successfully executed forward, backward, left turn, right turn, and stop commands with a 100% success rate during repeated laboratory testing. Stable wireless communication was maintained up to 20 m using HC-12 modules, while the crawler and loader wheel configurations demonstrated stable mobility on simulated muddy and rocky terrains. The prototype successfully transported substitute loads of up to 1500 g, whereas a 2000 g load exceeded the available motor torque.Research implications – The prototype was evaluated only under laboratory conditions using simulated terrains and substitute loads. Therefore, further validation under actual plantation environments and with real Fresh Fruit Bunches is required before practical deployment.Originality – This study presents a laboratory-scale ESP32-based motor-balancing transportation prototype that integrates HC-12 wireless communication and interchangeable crawler-loader wheel modes into a single platform specifically designed for Fresh Fruit Bunch transportation in oil palm plantations.

Abstract

Purpose – Manual palm oil harvest recording at remote plantations often causes transcription errors, duplicate records, delayed reporting, and difficulties in implementing fully online data collection because of unstable Internet connectivity. This study aimed to design and develop an Android-based palm oil harvest recording information system using Quick Response (QR) Code identification and an offline-first data architecture. Methods – This study employed a Research and Development approach using the Rapid Application Development model. Data were collected through field observations, interviews with five foremen and one administrative staff member, documentation reviews, and functional system testing. The application was developed using Android Studio and Flutter, with SQLite for local offline storage and Firebase Cloud Firestore for online data synchronization. Findings – The developed system enables QR Code-based worker identification, harvest data input, offline data storage, automatic synchronization, digital signature validation, activity-log monitoring, and report export. Black-box testing of seven functional scenarios showed that all tested features operated correctly in both offline and online conditions. Research implications – The findings indicate that an offline-first mobile architecture can support harvest recording in plantation areas with limited connectivity and low-cost devices. However, the system was tested in one plantation environment; therefore, broader implementation requires further multisite evaluation. Originality – This study contributes by integrating QR Code identification, SQLite-based offline persistence, Firebase synchronization, and Android-based field reporting into a single harvest recording system for remote palm oil plantation operations.

Abstract

This study developed an Internet of Things (IoT)-based soil moisture monitoring and automatic irrigation system for oil palm seedlings in the main nursery using an ESP32 microcontroller and a YL-69 soil moisture sensor. The proposed system integrates a relay module, a water pump, and the Blynk Cloud platform to provide real-time soil moisture monitoring, threshold-based automatic irrigation, and cloud-based remote monitoring within a single IoT platform. A prototype-based development approach consisting of problem identification, system design, implementation, testing, and evaluation was employed. Experimental evaluation conducted over a four-week period demonstrated that the developed prototype successfully differentiated dry, moist, and wet soil conditions, transmitted soil moisture data to the Blynk dashboard through a Wi-Fi connection in real time, automatically controlled irrigation based on a predefined soil moisture threshold, and maintained an average daily irrigation volume of 498.75 mL. The system also implemented a consecutive-reading confirmation mechanism to improve operational stability by reducing unnecessary relay switching caused by temporary sensor fluctuations. These findings indicate that the proposed system successfully integrates real-time soil moisture monitoring, threshold-based automatic irrigation, and cloud-based remote monitoring into a single IoT platform for supporting automated irrigation management of oil palm seedlings in the main nursery.

Abstract

Perkebunan kelapa sawit merupakan salah satu sektor strategis yang berperan penting dalam mendukung perekonomian nasional. Namun, pengelolaan lahan oleh kelompok tani masih menghadapi berbagai kendala, salah satunya adalah keterbatasan dalam memantau kondisi kelembaban tanah secara berkala sehingga penyiraman dan pengelolaan tanaman belum dilakukan secara optimal. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan kelompok tani kelapa sawit dalam memanfaatkan teknologi Smart Plantation berbasis Internet of Things (IoT) menggunakan mikrokontroler ESP32 sebagai sistem monitoring kelembaban tanah secara real-time. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi tahap identifikasi kebutuhan mitra, sosialisasi konsep Smart Plantation dan IoT, pelatihan perakitan perangkat ESP32 yang terintegrasi dengan sensor kelembaban tanah, praktik penggunaan sistem monitoring, serta evaluasi pemahaman peserta melalui diskusi dan demonstrasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa peserta mampu memahami konsep dasar IoT, mengoperasikan sistem monitoring kelembaban tanah berbasis ESP32, serta menyadari pentingnya penerapan teknologi digital dalam mendukung pengelolaan perkebunan kelapa sawit yang lebih efektif, efisien, dan berkelanjutan. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat mendorong transformasi digital pada sektor perkebunan melalui penerapan teknologi Smart Plantation yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan kelompok tani.
