Abstract

Humidity measurement is vital across various sectors, such as agriculture, meteorology, industry, and households, where accurate monitoring ensures product quality, environmental stability, and process efficiency. Over time, humidity measurement technologies have evolved significantly, transitioning from basic evaporation-based methods to advanced electronic sensors like capacitive and resistive sensors, which offer real-time accuracy. Hygrometers and moisture meters are key devices in this field, with hygrometers measuring air humidity and moisture meters assessing water content in materials like soil, wood, and grains. Their integration with automation systems further enhances operational efficiency and simplifies environmental monitoring. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, including the need for higher accuracy, adaptability to diverse environments, and cost reduction. Research and development continue to tackle these issues, driving innovation toward more reliable, user-friendly, and affordable solutions. This article reviews the latest advancements in humidity measurement technologies, highlights the challenges faced, and explores future innovations that promise to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of these devices. Such progress is crucial for sustainability and improved performance in fields dependent on precise humidity data, ultimately supporting better decision-making and resource management.

Abstract

The health of oil palm plants can be visually assessed through changes in leaf color, which reflect the plant's physiological condition. Leaf color serves as a critical, non-destructive indicator for evaluating plant health. This study aims to develop an innovative method for detecting oil palm leaf health using MATLAB-based digital image processing techniques. The process begins with leaf image acquisition, followed by pre-processing to enhance image quality, and then color space conversion from RGB to HSV. The analysis focuses on the Hue and Saturation components, which represent the leaf's color tone and intensity. Two sample images—healthy and unhealthy leaves—are compared. The results demonstrate that healthy leaves exhibit higher average Hue and Saturation values compared to unhealthy ones, providing a key parameter for automated leaf condition classification. This study introduces a cost-effective system adaptable for small-scale farmers' plantations, offering an effective, efficient, and economical solution. This approach shows significant potential for implementation in automated plant health monitoring systems and further development for precision agriculture, particularly in oil palm plantations, to enhance productivity and sustainability in modern agriculture.

Abstract

Background: Palm oil is one of the key commodities in both the food and non-food industries, with its quality largely influenced by the level of Free Fatty Acid (FFA). Obejctive: High FFA content can reduce the stability and market value of the oil. Classify palm oil quality based on FFA levels using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. Methods: FFA levels were measured across multiple samples with varying usage frequencies (0, 5, 7, and 9 cycles) using the alkalimetric titration method. The measured data was categorized as "Suitable" if FFA ≤ 0.3% and "Unsuitable" if it exceeded this threshold. The developed SVM model was trained using 70% of the data and tested with the remaining 30%. Results: Evaluation results indicate that the model achieved an accuracy of 95%, a precision of 92%, and a recall of 94%, demonstrating SVM's effectiveness in classifying data. Additionally, hyperplane visualization using PCA provided a clearer distinction between oil categories based on FFA levels. Conclusion: This study highlights that SVM can serve as an effective alternative for FFA-based palm oil quality classification. The implementation of this model is expected to enhance efficiency in the palm oil industry, particularly.

Abstract

One of the products that are widely found and in demand in the community is soap. This product can be made as an added value from people's palm oil activities. Community service activities were carried out in the Desa Paya Bagas, Kecamatan Tebing Tinggi Kabupaten Serdang Bedagai, provinsi Sumatera Utara pada Ikatan Keluarga Besar Istri (IKBI) PT. Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional 1 Rambutan Palm Oil Factory. The purpose of this activity is to provide knowledge, insight and technical skills in order to utilize palm oil to become a soap product that can be used for household needs or as a micro and small business effort. Community service initiatives that involve counseling, socialization, and education on empowering strategies through training in soap making demonstrations can be the answer. This community service activity is carried out consisting of a preparation stage consisting of a survey of completeness and preparation, socialization and education and implementation of community service activities by ITSI lecturers and students. The results of this community service activity are able to educate the community in soap making training. Salah satu produk yang banyak dijumpai dan diminati di masyarakat adalah sabun. Produk ini dapat dibuat sebagai addedd value dari kegiatan sawit rakyat. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dilaksanakan di daerah Desa Paya Bagas, Kecamatan Tebing Tinggi, Kabupaten Serdang Bedagai, Provinsi Sumatera Utara pada Ikatan Keluarga Besar Istri (IKBI) PT. Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional 1 Pabrik Kelapa Sawit Rambutan. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pengetahuan, wawasan, serta keterampilan teknis kepada masyarakat agar mampu mengolah kelapa sawit menjadi produk sabun yang layak digunakan untuk keperluan rumah tangga maupun sebagai modal usaha mikro dan kecil. Solusi yang dapat diberikan yaitu kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat berupa metode penyuluhan, sosialisasi dan edukasi terkait teknis pemberdayaan melalui pelatihan demonstrasi pembuatan sabun. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dilaksanakan terdiri dari tahap persiapan yang terdiri atas survei kelengkapan dan preparasi, sosialisasi serta edukasi dan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh civitas akademik Institut Teknologi Sawit Indonesia (ITSI) yaitu dosen dan mahasiswa ITSI. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat mampu mengedukasi masyarakat dalam pelatihan pembuatan sabun.
