Development of a Relative Capacitance Sensor for Oil Palm Fruit Maturity Classification: A Systems Engineering Approach

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceedingConference and proceedingspeer-review

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a relative capacitance sensor for the classification of oil palm fruit maturity, using a systems engineering approach. This sensor is based on capacitive sensing technologies that require integration to productive processes as data sources. Systems engineering is suited for the development of complex systems based primarily on novel sensing technology that requires integration at the component, subsystem, and system levels. The goal is to provide a reliable and efficient method for assessing the maturity of fruit bunches, both in the harvest phase and in the production phase, which can ultimately contribute to improving the quality and yield of palm oil production. This study seeks to advance the frontier of precision agriculture and increase the efficacy of contemporary agricultural practices.
