QR code-based herb plant information system at Shah Alam Botanical Park / Nor Atikah Adanan

Quick Response (QR) Code-based information retrieval has been used widely nowadays, regardless in any fields, as one of the methods to reduce the usage of paper. Currently, Taman Botani Shah Alam is using laminated paper-based plant information as a plant signage. This plant information is very limited in term of information richness and durability since it is made from an A4 paper. Therefore, a QR codes should be replaced the current laminated A4 plant information, as this technology is very flexible and can lead the users for richer information. The Taman Botani’s administrator needs to generate the QR code based on the plant information in the system. This QR code will be a new plant signage. Whereas, the user or visitor will use any QR code scanner to scan the QR code and the plant information will be displayed on the phone. More information can be retrieved from the server, if needed by the visitor. The development of the system needs MySQL as a platform to store all the plant information, 000webshost for the website management. The system has been successfully developed, and it is hoped to be implemented in Taman Botani Shah Alam one day.
