Palm oil industry in Malaysia is one of main contributors of agricultural income in Malaysia. According to the Malaysian Department of Statistics, in 2016, the production of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) from the palm oil industry contributed RM38.5 billion to the overall Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Malaysia [1]. The palm oil industry consists of the processes of planting, farm management, harvesting and processing before the final product, palm oil, is produced at the mill. The management and harvesting processes have been identified as requiring more manpower compared to the other processes. Harnessing the latest technology and through the use of creative innovations, some of the manual work has been automated and less manpower is needed.
