Mobile Application Design of Embedded Weighbridge System for Palm Oil Industry

Weighbridges are tools for determining plant productivity in the palm oil industry. Weighbridge is an embedded system that is connected to the computer via the RS-232 port. Used to measure the weight of products like CPO (Crude Palm Oil), Kernel and Shell. Some problems caused by weighbridges system in Palm Oil Industry such as incorrect of Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) suppliers are often occurring, then incorrect selection of the FFB area, not saving weighing data, incorrect entry of the FFB sorting data, and incorrect selection of the sales contract. Therefore, the aim of the development is a more optimal system for solving these five problems and increasing the accuracy of the weighbridge. The research methodology used is the system development life cycle using a prototype model because it is more flexible and active, so that users can see, feel, and experience the development process, and repair errors relatively quickly. The results of the development of this system are systems designed to be more efficient by developing systems with application concepts that are connected to local network connections, so that one stage of the process can be combined with other processes and data can be interconnected between one process and another.
