FINAL YEAR PROJECT

 In week 5, I presented the scoped of project, limitation of project and synopsis of the project. The scope of this project is to create a system where the system will the collect data of the fruits’ crops, which are eggplant, lady finger and cucumber. As for the limitation, since the project is a collaboration with Agrovoltec, the farm are 2 hectare and above. Therefore the main limitation of this project is the lack of the internet connectivity of the certain area made it more challenging.   The synopsis are same as the FYP title registration, which is: "IoT based fertigation system is a type of irrigation system that is mixed with water-soluble fertilizers and distributed evenly through irrigation system by drip method. The system will be integrated with IoT (Internet of Things), where the parameters of crops will be monitored and controlled from websites via sensors, microcontroller, valve, and pumps. The system will automatically execute the output, where t...

In week 4, the previous task which is project background, problem statement and objective were presented to Ts. Dr. Izanoordina.  I presented the project background with a few of statistics regarding the demands of agriculture in Malaysia and a brief of devices and components that will be used in this project. For example: "The production of vegetables in Malaysia showed an increase of 0.9 per cent in 2020 with Pahang remained the highest producer with a contribution of 35.1 per cent, followed by Johor (20.2%) and Kelantan (12.5%). Meanwhile, fruit production decreased by 0.7 per cent during the same period. Johor was the highest producer state of fruit in Malaysia with a contribution of 36.0 per cent, followed by Pahang (13.0%) and Sarawak (11.2%)" The problem statement are derive from a few research on past research papers and journal in research gate. Therefore, the problem statements for my project are time costing, high human resources and no real-time data on crops cond...

In week 3, students are required to register the FYP title. Thus, students need to prepare a synopsis and objective of the FYP project. I have submitted mine in pdf form as per below: Name : Balqis binti Budiman Student ID. : 51221220013 FYP Title : Development of IoT based fertigation system in agriculture Synopsis : IoT based fertigation system is a type of irrigation system that is mixed with water-soluble fertilizers and distributed evenly through irrigation system by drip method. The system will be integrated with IoT (Internet of Things), where the parameters of crops will be monitored and controlled from websites via sensors, microcontroller, valve, and pumps. The system will automatically execute the output, where the quantity and ration of water-soluble fertilizers will be mixed in a mixed tank with water and then distributed evenly to the soil...

In week 2, there are few discussions on my FYP1 title. Since the project under Ts. Dr. Izanoordina and the project is a collaboration with other company which is Agrovoltech, a modern farmer in Malaysia. Ts. Dr. Izanoordina told me to make the title more general and focus on one scope of system. Thus, after a few discussions, we came to conclusion to change the title to "Development of IoT based Fertigation System in Agriculture". The FYP briefing also done in the same week. The briefing explained the important date for FYP and the FYP Calendar for this semester.
