Oil Palm Sorting System of Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) Using Forward Chaining Algorithm

Abstract

Oil palm is the producer of oil and fuel. To get a good quality, it is necessary to sort the fresh oil palm fruit based on the characteristics and criteria of the type of fresh fruit bunches (FFB). This paper aims to carry out the process of sorting the oil palm fruits using the Forward Chaining algorithm to obtain superior quality oil palm fruit based on the characteristics and criteria of fresh oil palm fruit bunches. The sorting phase purpose is to shorten industrial process phase and reduce cost. This sorting mechanism will be developed as a system that can educate oil palm farmers to do sorting before the oil palm goes through the industrial process. The research method uses a forward chaining algorithm by determining 5 criteria and 39 characteristics of fresh oil palm fruit bunches with percentage value determined by using the classical probability calculation. The accuracy of this research is 100%.
