Improving Rubber Cup Lump Production Process Efficiency Using IoT for Smart Farmers in Thailand

Abstract

This research aims to develop a system to improve rubber cup lumps production by applying the internet of things technology instead of the traditional cup lump production by hand. The developed system was deployed at farmers’ plantation in Surat Thani province, where are fifty-nine volunteers. The result has shown that the accuracy of the developed system is 97.67%. The system evaluation results have shown that the average means are 4.52 and 4.60, which are evaluated by experts and farmers. Besides, the standard deviation of 0.55 was evaluated by experts and 0.49 by farmers. All volunteers have a consistent opinion and are aligned in the same direction at the highest level. Therefore, the developed system based on IoT and sensor devices can improve rubber cup lump production for smart farmers in Thailand.
