This article discusses the potential of Industry Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) technologies in revolutionising the oil palm industry by increasing efficiency, productivity, and precision in the
A remote sensing assessment found that oil palm plantations covered at least 19.5 Mha globally in 2019 (Fig. 2), of which an estimated 67.2% were industrial-scale plantings and the
- How efficient are palm oil mills in Malaysia?
- From the study, it was found that palm oil mills in Malaysia are technically efficient. In terms of processing capacity, large mills which have processing capacity more than 20 t/hr are more efficient than small mills. Integrated mills are also technically efficient as compare to non-integrated mills.
- Why is palm oil mill not working at full capacity?
- The palm oil mill experienced few problems of working at full capacity because of the few scenarios they are facing which are due to machines breakdown that create downtime and lack of materials or input supplied to them.
- What factors affect the performance of a palm oil mill?
- While the milling process is well established in the industry, insufficient research and development has been done on analyzing the operational performance of a mill. Factors such as operating time and fruit availability affect the performance of a palm oil mill (e.g., capital, operating and labor costs).
- Can advanced milling technologies reduce palm oil mill effluents?
- Consequently, this study focuses on the adoption of advanced milling technologies in palm oil milling processes due to the high efficiency of these technologies in reducing oil loss and its capacity to reduce palm oil mill effluents (POME), as well as to achieve zero-emission of methane gas [9, 10, 11].
- What data was collected in a palm oil mill?
- The data collected was on the processing hours of the mill. The daily performances of the mill were calculated by dividing the difference of the available and actual processing hours and by looking at the reasons of why the difference exists. Interview session was also done as to understand the process flow and operation in the palm oil mill.
- Does palm oil mill reduce capital cost?
- A palm oil mill case study in Malaysia is used to illustrate the proposed approach. Based on the optimized results, it was found that 37% reduction in capital cost and 49% increase in economic performance is achieved. Meanwhile, the utilization index of the mill during peak season increases from 0.48 to 0.76.
