Fresh fruit bunch sorting process palm oil (FFB) in palm oil mills still uses manual methods and relies on harvesters or graders, therefore a smart machine vision tool was created based on multispectral imaging for sorting and grading oil palm fresh fruit bunches. This tool functions as a sorting tool for fresh oil palm fruit bunches. This tool is designed for a sorting system based on mass ≤ 5kg as well as mechanisms and working systems of mechanical controls on sorting tools. Oil palm fresh fruit bunches are weighed using the load cell in the sorter, and then the results of the FFB weight reading on the load cell will be aligned using other digital scales that have been calibrated using the linear regression method. Regression equation results from 15 FFB samples were obtained, yielding an increased coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.99. Therefore, a schematic design of the microcontroller control system will be obtained as well as the mechanism and working system of mechanical control on the palm fruit sorting tool based on mass.
