Efficient Oil Palm Management Prototyping Using 3D GIS For Replanting Program

Felda Agricultural Services Sdn. Bhd. (FASSB),

Plantation of oil palm (Oil palm plantation) is important industry in Malaysia in terms of economy and source of main supply of vegetable oil. The industry is one of the most highly organized sectors but current plantation method especially in replanting aspects are less inefficient, does not utilize latest spatial data and leads to loss of productivity due to not optimizing on the best layout of the plantation. The prototype is important for replanting team to plan an accurate replanting activity at the respective plan area. With a proper planning, the cost, time and human resources can be planned according to the expected replanting schedule and budgetted costs. If the prototype is successful, it has potential to save cost, time & human resource for those replanting activities. The purposes of this prototype are;

• 1) To improve the conventional replanting methods by using current state of the art methods of terrain representation.
• 2) To compare the conventional method of oil palm replanting planning process with the new 3D GIS & remote sensing technique.
• 3) To create digital 3D database for efficient representations of the plantation.
