Abstract

This collaborative project with Novaflow Engineering Sdn. Bhd. aims to overcome the limitations of the current mobile application used for monitoring palm oil mill (POM) processes. The existing system faces challenges in terms of viewing the real-time data and receiving alarm notifications, which affect operational efficiency and safety. The proposed solution for this project involves designing and developing a cross-platform mobile application that shall provide a visual representation of the POM process layout. The application shall display real-time data updates, alarm notifications for critical conditions, and improvements in the user interface for enhanced usability. Additionally, filtering graph features is added to facilitate easy data analysis and comparison. The system also integrates with Influx DB, the database currently used by the company to store data. The proposed solution ensures more efficient monitoring, enhanced safety, and improved operational performance. In conclusion, the project delivers a practical and efficient solution that meets the operational needs of Novaflow Engineering and provides a robust, cross-platform application to support ongoing improvements in the company’s POM operations.
