1.INTRODUCTION :
The agriculture-based economy has undergone a significant transformation in the Malaysian economy where the agricultural sector has moved towards the status of an industrialized country rapidly. However, there are several challenges that threaten the ability to achieve this industrial status, namely the level of available technological advancements as well as the production efficiency. Malaysia has a tropical climate and monsoon seasons. With unpredictable weather conditions, it can affect the agricultural sector. Modern farming aims to improve crop production, quality, and efficiency. Based on the Ministry of Agriculture Malaysia (MoA) mission, the intention is to transform this agriculture sector into the modern sector and become more competitive as the world-leading food and agriculture sector.
The Human Machine Interface(HMI)is the platform for humans to communicating with machines. HMI commonly used in the process industry because it can allow users to interact with machines, devices or systems [14]. HMI can provide a centralized monitoring and control system for different input and output parameters of the process [15].HMI can provide a color graphical display to make it more attractive and user friendly. GUI and HMI are almost similar but not synonymous because GUI is frequently leverage for visualization capabilities within HMI. Besides that, HMI can be connected to any microcontroller such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Programmable Logic Control (PLC), and input or output sensor so the data can be display to the user for monitoring or controlling. HMI screens may be used for a single purpose, such as monitoring and tracking, or for more complex operations, such as switching off machines or increasing the output speed, depending on how they are implemented. HMI can provide interface to user that makes people who do not have engineering background to easily understand the machine applications and conditions.
