Farming Bot: Precision Agriculture System in Limited Land Based On Computer Numerical Control (CNC)

摘要

Abstract Indonesia is a vast country both sea and land, but as population development and growth continues to increase, the land that is usually used for agricultural land is now changing into residential land. This narrowing land is the biggest challenge that must be faced today. Basically, farming activities require a knowledge base that is land use, seeds/seedlings, cultivation, processing, to marketing. However, cultivation on land is limited by several methods of land use such as the use of roof gardens need to be considered well because it requires a large investment and careful planning. One way that can be done is through modern technology for energy efficiency and time. In this study, a precision farming system was created using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology. CNC is a machine tool automation system that is operated by command, randomly programmed and stored in storage media. By using CNC technology, it allows the machine to follow the coordinate points that are entered into the system accurately. The command to drive a CNC machine is usually called the G-Code. The accuracy of the machine motion using a stepper motor can reach 1 mm. The system is made, similar to the control system on a 3D Printer machine with a wider work area. Later, the machine-made will be named "Farming-BOT", short for Farming Robots or robots for farming..
