fresh fruit bunch (FFB) will be manually transferred into the bin. Currently, manual FFB loading involves picking up bunches with an iron spike and dropping them into a 1-1.5 m height bin (Figure 1). Multiple handlings will increase the overall time taken and lower the FFB quality. Workers are also prone to fatigue when handling big bunches.
