Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) has successfully developed the e-PADI system to monitor paddy development parameters electronically and provide guidance to farmers towards high productivity paddy cultivation through its end user application software which is accessible via smart phones, tablets or computers. The internet of thing (IoT)-based system also measures and reports important parameters include soil pH, soil electrical conductivity (EC) towards reducing the use of unnecessary fertilizers, water temperature and water levels which is crucial for productive (estimated up to 10 tons/hectare) paddy developments.
The e-PADI system was invented by Dr. Mohd Nazrin Md Isa from School of Microelectronic Engineering (SoME), UniMAP, developed under the MTSFB IoT Project Grant.
