Smart Soil Analysis Device for Coffee Cultivation in Saudi Arabia
Project Type: Self-Initiated
Project Description
Saudi Arabia faces a lack of localized soil data and technological support for coffee farmers, creating a significant barrier to sustainable domestic production. To address this, our project develops a "Smart Soil Analysis Device" that provides an accessible, real-time, and data-driven solution for monitoring and improving soil conditions. By bridging the gap in scientific data, this device supports the growth of the local coffee industry, reduces reliance on imports, and contributes to the country's agricultural sustainability. This project successfully integrated chemical sensing, embedded processing, and quality optimization into a unified, portable prototype for real-time measurement of critical soil parameters. By establishing a robust system architecture and defining comprehensive validation frameworks, the design lays a strong foundation for a statistically reliable tool tailored to sustainable Saudi coffee cultivation
