Abstract
As the demand for sustainable and efficient agricultural practices continues to rise, plant factories have emerged as a viable solution to meet the growing global need for fresh produce. An automated plant tray loader prototype has been developed to reduce labor requirements by automating the loading of plant trays onto cultivation racks. The purpose of this article is to present the design, development, and evaluation of the prototype. Usability and performance evaluations demonstrate that while the system may prevent physical discomfort, it is difficult to use, thereby reducing its practicality. To improve its practicality, its positioning and coordination need to be improved.
