Olive sector in Palestine suffers from serious problems starting from cultivation process passing through oil extraction process ending with final treatment. Most of the processes depend on old traditional ways away from modern technologies. The main focus of this paper is to put forward some basis and roadmap for implementing artificial intelligence and new technological components in olive sector processes. The hilly nature of Palestine prevents using heavy duty mechanical instruments for harvesting. Most of olive trees are planted on hilly terrains hence requiring the use of light weight hand-held harvesting tools. Soil moisture and nutrition elements can be determined through sensors to decide the necessity to add fertilizers. Olive fruits can be tested to check the oil content and quality before harvesting and extraction process. The final produced virgin oil can be turned to extra virgin oil by implementing further treatment processes where modern technologies are implemented. Modern technologies can also be integrated in post processes of olive sector like touristic wood works, soap manufacturing, olive fruit pickling, and other oil-based food products.

摘要

Olive sector in Palestine suffers from serious problems starting from cultivation process passing through oil extraction process ending with final treatment. Most of the processes depend on old traditional ways away from modern technologies. The main focus of this paper is to put forward some basis and roadmap for implementing artificial intelligence and new technological components in olive sector processes. The hilly nature of Palestine prevents using heavy duty mechanical instruments for harvesting. Most of olive trees are planted on hilly terrains hence requiring the use of light weight hand-held harvesting tools. Soil moisture and nutrition elements can be determined through sensors to decide the necessity to add fertilizers. Olive fruits can be tested to check the oil content and quality before harvesting and extraction process. The final produced virgin oil can be turned to extra virgin oil by implementing further treatment processes where modern technologies are implemented. Modern technologies can also be integrated in post processes of olive sector like touristic wood works, soap manufacturing, olive fruit pickling, and other oil-based food products.
