Popis: Based on the geographical profile of Wang Kelian, Perlis, farmers are having trouble is distributing resources due to land elevation. In the present work, an automated solar powered agriculture irrigation system is proposed as a solution for the farmers to manage their farms efficiently. To provide a viable solution in designing the proposed system, a series of procedures have been employed. A survey was conducted in order to identify the customer requirement. The respondent requirements data were extracted to match with the scientific view to design the system. The data from the respondent was then linked to respond to the product characteristic by decomposing the function of the irrigation system. Herein, four conceptual designs were finalised by cross-linking the part selection through the morphological chart. Among these designs, the final agriculture irrigation system was being selected by evaluating and scoring the weight factor by using a weighted-decision matrix. As a result, a fully automated conceptual design (Concept 1) was selected as the best design as the highest score of 3.96 was recorded.
