The implementation of Industry 4.0 emphasizes the capability and competitiveness in agriculture application, which is the essential framework of a country's economy that procures raw materials and resources. Human workers currently employ the traditional assessment method and classification of cocoa beans, which requires a significant amount of time. Advanced agricultural development and procedural operations differ significantly from those of several decades earlier, principally because of technological developments, including sensors, devices, appliances, and information technology. Artificial intelligence, as one of the foremost techniques that revitalized the implementation of Industry 4.0, has extraordinary potential and prospective applications. This study demonstrated a methodology for textural feature analysis on digital images of cocoa beans. The co-occurrence matrix features of the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) were compared with the convolutional neural network (CNN) method for the feature extraction method. In addition, we applied several classifiers for conclusive assessment and classification to obtain an accuracy performance analysis. Our results showed that using the GLCM texture feature extraction can contribute more reliable results than using CNN feature extraction from the final classification. Our method was implemented through on-site preprocessing within a low-performance computational device. It also helped to foster the use of modern Internet of Things (IoT) technologies among farmers and to increase the security of the food supply chain as a whole.
