This research proposes a conceptual design for an Internet of Things (IoT)-enhanced solar dryer tailored specifically for seaweed cultivation on Madura Island, Indonesia. The study addresses the critical bottleneck in the traditional sun drying process, which is highly susceptible to weather variations, contamination, and inconsistent drying quality. Utilizing Fahmideh and Zowghi's IoT Development Framework, the research encompasses both the analysis and design phases. The analysis phase identifies the environmental conditions, operational requirements, and technical specifications necessary for optimal seaweed drying on Madura Island. Based on these insights, the design phase develops a comprehensive system architecture incorporating advanced IoT components such as sensors, actuators, connectivity solutions, and data management platforms. The proposed IoT-enhanced solar dryer aims to create a controlled and optimized drying environment, significantly improving drying efficiency and ensuring consistent product quality. By enabling farmers to meet increasing demand and achieve higher market prices for their produce, this innovative solution enhances the economic viability of seaweed farming on Madura Island. Ultimately, this research contributes to the sustainability and growth of Indonesia’s blue economy by promoting advanced agricultural practices and increasing the competitiveness of the seaweed industry.

In this paper, the performance of a wind energy‐supported hybrid hot air dryer was examined experimentally. Wind energy provided overall electrical energy needed for the activation of the dryer. In the experiments, the drying behavior of white cabbage leaves with the same surface area and three different geometries: circle, rectangle, and square cross‐section was examined using three different constant temperatures (50°C, 60°C, and 70°C), and two different constant air speeds (0.5 and 1 m/s). The main purpose of using different geometries during the drying process was to determine the optimum cross‐section and working parameters for white cabbage leaves. The based aim of the study was to contribute to both increasing the energy efficiency of processes that cause high energy consumption, such as drying, and ensuring their continuity throughout the four seasons, by using a clean renewable energy source such as wind. Consequent the experiments, it was seen that the drying time decreased by approximately 52.63% and the energy consumption reduced by approximately 47.9% with the increase in temperature and air speed in rectangular‐sectioned cabbages compared to other geometries. In addition, in the longest‐term experiment, a maximum of 40% of the stored energy was used. This revealed that the developed hybrid system has approximately 52.5% higher energy efficiency than other drying units supporting with PV panels and also provides an average at the rate of 45% advantage in terms of product drying time.
