Deputy Director of Academic, Research, Student Affairs, and Planning Vocational School (SV) UNS, Agus Dwi Priyanto, S.S, M. CALL., in his opening remark, reminded the participants that competitiveness does not appear suddenly but need to be honed and strengthened with collaboration among peers in the same field or from different fields.

“When we do something together, but not just distribute the work, insha’Allah the result will be better,” Agus Dwi Priyanto M.Call., stated on Monday (21/6/2021).

The speaker in the webinar was the Chief of Education and Student Affairs Unit and PKM Assistance Faculty of Engineering Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) Yogyakarta, Dr. Eng. Ir. Herianto, S.T., M.Eng., IPM., ASEAN Eng., who delivered material on the Strategy to Prepare Competitive PKM Proposal.

In his material, Dr. Herianto explained that a team has common internal issues that stemmed from bad collaboration. He emphasized that students form a group with good cooperation that will enable them to achieve success in the National Student Science Week (Pimnas) 2022.

“The first strategy if you prepare a proposal, please find a team who are willing to collaborate. This is vital,” Dr. Herianto emphasized.

Understanding the PKM guidelines is another key factor in preparing a proposal. Common mistakes, such as formatting and signature, will guarantee rejection. Students should also understand the tracks offered in PKM. Dr. Herianto reminded that participants pay attention to the revised fields each year and submit to the related field. This way, students are required to be innovative, fully understand, and obey the regulation.

Dr. Herianto also mentioned that informatics science students have a large opportunity to create work that solves problems in the community in the digitalization era. “This is your time, Informatics Engineering. If you could manage it well, your proposal will be excellent. It is greatly needed,” Dr. Herianto said. Humas UNS

They are encouraged to create this application after knowing that frequent floods struck Bengawan Solo River. It causes the water turbid. Furthermore the water quality checking is also still done manually. According to Ratih, SIAB is application based on the Internet of Things (IoT) used to examine water quality and water distribution in real time.

Ratih also explained that the tool consists of two features namely SIAB monitoring and SIAB distribution. SIAB Monitoring consists of several waterproof sensors such as pH sensors, temperature sensors, and turbidity sensors. Its function is to observe water quality on line. While SIAB Distribution consists of sensor flow meter to know the discharge and volume of water to detect leakage of pipes and calculate the cost of daily water consumption. The data obtained is sent to the server using WIFI connectivity, thus the user can monitor it through the smart phone application.

Creating SIAB application made them won the first prize in the TOP Generation Challenge event in Jakarta, Thursday (14/12/2017). Ratih, Sifa, and Imam succeeded in setting aside 1300 proposals from all over Indonesia which were then selected into 5 finalists for the startup and pre-startup categories.

Ratih explained that their product will be me developed before being disseminated to the wider community.

“In the future we will develop digital recycling, more compact product packaging, and distribute this tool to areas experiencing clean water crisis, as well as cooperate with industry sector and big data development with NB IoT (Narrow Bands- Internet of Things )”, said Ratih. Humas-red.uns/Sav/Isn

This team consisted of student Hansen Kusuma and Lecturers I Wayan Suletra, Yusuf Priyandari, and Wakhid Ahmad.

They wrote a paper entitled “Criterion Determination for Waste Management Installation (IPAL) Through Fuzzy AHP Approach along with Tofu and Tempe Industry In Mojosongo Village”.

This topic was chosen based on the water and air pollution due to industrial activities in Mojosongo.

Therefore Hansen and friends were interested to investigate using IPAL location. It can be used by government of Surakarta to decide the location of IPAL.

“The chosen criteria are expected to be deliberations for the government on the subject of IPAL construction in Mojosongo,” said Hansen.

Hansen successfully defeated 200 participants from entire Indonesia. Furthermore, Wahyudi Sutopo, Head of Industrial Engineering program was selected as the general chairman of BKSTI 2017-2020. humas-red.uns/Ref/Eln

This topped their achievement last year, in which they also competed in the event but did not qualify due to lack of minimum score required. Plenty of innovation and upgrade was done to the Astaka car this year. The upgrades included addition of front and back spoiler, engine performance upgrade, as well as addition to valve on the face of the car for better aerodynamics settings.

A member of FSAE UNS’s Bengawan Team, Bhre Wangsa Lenggana, said that although he and the team did not win the awards, competing in SFJ 2017 itself was already a big accomplishment, for they had to complete several stages before being able to compete in the event. Preparation were done since January although the event was held on 4-9^th of September.

The manufacturing of Astaka cars were also very costly. It took at least ± 120 million rupiahs, which were obtained from Ministry of Higher Education, UNS, sponsors, and also UNS global challenge.

“The process of manufacturing and assembly has been started since January to August. Then we completed the requirements to compete in SFJ 2017, which include car specification, car eligibility video, and several other documents. After we send that, we are pronounced eligible to compete in SFJ 2017,” Bhre added.

This achievement got positive feedback from the dean of Faculty of Engineering UNS, Dr. Sholichin MT.

“I really appreciate what the students have gained. The team from UNS is experiencing rapid progress compared to last year,” said Sholichin. humas-red.uns/Sav/Eln

Rillo, through his paper, creates mathematical model illustrating the allocation of human resources, materials, and equipment of in line maintenance of GMF AeroAsia. GMF AeroAsia is a subsidiary of PT. Garuda Indonesia which engages in the field of aircraft MRO (Maintenance, Repairing and Overhaul) multi–service which provides 8 types of service. The allocation of human resources in this company is based on least hiring cost principle, so the human resources choosing priority determined by the type of worker which has the least hiring cost. According to Rillo, the allocation model that he found is an initial step though it is small, yet if it continues to be developed following the further steps, is possible to be implemented.

In line with, General Manager Strategy Management Office of GMF AeroAsia, Suryo Hardiono, said that this model would be developed continuously. “The model that we are looking for should be adjusted with the operational condition in the real field, material-based resource optimal point, movement or people power and dynamic workload. By having many human resources in Indonesia, we (GMF) need a fast and accurate model to decide the amount of resources will be allocated so that it can be optimal. We can compare, the way we depute the workers from a branch office to the others and the way we recruit the workers, which one is the cheapest and most efficient. And Rillo’s model is the best,” Suryo explained, who is also in charge to guide Rillo during his paper compilation. “This model will be developed continually, by using real and accurate data.”

The Chief of Industrial Engineering Department, Wahyudi Sutopo also delivered his response regarding to Rillo’s success on getting the best paper predicate at the international conference. According to him, this project had been planned to be cooperation between UNS and GMF AeroAsia. “This is a scheduled and well-structured project, an onward step which is not accidental. Through internship and practical work programs, UNS is able to produce various works that motivate other students to keep on working,” Wahyudi concluded. [anggra.red.uns.ac.id]
