PIDI 4.0 Building, Jakarta
On March 5, 2024, the Industrial Engineering Department of Swiss German University (SGU), in collaboration with PT Andal Wahana Sinergi (AWASIN) and the Center for Digital Industry of Indonesia (PIDI 4.0), successfully hosted the Lean 4.0 Workshop. The event attracted close to 90 participants from more than 30 prominent companies, including NutriFood, LG Electronics, and PT Komatsu Indonesia.
Opening Ceremony & Strategic Collaborations
The workshop commenced with a welcoming address by Mr. Saiful Bahri, Director of the PIDI 4.0 Center. This was followed by two Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremonies that marked new collaborative efforts toward strengthening innovation and technology transfer in the manufacturing sector.
Participants were also invited to explore an Industry 4.0 technology exhibition, setting the stage for a day filled with forward-thinking discussions and applied learning.
Expert Sessions on Lean 4.0 and Technology Integration
The academic sessions were led by faculty members of SGU’s Industrial Engineering program, delivering practical knowledge on integrating lean principles with digital innovation:
- Dr. Tanika D. Sofianti, MT opened the session with an introduction to Lean 4.0, emphasizing how lean thinking must evolve in the era of smart manufacturing.
- Ir. Triarti Saraswati, M.Eng presented on Economic Analysis for Investment in New Technology, highlighting cost-benefit frameworks for digital adoption.
- Dr. Eng. Aditya T. Pratama delivered a talk on Management of Quality and Reliability, focusing on aligning quality systems with digital tools.
- Dr. Tanika returned with a session on Data Analysis for Optimization, demonstrating how data-driven decisions can elevate operational efficiency.
Live Demonstrations: Predictive Maintenance and Smart Equipment
The day concluded with a live technology demonstration led by PT AWASIN, facilitated by Ms. Lia. Participants witnessed the application of Predictive Maintenance tools and Quality Inspection using Computer Vision—showcasing how AI-enhanced monitoring can improve reliability and reduce downtime in industrial operations.
Attendees were also introduced to cutting-edge technologies such as:
- Meta Quest 3, a device combining Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) for industrial training, layout visualization, and design simulation.
- The Dobot Robot Studio, developed by SGU’s Industrial Engineering lab, which showcased intelligent robotics applications for education and production environments.
Strengthening Synergy Across Sectors
This initiative is part of SGU’s broader mission to promote industry-relevant education and contribute to the national “Making Indonesia 4.0” roadmap. By connecting academia, industry practitioners, and government bodies, the workshop aimed to empower participants with practical tools and strategic perspectives for navigating industrial transformation.
