Article
May 05, 2023
In recent years, the excellence, innovation and development of the Internet of Things have become the subject of conversation. Technology that has been started since the last three decades continues to experience relatively rapid development to date. The advantages and innovations of IoT have become an attraction for businesses and companies.
The concept of Internet of Things (IoT) has two main features, namely:
Automation, the general idea of IoT involves direct communication between devices without involving human intervention.
Connectivity, connection is needed to allow data communication between devices.
Both of these features of course require the support of various technologies to ensure automatic data transfer, analysis, and response between multiple devices. The use of these various technologies requires support from IoT. There are several benefits of IoT that will facilitate business activities, namely:
Better utilization of resources and assets
IoT enables automated scheduling and monitoring with the help of the use of interconnected sensors. Not only does it increase efficiency, it can also improve the utilization of company resources and assets. For example, with automation, companies can better manage the use of water, electricity or other resources because they no longer rely on humans to allow human error to occur .
Improved work safety
In addition, IoT can also improve work safety, especially in operational fields that are usually prone to work accidents. With IoT, machines can work automatically and worker functions turn into supervisors so there is no need to directly interact with machines which will increase safety in the work environment. Many companies have proven that the number of work accidents has decreased since implementing the Internet of Things. Of course this is good news for companies because safe working conditions will increase the interest of investors, partners, and even human resources to engage in business or company.
Increase productivity and effectiveness of the company
Before the existence of IoT, the increase in work productivity was directly proportional to the addition of the workforce, IoT solutions allowed businesses and companies to increase productivity without having to add as many employees as before. This may happen because some work can be done automatically so that human resources are only responsible for more complex work or supervisors of work performed by machines.
There are many uses of IoT that will provide benefits to businesses. Starting from increasing the productivity and effectiveness of the company which in turn can increase company profits. But companies certainly cannot carelessly apply this technology. If applied without careful calculations and qualified service providers, then this technology will not bring as much profit as it should.
Telkom Indonesia presents an IoT Platform that is committed to helping companies in Indonesia apply this technology to business. Not only providing IoT technology, Telkom Indonesia continues to innovate and improve their technology in order to provide greater benefits for companies that collaborate with one of the leading SOEs in Indonesia.

Telkom Indonesia for Digital Transformation of Agriculture & Livestock
The presence of various new technologies and innovations in addition to opening wide the collaboration space also creates various application possibilities that were once unimaginable. One of them is the application of technology in the agricultural and livestock sector which has the potential to become Indonesia's leading sector. Unfortunately, in Indonesia, not many are aware of modern technology that can encourage business productivity and efficiency in the agricultural and livestock sectors. If in the past the application of technology was limited to how to create superior seeds that are good for crops and livestock, facilitating work with technology in the transportation sector by presenting tractors and various other tools, now there are many applications of technology that can be applied in these two sectors.Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI), for example, are two of the various technologies that can help the decision-making process through highly varied data processing, observation, surveillance so that they can  provide solutions with higher accuracy than before.Solutions to the Challenges of the Future Food CrisisCurrently, almost all over the world face the same problem, namely the food crisis caused by the continued decline in agricultural and livestock crops. This is no small matter. If it is allowed to drag on, it is only a matter of time until humans face the threat of hunger. To get around this, it is certainly not enough to use only high-yielding varieties or varieties with a faster harvest period. A more thorough solution is needed. The application of appropriate technology can not only be a long-term solution but also the best solution to deal with the food crisis. Some appropriate technologies that can increase crop yields in the agricultural and livestock sectors include: Internet of Things (IoT)The term Internet of Things or IoT is a concept where devices or objects can be connected to other devices due to censorship and internet connection. IoT works by leveraging programming argumentation so that interactions between devices occur without human intervention and without being limited by distance.In the agricultural and livestock sector, this technology presents a lot of new potential. In the field of animal husbandry, the application of IoT digitizes the process in the cage of the closed house system so that all data collection and settings needed such as temperature, humidity, luminosity, CO2, NH3 and windspeed can be done in real time. Indicators to assess the success of a chicken farming business based on the level of the number of live chickens, chicken harvest weight, harvest age, and feed conversion ratio (FCR).Meanwhile, in agriculture, IoT enables farmers to overcome the challenges of climate change. By using devices and sensors, farmers can collect data related to soil moisture and conditions in real time around the clock, analyze data to find out the best crop varieties in the region and the right time to start farming crops to avoid crop failure or to get maximum yields. Cloud ComputingOf course, a large storage space is needed to store Big Data related to the condition of plants, livestock, weather and the environment to be processed and analyzed. The presence of cloud computing allows farms and farms to be able to store all of this data without having large and relatively more expensive hardware. In addition, the cloud also offers flexibility both in terms of resources and economy.Smart Farming & Smart PoultryAs the name suggests, this is a technology-based agricultural and livestock system that can help to increase crop yields in quantity and quality. The agriculture and livestock sector can come by combining Big Data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) to carry out monitoring, automation and predictive analytics.In the agricultural sector, Smart Farming is not limited to analyzing soil conditions as mentioned earlier. Smart Farming can be used to build automatic irrigation and watering systems, regulate the temperature of the green house to suit the needs of plants, even for large-scale farms Smart Farming can also be applied in sorting crops in an automated manner which will certainly increase the efficiency of processing time. Likewise in the field of animal husbandry. Smart Poultry is here to be a solution to almost all problems that may be faced by farmers. Starting from monitoring the condition of each farm animal in real time and thoroughly, as well as automation of cages. Dashboard ManagementIoT and Smart Farming are certainly not complete without dashboard management to monitor crops, livestock, weather and the environment. In addition, report management can also be made specifically according to needs and targets to be able to help make decisions.Utilization of Technology in Indonesian Agriculture and Animal HusbandryThe agricultural and livestock sector in Indonesia has begun to apply many technologies to increase the efficiency and productivity of crop yields.As one of the integrated poultry farming companies in Indonesia,  PT Sreeya Sewu Indonesia Tbk or better known as Sreeya is a pioneer of Smart Farm innovation to digitize business processes by providing real-time data on cultivation aimed at increasing livestock productivity.Telkom Indonesia also supports Sreeya in building and implementing a Smart Farming system that has been adapted to Sreeya's business needs. Telkom Indonesia also initiated the formation of a joint research at Sreeya's farm location to dig deeper information in order to provide the best solution. Smart Farming & Poultry provided by Telkom Indonesia is an innovation that can be applied in the agricultural or other livestock sectors to get better yields in terms of quantity and quality, as well as increase the efficiency and productivity of the company's business.

Telkom Indonesia Supports the Digitalization of Smart Poultry Farming
Indonesia is one of the 10 largest chicken producing countries in the world which is in sixth place with production reaching 3.4 million tons per year. But on the other hand, chicken farmers are very vulnerable to various failures that can affect their business, because the chicken farming business is vulnerable to the risk of loss which is highly dependent on internal factors (productivity, livestock mortality rate) and external factors (input prices and output prices).With the implementation of Smart Poultry Farming , it is hoped that the risk of failure can be minimized and the penetration of technology use in the Agribusiness industry in Indonesia is increasing so that it can advance the Agribusiness sector in Indonesia. Smart Poultry Farming is a tangible manifestation of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in the livestock sector for a better and globally competitive future of the livestock business in Indonesia.Challenges Faced by the Livestock SectorThe Indonesian government has a big dream to make Indonesia a world food producer. This is not an easy dream. Many challenges must be solved first in line with development to improve the quality and quantity of crops. Some of the main challenges faced by livestock sector players include:Capital and InvestmentCapital is still a major challenge. Farmers complain about the difficulty of getting investors to develop the sector. This challenge has received the attention of the government marked by the increasing investment for the sector both from within the country and abroad. Modern animal husbandryThe government began to introduce and invite farmers to change the traditional livestock system to be more modern. Not only to answer the challenge of loss risk, modern animal husbandry can also improve the quality and quantity of crop yields. Modern animal husbandry allows farmers to use the right technology to be able to monitor livestock and stall conditions. Furthermore, modern animal husbandry also eases the burden on farmers by offering automation that will eventually multiply the productivity of livestock products. Crop MarketingAfter achieving the desired quality and quantity of the crop, then how to market it? If there are too many products on the market, it will affect the selling price which can harm business actors in the sector. If it is mishandled in the distribution process, it will affect the condition of the harvest when it reaches the hands of consumers.The Challenge of Presenting Innovation Carried out by Telkom IndonesiaSeeing the various challenges faced by the livestock sector and with the understanding that technology is the future, Telkom certainly continues to innovate to present appropriate technology to help face existing challenges, so that it can realize one of the long-term plans of the Indonesian government, namely making Indonesia a world food producer. Telkom Indonesia is not only a state-owned enterprise that focuses on telecommunications, but now it has also transformed into the leading digital telco in Indonesia. Telkom has also proven that its various technological innovations can be used as digitalization solutions in the livestock sector. One of them is by synergizing to support the development of Smart Poultry Farming innovations that digitize business processes at PT Sreeya Sewu Indonesia Tbk or Sreeya.PT Sreeya Sewu Indonesia Tbk is one of the companies engaged in the livestock sector since 1985. Initially, the company focused on chicken farming, the provision of slaughter chickens and chicken-based frozen food. Over time, this company continued to grow until it became the first company in Indonesia to apply halal blockchain to chicken slaughter procedures. With various challenges that exist, PT Sreeya Sewu Indonesia Tbk digitizes every business line focused on developing new technology from upstream to downstream.In this case, Telkom Indonesia comes with a Smart Poultry Farming solution where all parts of the farm will be integrated starting from the process of managing livestock to harvest with the main focus on increasing productivity in farm facilities and slaughterhouses. The innovation carried out by Telkom Indonesia offers four main advantages for PT Sreeya Sewu Indonesia Tbk, namely:Livestock ManagementSmart Farming Poultry built by Telkom Indonesia using various technologies and services to change livestock management. From a traditional farm to a modern farm where all operational activities are monitored in real time. With dashboard management, PT Sreeya Sewu Indonesia Tbk can supervise livestock and cage conditions around the clock. Sensors placed in cages and various other locations will provide information if urgent things are detected, so that preventive measures can be taken faster to avoid large amounts of losses. These data will also be stored in the cloud so that they can be processed and analyzed according to future needs and targets. Automation SystemIn addition to using sensors to monitor the condition of animals and cages, the collaboration between Telkom Indonesia and PT Sreeya Sewu Indonesia Tbk also includes automation systems, such as Fan Controlling & Automation placed in cages. By utilizing IoT or Internet of Things technology, Telkom Indonesia puts sensors at several important points to monitor temperature, humidity, lighting, carbon monoxide, ammonia and wind speed. Data from these various sensors will be integrated and stored in the cloud for processing and analysis. The existence of this automation makes the condition of the cage better than before and can be easily monitored. Quality and Quantity of Livestock ProductsModern livestock management and automation systems will ultimately improve the quality and quantity of livestock yields. The quality of farm animals improves because all the time the condition of farm animals and cages and the surrounding environment are under monitoring which allows adjustments to be made if needed. Not only quality, the quantity of livestock products will also increase.With various technological and service innovations, Telkom Indonesia is committed to continuing to strive to support and encourage the development of the livestock sector that is more innovative and adaptive to technological advances.

Incandescent School, The Fire of New Spirit in Education
Education is a basic right of a human being and must be fulfilled by the state. No one disputes this statement. The state agreed and presented compulsory education programs for the entire population. In addition, education is also one of the main instruments to reduce and even end extreme poverty. Education is also one of the factors for the country to move forward. Unfortunately, similar to other industries, education also faces a variety of very complex challenges. In addition to the curriculum problem which until now is still being debated because the right curriculum has not been found to be implemented, the education industry is also faced with challenges in the field of data management. The education industry is one of the industries that has a large amount of data. Starting from student data, lesson data, assessment data, and various other data. Of course, it is not easy to manage all this data. In addition to the need for a lot of energy and time, it also requires skills and competencies from the perpetrators. This certainly adds to the burden on these industry players, especially teachers and teachers. Their focus will be divided whether or not they realize it will have an impact on the teaching and learning process. Telkom Indonesia realizes that this challenge can be solved by the application of appropriate technology. Armed with a commitment to take part in the progress of Indonesia, Telkom Indonesia presents a solution, namely the School Management system, namely Pijar Sekolah. Modernizing School Management with Digital SolutionsThe massive development of technology presents so much potential to be utilized in various sectors and fields in human life.

Modernization of School Management with Incandescent Schools
School is not just about the teaching and learning process. In fact, the school is a company. Professional management is needed to ensure that the school can run smoothly and successfully face the various challenges that exist. Unfortunately, there are still not many who realize this. Until now, many schools are still not professionally managed. All is left only to the principal and the teachers. This certainly causes many problems such as data management which is still done manually and takes a long time to find that data if you want to use it. In addition, this also burdens teachers because in addition to teaching, they also have to work on this data management problem. Not only that, this data management problem also raises new problems and some of them are scoring systems that are considered not transparent with a fairly low level of accuracy. This accuracy problem arises because of manual data management and the difficulty of finding old data so that teachers cannot measure the competence of students properly. It also causes parents to find it difficult to supervise their children's grades. The parents only know what the teachers are informed about. This is also faced by public schools in the city of Semarang. Coupled with the pandemic condition where the education industry is one of the most affected industries because the teaching and learning process is carried out face-to-face while the pandemic makes it impossible to do so. Incandescent School, The Fire of the Spirit of School Management ModernizationA total of 324 elementary schools and 45 junior high schools in Semarang city collaborated with Telkom Indonesia and began to use the Pijar Sekolah application to start managing schools digitally. The city of Semarang chose Pijar Indonesia, of course, because this application owned by one of the leading SOEs is the best application that offers many benefits that will improve the quality of schools. The First Step Towards DigitalizationThe app offers schools to do data management manually. This is certainly a big stepping stone considering that so far all data has been done manually. At the beginning of each school year, the school is immersed in various data related to the students, both new students and old students. This of course takes quite a long time to complete. Manual management also increases the possibility of human error. With digital management, schools can do time efficiency. In addition to the processing time, it is also time to find data when needed because all data has been integrated. In addition, Pijar Sekolah is equipped with a System Information Management (SIM) that allows schools to manage data in a digital way securely. Complete and Easy to Use ModulesIncandescent Schools are not only here to solve data management problems in schools. This application is presented by Telkom Indonesia to improve education in Indonesia. That means that in addition to schools, students who are consumers of the school must also be considered. Armed with this in mind, Incandescent Schools are equipped with a variety that can be utilized by the students. If System Information Management focuses on school needs, then Digital Learning Modules and Exam Modules are presented to meet the needs of students. The evolving world and the pandemic that occurred a few years ago caused schools to find ways to continue the teaching and learning process which ultimately presents the teaching and learning process which is carried out online. The Digital Learning Module will make it easier for teachers and students to carry out the teaching and learning process from anywhere, not limited to the classroom alone. In addition, this module also allows students to do a more in-depth exploration of the learning material they like without having to wait for the schedule of the teaching and learning process. While the Exam Module allows the students to do many practice questions independently. This module also makes it easier to conduct exams. Furthermore, this module can be integrated with assessment so that exam results can be immediately known quickly and accurately. Incandescent Schools, Solutions Needed by Schools in IndonesiaIs it only about data management that is a problem for the Indonesian education industry? Of course not. The school also faces communication challenges especially with the parents of students. This has been a challenge since many years ago. Parents of students always argue that so far the school has not been transparent enough to them. Many parents question the assessment given by teachers to their children. Questioning how teachers measure competence and how accurate the results of measurements made by teachers are. Not only that, but parents also often feel confused because they don't get enough information about their children's development at school. Incandescent Schools can answer that problem. Yes, Incandescent School is an application that not only answers the needs of the school but also the needs of students and parents. This is because Telkom Indonesia as the developer of this application realizes that schools, students and parents are inseparable components to build a school with superior quality. In addition to being equipped with System Information Management and various interesting modules and can be used anywhere, Pijar Sekolah is also equipped with a Student monitoring dashboard that can be accessed by parents. Through this dashboard, various questions that have been haunting parents can be answered. The app will also improve the accuracy level of student competency measurement as teachers can easily access previous data and compare with data from the latest results. Things that used to take a very long time to do, with the Incandescent School application can be done in a short time with much more accurate results than before. The presence of Pijar Sekolah is expected to solve the problems and challenges faced by schools in Indonesia as has been proven by many public schools in the city of Semarang. The end result of using this application is of course the increasing quality of education in Indonesia. Telkom Indonesia believes that with superior education, Indonesia will be able to compete with other countries not only in the Southeast Asian region but also globally.Â
