Specifications For The Jabodebek LRT Are Called Different, This Is What The Staff Of The Minister Of SOEs Said
JAKARTA - Special Staff to the Minister of SOEs Arya Sinulingga opened his voice regarding the difference in specifications in the Jabodebek LRT series. The findings of the Jabodebek LRT series, according to him, could be input for INKA companies themselves.
"The consequence of domestic production strengthening is that we have to make, there is learning. But this is not an expensive lesson, but indeed it will make INKA better," he said at the Ministry of SOEs, Jakarta, Thursday, August 3.
Arya said that the difference in specifications was a logical consequence faced by INKA. The reason is, the Jabodebek LRT is the latest generation of LRT where there are no drivers.
"This is the latest generation of LRT, which does not use a driver. This means that there is a technology transfer, and the name transfer technology has logical consequences for what is called there, we cannot immediately make it good," he said.
"Imagine, making the latest generation, best and highest but it was made by local people, like it or not, there are trials obtained by INKA. INKA must learn," he continued.
Arya said, this lesson could be capital for INKA to work on similar projects at a later time. Arya admitted, each of the first projects will indeed feel heavier.
"But we will get the best technology and there is technology transfer. That's what INKA received. And now INKA is told to make the same, it's easy. But for the first time it's tough," he said.
Just for information, the difference in specifications from the Jabodebek LRT series was revealed by the Deputy Minister of BUMN Kartika Wirjoatmodjo. He admitted that he received a report from Siemens, the party involved in the LRT project.
Tiko, Kartika Wirjoatmodjo's nickname, said that there were 31 series of LRT trains that had different specifications. He said, this difference was a challenge ahead of the Jabodebek LRT operation.

"Siemens one day a call meeting, a complaint with me, sir, the software went up the cost", why?, "This INKA train spec, both dimensions, weight and speed and blurring are different from each other," said Tiko.
Tiko said the different train specifications made the tolerance of the railway system wider, so the cost was high.
"So the 31 trains have different specs. So the software must be made wider tolerance, so that they can capture various kinds of specs from it," he explained.
