The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) continues to facilitate a number of results of optimizing the use of industrial technology to appear at the IndoDefence Kemayoran event, Jakarta, this year.
With this facilitation, all major offices or technical service units (UPT) under the Standardization and Industrial Services Policy Agency (BSKJI) of the Ministry of Industry are expected to provide services in terms of industrial standardization, optimization of the use of industrial technology, and industrial services.
All of them are highly committed to the quality of services provided to customers, including industry players. The findings from the centers are not just research, but are ready to be commercialized.
"The Ministry of Industry has created technology that supports the updating of products from the national defense equipment industry. With the findings of this product technology, we are optimistic that the performance of the defense industry can contribute significantly to national economic growth and support import substitution policies," said the Ministry of Industry's Director General of Metal, Machinery, Transportation Equipment and Electronics (ILMATE), Taufiek Bawzier in Jakarta, Friday, November 4.
There are five Standardization and Industrial Services Policy Agencys (BSKJI) of the Ministry of Industry that are present to provide services in terms of industrial standardization, optimizing the use of industrial technology, and providing industrial services.
For example, the Agro Standardization and Industrial Services Center (BBSPJI), Metal and Machine BBSPJI, Non-metallic Ceramic and Mineral BBSPJI, and Selulosa BBSPJI.
In the IndoDefence 2022, the Agro Center for Industrial Service Standardization and Services (BBSPJI) brought food testing technology for military purposes.
Then, BBSPJI Metals and Machines display a tracked chain or armored link track for tanks. This component as a whole serves to move the combat vehicle.
Next, the participation of BBSPJI Keramik and Mineral Nonlogam in strengthening the defense sector, namely making bullet-proof vests, bullet-proof helmets, and military vehicle coating products as steel substitution.
The Textile Standardization and Industrial Services Center (BBSPJI) itself introduced a kitosan application for antibacterials on military uniforms. Kitosan is a marine product from Indonesia, which has natural antibacterial properties with textile bacterial growth reduction capability of up to more than 90 percent.
Finally, BBSPJI Selulosa, which displays the use of Selulosaâpenyakit as the basic material for propellants for rocket boosters. So far, the need for Selulosa is still very dependent on imports.
Therefore, in order to realize the independence of the defense industry, BBSPJI Selulosa collaborated with PT. Dahana is known to develop a dissolving pulp as raw material for Selulosa.
The entire defense equipment industry that was displayed, said Taufiek, is expected to be a new finding created by the Ministry of Industry to spur the competitiveness of the national defense equipment industry so that its products are accepted in the global market.
"Therefore, we have helped facilitate a number of results of optimizing the use of industrial technology designed by the Ministry of Industry's offices to appear at the IndoDefence 2022," he said.
