From the technology side, the Ultrajaya plant has adopted an industrial 4.0 system to increase efficiency and maintain product quality. Acting Director General of Agro Industry Putu Juli Ardika said that digital transformation has a direct impact on industry competitiveness. "The implementation of industrial 4.0 technology has proven to increase efficiency, save energy, increase productivity and competitiveness, as well as maintain product quality," he said. The applied technologies include Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), autopilot forklift, Manufacturing Execution System (MES), to warehouse management systems based on Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS). In addition, this facility is also equipped with a Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) with an ultrafiltration system that allows the recycling of most of the liquid waste to be reused in the production process. In the future, the company also plans to increase investment for 4,000 dairy cows to strengthen the supply of fresh milk in the country. The Ministry of Industry will also continue to encourage the increased use of domestic fresh milk in order to meet the target of the MBG Program, as well as inviting PT Ultrajaya to participate in the selection of the National Lighthouse Industry 4.0 as a pilot industry for the processing of milk based on technology and automation.
Previously, the Ministry of Industry had carried out a digitization program at the Milk Storage (TPS) to maintain the quality, protein content, and freshness of fresh milk.
Through the strengthening of investment, the application of digital technology, and synergy with farmers and milk cooperatives, the Ministry of Industry is optimistic that the national milk processing industry will be able to support food security, increase domestic added value, and successfully implement the Free Nutritious Meal Program on an ongoing basis.
