JAKARTA - The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) will collaborate with Widyatama University in developing smart sensor technology to monitor the environment. This cooperation has been officially agreed.
BRIN and Widyatama University have signed a research agreement on Wednesday, January 7 in Bandung. The main focus of this research is to create electronic devices that can detect soil, water, and air pollution sustainably.
In addition to monitoring pollution, this sensor is also projected to detect potential natural disasters such as land movement. This sensor is designed to operate 24 hours a day so that the technology can provide accurate data.
"We also encourage that in the future, this environmental sensor data can be used for other sectors, such as agriculture and fisheries," said the Head of the Electronics Research Center (PRE) of BRIN, Yusuf Nur Wijayanto, quoted on Saturday, January 10.
Data generated from the smart sensor will later be processed online and in real-time. That way, authorities can take quick action if there is a spike in pollution that endangers health.
The Widyatama University welcomes this cooperation because the development of this technology will involve various study programs ranging from mechanical engineering to informatics. This collaboration is expected to produce scientific works as well as intellectual property rights for both institutions.
Through this step, BRIN and Widyatama University hope that the innovation of electronics technology that they develop can be superior and competitive. Later, this research is believed to provide real benefits for the preservation of ecosystems in Indonesia.
