Schneider Electric Cikarang Plant's visit

The Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy is pleased to welcome Michael Suhendra, an Indonesian engineering student from the Institut Teknologi Bandung, for a 6-month internship from February to August 2023. As part of this internship programme, he will work on the Energy Lab project. This project is a continuation of a previous project called XR Operator Advisor project which allows us to manipulate Schneider Electric equipment with augmented reality technology. The idea of the project is to provide a virtual reality assembly guide for newly employed operators in the Schneider Electric plant in Cikarang. As part of this project, we had the opportunity to visit the Schneider Electric plant in Cikarang again, in order to establish the precise objectives of the study. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Joko Sutopo and his team for the warm welcome they have always given us and we look forward to working with them again.

Last week, we had a pleasure of receiving a French delegation from Académie de La Réunion & Campus des métiers et des qualifications civil engineering and eco-construction in a tropical environment composed by Brault Laurent, DRAFPIC, Ranjit ZANEGUY, Head of partnerships (DRAFPIC Réunion/Rectorat) & Didier CALOGINE, Professor at ESIROI [École Supérieure d'Ingénieurs Réunion Océan Indien] Engineering School. The French delegation was warmly received by Cecep S. And his team at Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Ministry of Education and Culture Republic of Indonesia) accompanied by CoE EARE’s Co-director, Manuel AZIBI, France Éducation international, Ministère de l'Éducation nationale et de la Jeunesse and Antoine Bricout, Educational Cooperation Attaché of the French Embassy, Institut Français Indonesia. The purpose of a visit was to discuss about the further actions of collaborations regarding the cooperation agreement that has been signed between the CMQ génie civil et éco-construction en milieu tropical, La Réunion and Kemendikbud. We were first hosted by Kemendikbud, with the first presentation of the DRAFPIC, Brault Laurent, that took us through following discussion about our further actions on vocational education. We would like to thank Cecep S., Muhammad Wildan Pratama, Dian Vita nugrahaeny, Bayu Tri Prasetyo, Fauziannisa Pradana Putri & Ahmad Syaiful Anwar for the support in the preparation of our French delegation who presented in Kemendikbud and to all participants for the fulfilling exchanges we had.

For almost 4 months, Cédric Hénon, French intern from ESIROI [École Supérieure d'Ingénieurs Réunion Océan Indien], has been interning at Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy. In the 4th week of August, he had the opportunity to do his internship at Schneider Electric Indonesia's Head Office in Jakarta for a week. On 25 August 2022, the intern made a final presentation of the XR Operator Advisor project. We would like to thank Roberto Rossi and Astri Ramayanti Dharmawan for attending the final presentation. The XR OA project was initiated by Marie Castella (Innovative & Inclusive Training Lead from Schneider Electric France), supervised by Manuel AZIBI (Co-Director of CoE EARE) and supported by Aswita W. Saragih (Education Business Development from Schneider Electric Indonesia). We hope that this innovative project, which aims to test the use of XR OA software in education, will help learners in the future. Cédric Hénon is almost at the end of his internship. We would like to thank him for his hard work and we wish him all the best for his next steps !
