Visit to ASECH (Center of Excellence on Smart City) Bali

For the 2022 program, the Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy plans to extend its collaboration with some of the Campus des métiers et des qualifications in France. A Campus des métiers et des qualifications or CMQ is a network that brings together all the stakeholders (high school, higher education institutions, training organizations, research laboratories, companies and associations) in a sector of activity to develop the skills required by the industries.

The Centre of Excellence for Electricity, Automation and Renewable Energy team and the BBPPMPV BMTI Kemdikbud team had the opportunity to visit the Schneider Electric Cikarang Plant on Thursday (24/11). We would like to thank Mr. Joko Sutopo, Director of Schneider Electric Cikarang Plant, who warmly received us and invited us to visit their plant. During this visit, we had the opportunity to learn about the latest system innovations, work culture, projects and new tools of Schneider Electric Cikarang as a smart factory. On this occasion, our co-director, Mr. Manuel AZIBI, had the opportunity to present our innovative projects in the field of educational learning, which aims to help students and teachers to use the Schneider Electric equipment provided in vocational schools. We hope to collaborate soon in operator training using digital training tools. It was a great honour and pleasure to discuss our common training issues. We are looking forward to our first work together.

The CoE project has already equipped 125 SMK across Indonesia. Some of these SMK have the possibility to become Regional Center of Excellence and disseminate their new skills and share their equipment with neighboring SMK. This is the case of SMKN 1 Tana Toraja and SMKN 2 Komodo who became RCoE after a one-week on-site training. We would like to thank our master trainer, Pak Tubagus Kurniawan, who conducted the training in these 2 SMK. The teachers were trained in the use of the equipment received and we hope that the trained teachers will be able to make an impact on the surrounding schools.
