UII Industrial Engineering Delegation in National Ergonomics Seminar

UII Industrial Engineering students once again made proud achievements in the “X Congress & National Seminar of the Indonesian Ergonomics Association (PEI) 2024”. The event took place on (8-10/8) at Universitas Katolik Parahyangan, Bandung.

Muhammad Alif Basyariah, a representative of UII Industrial Engineering who is an assistant of the Work System Design and Ergonomics Laboratory (DSKE), presented a paper entitled “Ergonomic Car Seat Design with AI Integration”. The research raised innovative solutions in creating ergonomic car seat designs by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology, in order to increase the comfort and convenience of drivers in driving. This paper is a development of posters and essays that were successfully presented at the Ergo Camp event.

Alif shared the process he went through, from drafting the paper, preparing the journal for publication, to doing various presentation exercises. This research is the result of collaboration with the Big Project team, which consists of Alif’s colleagues, Hadi Ramadhan, Aji Adianta Firjatullah, and Reyhandi Rachmad Fadila Wicaksono. Not only that, Alif was also under the guidance of Chancard Basumerda, a lecturer in UII Industrial Engineering in the field of Ergonomics. 

“I am proud. Because it is also the first time to be the representative for the National Ergonomics Conference too. Then meet great people too. Leading lecturers at major universities, as well as ergonomics experts. So I got a lot of valuable insight,” said Alif.

He also gave a message of encouragement to other students. “Grow a sense of curiosity and a sense of wanting to achieve something. So how can you get something from that feeling.  Well, then, how do you prepare for it. Continue to be balanced with good time management anyway, because one of the factors may be that it is difficult for students now.”

This achievement is proof of the contribution of UII Industrial Engineering students in the development of ergonomics and technology. Hopefully this achievement will inspire other students to continue working and make the university proud in the national and international levels.
