Industrial Engineering UII Wins Silver Medal at AGREETION 2025

Another proud achievement has been made by the Industrial Engineering Department’s students, Faculty of Industrial Technology (FTI), Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII). They showcased their skills and came home with a Silver Medal at the prestigious AGREETION (Agritech Research and Entrepreneur Innovation) 2025, organized by the Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Universitas Brawijaya.

The competition focused on developing a solid business plan, with stages including the creation of a Business Model Canvas (BMC), proposal writing, and a final pitch in front of a panel of judges.

Representing UII, Ferdian Anugrah Pratama, along with teammates Ahmad Arro’uf Sulfuadi and Imam Baihaqi, presented a project titled “CORNOVA: Recycled Paper Innovation from Corn Husk and Paper Waste.” The project offers an innovative take on recycled paper using corn husks and paper waste, all built around a circular economy approach.

“This product is meant to replace conventional plastic and paper, especially in the Yogyakarta area. Our business model also involves local corn farmers, waste banks, and small businesses, while promoting community engagement,” Ferdian explained.

He added that the project is expected to be an initial step toward reducing landfill waste in Yogyakarta through the application of circular economy principles.

Behind the Scenes: Competition Journey

Sharing more about their journey, Ferdian said the team went through several stages. They started by brainstorming problems and solutions, ensuring their ideas met real needs. Then, they conducted product-market fit research to evaluate market potential and long-term sustainability.

“We also had to validate whether our idea truly matched market demand,” he explained. “One way we did this was by launching a small pilot project and receiving direct feedback from our academic advisor.”

The team received guidance from Dr. Dwi Adi Purnama, S.T., a lecturer in UII’s Industrial Engineering Department. He actively supported the idea development process throughout the competition.

At the end of the interview, Ferdian said the competition was both fun and challenging. The international scale gave him a great opportunity to sharpen his English communication skills. He also shared a message for other students who want to follow a similar path: “Don’t give up just because something fails the first time. One idea may not work now, but it might succeed in the future.”

Big congratulations to Ferdian and his team! Keep creating innovative and sustainable solutions for the environment and society.

“Initially, this idea was just a development of last year’s concept that won runner-up. By improving the shortcomings based on the jury’s suggestions, we managed to bring this innovation to a better level,” said Dhinar Elma Arifa.

They were also accompanied by their supervisor, Putri Dwi Annisa, S.T., M.Sc., who provided valuable input during the development process. “It was really exciting during the presentation and expo, especially when we were judged by Ir. Muhammad Ridwan Andi Purnomo, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., IPM who understands automation. I didn’t expect to win first place,” added Dhinar.

Their message to other students is, “Don’t be afraid to try! Winning is just a bonus, the most important thing is the experience and learning during the process.”

Second place: CHELMONT-EA

Winner 2nd place

The CHELMONT-EA group, consisting of Demas Rakha Freeporta, Mumtaz Fahd Rifmawan, Rizki Esa Putra Bijaksana, and Zahwa Putri Aghniya also from the Industrial Engineering department of UII, won second place with their innovation in the form of Chicken Feeder and Health Monitor with Egg Automation. This system integrates automatic feeder technology, chicken health sensor, and egg collecting conveyor to improve the efficiency of laying hen farms.

In an interview, Mumtaz Fahd, one of the team members, revealed that the idea to participate in LEVITASI stems from the success of CHELMONT-EA in the RSKE Big Project Laboratory activities. “We see that this product has great potential to be competed. With the support of our supervisor, Ratih Dianingtyas Kurnia, S.T., Ph.D., we decided to compete in LEVITASI again,” he said.

Sagarmatha Team Achieves Favorite Winner at OCEANO 2024

Sagarmatha team won the Favorite Winner award in the International Oil Rig Design Competition OCEANO 2024 Event. OCEANO 2024 itself is an event that aims to increase public awareness of the potential of global maritime resources through various series of competitions. The Faculty of Marine Technology, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (FTK ITS) organized the prestigious event. The competition with the theme “Pioneering innovative offshore oil platforms by enhancing structural and HSE aspects to maximize energy potential” was held for 3 days on 23-25 November 2024. 

The Sagarmatha team, consisting of Valendra Eril Erginansya, Khafiyya Aulia Istiadza, Dinda Meilia Rhepon, Manik Purbo Ulung, and Inggil Tahta Haritza, carried the concept of environmentally friendly oil rig design. They successfully created a mock-up of an oil rig to minimize oil pollution to the sea. In the competition, the mock-up must pass several stages, such as rig tests, floating tests, and motion tests with simulated artificial waves. At the rig test stage, the Sagarmatha Team’s mockup weighing 2 kg managed to support a load of up to 250 kg. However, they did not succeed in the floating test due to the unbalanced mockup design.

Preparation for this competition was challenging. From making accurate mock-ups and calculations to preparing presentations that illustrate the advantages of their designs. However, all of these challenges can be overcome well thanks to the guidance of FTI Industrial Engineering’s lecturers and mentors, namely Dian Janari, S.T., M.T., Diles Parel Lubis, S.T., M.T., and Putri Dwi Annisa, S.T., M.Sc. All three have a big role in achieving team success.

Ata, one of the Sagarmatha team members advised, “If the message from me is that maybe the friends are not interested in the competition. But when you participate for the first time, even though the results lose or win, you will definitely be addicted. So the key is to try first, to win or lose think later.” he said.

Congratulations to the Sagarmatha team for this achievement! Hopefully it will be an inspiration for the next generations.
