Teknologi IoT dan Big Data Potensial Dikembangkan di Sektor Pertanian dan Kelautan

Indonesia belum sepenuhnya memaksimalkan pemanfaatan potensi konvergensi teknologi Internet of Thing (IoT) dan Big Data secara maksimal dalam mendukung percepatan perkembangan teknologi domestik, meningkatkan kemandiriannya dalam hal teknologi, dan mencapai pertumbuhan ekonomi yang berkelanjutan.  Padahal kedua teknologi ini dapat menciptakan solusi inovatif dan berdampak besar untuk banyak bidang karena memungkinkan pemantauan dan analisis data secara real time. “Teknologi IoT dapat digunakan dalam sektor pertanian dan kelautan untuk mengumpulkan data cuaca, kualitas tanah, atau kondisi laut yang kemudian dianalisis menggunakan Big Data untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dan ketahanan pangan,” ujar Dosen Departemen Elektronika dan Instrumentasi, Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam Universitas Gadjah Mada, Prof. Dr. techn. Ahmad Ashari, M.I.Kom., dalam pidato pengukuhan Guru Besar di Balai Senat, Selasa (25/6).

Dalam pidato yang berjudul Konvergensi Internet of Things dan Big Data, Manfaat dan Tantangannya, Ahmad Ashari menuturkan bahwa konvergensi ini juga akan mendukung perkembangan CPS atau Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) yang berbentuk pemantauan dan kendali real time, optimasi proses dan kinerja, prediksi dan perencanaan, keselamatan dan keamanan, serta fleksibilitas dan adaptabilitas.

Meskipun konvergensi keduanya memiliki potensi besar, ada beberapa tantangan yang dikemukakan oleh Ahmad yang perlu diatasi dalam mengintegrasikan keduanya. Salah satunya yaitu terkait data yang dihasilkan oleh perangkat IoT yang seringkali sensitif dan rentan terhadap serangan siber. “Perlindungan terhadap privasi dan keamanan data menjadi kunci, baik selama proses pengumpulan, penyimpanan, maupun analisis agar tidak dieksploitasi oleh pihak-pihak yang bermaksud jahat, untuk mencuri data atau mengganggu operasi sistem,” papar Ahmad.

Tantangan lainnya yaitu berkaitan dengan IoT yang menghasilkan volume data yang sangat besar, yang memerlukan infrastruktur dan kapasitas penyimpanan data yang cukup besar. Sehingga diperlukan biaya dan ketersediaan sumber daya komputasi yang memadai. Hambatan lainnya mencakup keterbatasan jaringan, masalah interoperabilitas, kebutuhan akan pemahaman yang mendalam, serta keterampilan teknis yang canggih.

Ahmad menegaskan bahwa untuk mengatasi tantangan-tantangan yang ada diperlukan pendekatan yang holistik dan komprehensif, termasuk pengembangan infrastruktur yang kuat, kebijakan dan praktik keamanan yang ketat, serta investasi dalam pengembangan keterampilan dan kapasitas tenaga kerja yang relevan. “Dengan mengatasi tantangan yang ada, konvergensi IoT dan Big Data dapat memberikan manfaat besar bagi organisasi dan masyarakat secara keseluruhan,” ucapnya.

Ketua Dewan Guru Besar UGM, Prof. Dr. Ir. Mochammad Maksum, M.Sc., turut memberikan pidato sambutan setelah mengalungkan samir Guru Besar pada Prof. Dr. techn. Ahmad Ashari, M.I.Kom. Dalam pidatonya, ia menyebutkan bahwa Prof. Ahmad Ashari adalah salah satu dari 460 guru besar aktif di Universitas Gadjah Mada, dan salah satu dari 42 guru besar aktif dari total 58 guru besar di FMIPA UGM.

Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery Innovation: Geophysics FMIPA UGM and Upstream Innovation PHE Research Collaboration Is Ready for Field Deployment

Geophysics UGM and Upstream Innovation PHE conducted initial field testing in 2023 (Photo: UGM Geophysics Research Team).

The collaboration between Geophysics FMIPA UGM and Upstream Innovation PHE in its third year through Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery innovation is poised to enter the field. This effort is aimed at supporting the government’s program to increase oil production targets by 1 million barrels by 2030 in Indonesia. The UGM Geophysics Research Team, along with Upstream Innovation PHE, actively contributes to achieving this goal.

“Through this research collaboration, our (FMIPA UGM) hope is to support the government’s target of 1 million barrels of oil production,” said Prof. Kuwat Triyana, Dean of FMIPA UGM, during the “Kickoff Meeting for the Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery Collaboration Study in 2024” held via online meeting on Monday, Jan 12th, 2024.

In 2023, initial field testing was conducted to assess the performance of the Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery equipment. By continually improving the quality of this equipment, the UGM Geophysics Research Team and Upstream Innovation PHE are confident that they are ready to enter the field for broader oil production in 2024.

“We appreciate the trust placed in us over the past few years. We continue to strive in the development of this Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery equipment to support the 1 million barrel production target in Indonesia,” said Dr. Afif Rakhman, head of the UGM Geophysics Research Team.

Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery is one of the supportive methods in oil exploitation by injecting high-powered direct current (DC) into reservoirs to enhance production. By installing anodes and cathodes at specific distances and configurations, the electric current can alter the physical properties of the rocks it passes through, facilitating the movement of oil beneath the earth’s surface. The equipment developed by this team also features remote control capabilities through the internet network.

“This developed technology is easily implementable due to its relatively simple installation process and online operation, making it more effective and efficient in terms of time and cost,” said Metrik Pradana, initiator of the Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery research from Upstream Innovation PHE.

The technological innovation built through collaboration between institutions and industry partners is an effort to support government programs, particularly in contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This research collaboration reflects point 9 – Infrastructure, Industry, and Innovation, through innovation in meeting the country’s energy needs, as well as point 17 – Partnerships to Achieve Goals, through collaborative efforts to meet the goal of national oil requirements production.

In 2023, initial field testing was conducted to assess the performance of the Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery equipment. By continually improving the quality of this equipment, the UGM Geophysics Research Team and Upstream Innovation PHE are confident that they are ready to enter the field for broader oil production in 2024.

“We appreciate the trust placed in us over the past few years. We continue to strive in the development of this Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery equipment to support the 1 million barrel production target in Indonesia,” said Dr. Afif Rakhman, head of the UGM Geophysics Research Team.

Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery is one of the supportive methods in oil exploitation by injecting high-powered direct current (DC) into reservoirs to enhance production. By installing anodes and cathodes at specific distances and configurations, the electric current can alter the physical properties of the rocks it passes through, facilitating the movement of oil beneath the earth’s surface. The equipment developed by this team also features remote control capabilities through the internet network.

“This developed technology is easily implementable due to its relatively simple installation process and online operation, making it more effective and efficient in terms of time and cost,” said Metrik Pradana, initiator of the Electrically Enhanced Oil Recovery research from Upstream Innovation PHE.

The technological innovation built through collaboration between institutions and industry partners is an effort to support government programs, particularly in contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This research collaboration reflects point 9 – Infrastructure, Industry, and Innovation, through innovation in meeting the country’s energy needs, as well as point 17 – Partnerships to Achieve Goals, through collaborative efforts to meet the goal of national oil requirements production.
