Indonesian university students develop app to streamline machine repair reporting

Students from Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika (UBSI) have successfully developed and implemented a digital solution to enhance operational efficiency at PT Jembo Cable Company Tbk. The newly introduced web-based application, DIGI-WOM (Digitalisasi Pelaporan Kerusakan Mesin Produksi melalui Sistem Work Order Maintenance), aims to revolutionize the process of reporting production machine damage.

Previously, PT Jembo Cable relied on a manual system using ledgers to document machine malfunctions. DIGI-WOM replaces this outdated method by allowing foremen and supervisors in production areas to report damages in real-time via tablet devices. This immediate notification system ensures that the maintenance team receives alerts instantly, enabling quicker and more effective repairs without the delays associated with manual administrative processes.

Digitalization through the DIGI-WOM application greatly helps speed up responses to machine damage in the production area. Furthermore, this system makes it easier for the company to store damage history more neatly so it can be used as material for evaluation and future decision-making.

The development team at UBSI employed the Waterfall methodology, ensuring a systematic approach from needs analysis and system design to development, testing, and implementation. The DIGI-WOM application also features progress monitoring, allowing technicians to update the status of repair work from initial reporting to completion.

Muhamad Ramzy Raihan, representing PT Jembo Cable Company Tbk, expressed strong appreciation for the students' innovation. He highlighted that the digital system significantly speeds up responses to machine damage and provides a more organized way to store historical damage data, which will be invaluable for future evaluations and decision-making. The project, which served as a final assignment for the students, was seen as a valuable opportunity to apply their academic knowledge to a real-world industrial challenge, ultimately providing a much-needed solution for the company.

For us, developing DIGI-WOM was not just about fulfilling a final assignment, but it was an opportunity to provide a solution that the company truly needed. We hope this application can help simplify the reporting and maintenance process and provide long-term benefits for the operations of PT Jembo Cable Company Tbk.
