The Indonesian Teknokrat University (UTI) is developing technology to help farmers in Lampung.
Most recently, a UTI-student named Ahmad Efendi Saputra succeeded in creating the Internet of Things (IoT) to speed up rice sowing.
Ahmad even immediately carried out a trial involving the Tunas Harapan Farmers Group, Gunungterang Village, Bandarlampung, recently.
Apart from helping farmers, Ahmad developed IoT to complete his thesis.
The Computer Engineering students were supervised directly by Dr. Si Dedi Darwis, M.Kom. Meanwhile the examiner was S. Samsugi Meng.
According to Dedi, the technology being developed can help farmer groups speed up the sowing period for rice seeds.
„Hopefully the Computer Engineering Study Program can continue to increase its contribution to society.“ „Thank you, Teknokrat Education Foundation, chancellor, dean of FTIK, for the support that has been given,“ said Dedi in his written statement, quoted Thursday (10/8/2023).
Meanwhile, UTI Vice Chancellor Dr. H. Mahathir Muhammad, S.E., M.M., welcomes the thesis, which is considered useful in helping farmers.
He also hopes, dass all UTI-Students theses will come from real needs in the field.
Because according to him, this shows that all Teknorat students are able to write and develop theses that suit the needs of society.
„So students’ knowledge while on campus has a broad impact.“ „We want the approach to future student scientific work to be better and more grounded, so that the benefits are felt by the wider community“, said Dr. Mahathir.
