Banda Aceh, October 16, 2025<\/strong> \u2013 A group of students from the Informatics Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Syiah Kuala (FMIPA-USK) consisting of Rafli Afriza Nugraha, Ahmad Syah Ramadhan, Irfan Rizadi, Athar Rayyan Muhammad, and Khalisha Adzraini Arif<\/strong> under the supervision of Mr. Maulyanda, S.Tr.Kom., M.Kom.<\/strong>, has successfully conducted a Training and Knowledge Transfer Program<\/strong> for PERUMDAM Tirta Daroy Banda Aceh<\/strong> as part of the Student Creativity Program Application of Science and Technology (PKM-PI) 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program carries the theme \u201cDigitalization of PDAM Water Management in Banda Aceh: Implementation of Smart Water Meter and Machine Learning for Optimizing Water Distribution.\u201d<\/em> The initiative aims to apply Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning technologies in local water management systems, making water distribution more efficient, transparent, and sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training, held at the PERUMDAM Tirta Daroy office, began with the introduction of the IoT-based Smart Water Meter<\/strong>, a sensor-equipped device capable of monitoring customer water usage data in real-time. The student team demonstrated the device\u2019s operating principles, sensor calibration process, and data monitoring using their custom-built Flowin<\/strong> system. Field trials were also conducted to ensure the tool\u2019s accuracy, which now reaches nearly 100 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session then continued with the introduction of the Flowin digital platform<\/strong>, designed with three user interfaces: customer, administrator, and technician. Through its interactive dashboard, PERUMDAM staff can monitor water usage patterns, detect anomalies, and manage customer complaints in an integrated system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This data-driven ecosystem allows information to flow seamlessly across departments, enabling faster and more informed decision-making. Additionally, the Informatics students implemented a machine learning model<\/strong> within Flowin to support predictive analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The model helps forecast customer water consumption trends, detect leakage patterns, and assist PERUMDAM in optimizing network efficiency and production planning. By combining IoT and artificial intelligence, the team successfully delivered a practical and adaptive technological solution for the digital transformation of Banda Aceh\u2019s water management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure sustainability, the students handed over the Flowin Partner Handbook<\/strong> to PERUMDAM Tirta Daroy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The handbook includes detailed technical guidelines for device usage, system operation, and maintenance procedures enabling PERUMDAM staff to independently manage the system after the program\u2019s completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arief Rahman, S.Kom.<\/strong>, a representative from PERUMDAM Tirta Daroy, expressed his appreciation for the students\u2019 innovative work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe application you developed both in terms of interface and functionality is already excellent for customers, administrators, and technicians. We can further collaborate to synchronize its database and workflow with our internal system. The IoT device\u2019s accuracy is already close to 100 percent, needing only minor calibration for optimal results,\u201d said Arief.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Team leader Rafli Afriza Nugraha<\/strong> emphasized that the activity was more than just a technical workshop it was a tangible contribution of university knowledge to the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe hope Flowin can be the first step toward digital transformation in Banda Aceh\u2019s water management. Through this collaboration, we look forward to integrating Flowin into PERUMDAM Tirta Daroy\u2019s operational system for real implementation,\u201d Rafli stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This initiative marks a significant milestone in the implementation of PKM-PI USK 2025<\/strong>, which highlights not only technological innovation but also the continuity of application through training and partner mentoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward, the Informatics students of FMIPA-USK plan to continue their collaboration with PERUMDAM Tirta Daroy to integrate Flowin with the company\u2019s data infrastructure paving the way toward smart, efficient, and sustainable water management in Banda Aceh.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
