Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) has launched a new initiative called Packaging Design House to provide innovative and inventive solutions for the packaging branding needs of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The launch was held on Wednesday, 8 February 2023, at the ITS Research Center Building in conjunction with the 5th anniversary of the Department of Visual Communication Design. The event was attended by ITS’ Vice-Rector for Research, Innovation, Cooperation, and Alumni and the Dean of the Faculty of Creative Design and Digital Business.

ITS’ Packaging Design House is an extension of ITS’ 1,000 Packaging Design Community Service Program that was launched last year. The head of ITS’ Packaging Design House, Mr. Sayatman, explains that the program aims to offer packaging design and branding development services for MSMEs to enhance the selling value of their products and support their growth in Indonesia. The services provided by ITS’ Packaging Design House include not only packaging design but also training programs and mentoring for MSMEs.

Additionally, the Packaging Design House plans to provide tools and machines that can produce packaging on an MSME production scale in the future. The objective of ITS’ Packaging Design House is to support MSMEs with the necessary skills, knowledge, and tools to create eye-catching and effective packaging designs that will help them stand out in a competitive market. With this initiative, ITS is committed to empowering MSMEs and contributing to the growth of Indonesia’s economy.

The Nogogeni ITS team, known for producing energy-efficient cars from Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), has once again triumphed at the 2022 Energy-Efficient Car Competition (Kontes Mobil Hemat Energi). The team, which represents ITS at the competition, emerged victorious in the Urban Concept Electric Motor category. The announcement was made on Thursday (3/11/2022), following the final round of the competition.

This annual competition is held by the National Achievement Center (Pusat Prestasi Nasional) by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. The General Manager of the Nogogeni Team, Ghalib Fakhrizal explained that the competition requires participants to build cars with the best possible fuel efficiency. After two years of being held online, the KMHE 2022 was held on-site, located in Surabaya, at the Gelora Bung Tomo Circuit (GBT) to be precise.

Since 2015, Ghalib’s Nogogeni team has consistently participated in the Energy-Efficient Car Competition, winning awards in various categories each year. From 2019 to 2022, the team won first place in the Urban Concept Electric Motor category for four consecutive years. This year, the team competed with their Nogogeni VII Evo flagship car in the Urban Concept vehicle category, specifically in the Electric Motor energy class. The competition challenged participants to design a four-wheeled vehicle that is energy-efficient and suitable for street driving, with the race requiring the car to complete eight laps in 25 minutes.

According to Ghalib, the Nogogeni VII Evo was designed to be more aerodynamic and lightweight in order to achieve greater efficiency, which are the two primary factors in its success. The car was evaluated based on its ability to save energy and complete the race quickly, and it finished in under 25 minutes with an energy efficiency rating of 186.56 kilometers per kilowatt hour. As a result, the Nogogeni ITS Team was named the champion of the competition in its category, and Ghalib expressed hope that they will be able to maintain this title in the coming years.

Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) has carved another achievement in the field of robotics and crowned the grand champion in the Kontes Robot Indonesia (KRI), the national robot contest, on July 3rd, 2022, after snapping five winnings in five out of six categories.

KRI is a reputable annual Indonesian robotic contest for students in the field of robot design and engineering held by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. It offers six contest divisions, including the Indonesian ABU Robot, SAR robot, wheeled-soccer robot, humanoid-soccer robot, dance robot, and thematic robot contest. The 2022 KRI was hosted by ITS and participated by 313 teams from 114 universities.

ITS teams proudly brought home four gold and one bronze medals and several awards in the best strategy for humanoid and the wheeled-robot categories. ITS team IRIS collected the gold medals from the Soccer Robot (Wheeled) Contest category, ICHIRO from the Soccer Robot (Humanoid) Contest category, RIVAL, which won the Thematic Robot Contest category, and RIDER team for the category of ABU Indonesia Robot contest. Meanwhile, the bronze medal was presented by ABINARA-1, which won SAR Robot Contest category.

In addition, IRIS, ICHIRO, and RIDER teams were awarded Best Strategy. Team RIVAL was awarded Best Design. The winning was even more remarkable; it made ITS the grand champion for five consecutive years and brought home the back-to-back trophy.
