Indonesia's cooperative kicks off smart phone production

Jumping on the bandwagon of local cell phone production, newly-founded cooperative Koperasi Digital Indonesia Mandiri (KDIM) on Friday started the production of a locally built smartphone under the brand of Digicoop.
The smartphone is set to bolster the domestic cell phone market currently dominated by big players, especially foreign manufacturers.
The initial model comes with a 4.7 inch-screen, a 1.5 Ghz quadcore processor, 1 GB of RAM, two cameras, two SIM card slots and 4G LTE compatibility.
Unlike commercially distributed phones, this smartphone can only be obtained by becoming a member of the cooperative via its website, after which one needs to pay Rp 100,000 (US$7.48) per month for one year. Delivery occurs after two month of subscription.
KDIM chairman Henry Kasyfi Soemartono said the cooperative would produce 5,000 units in the initial phase, with pre-orders currently running at 1,500 units.
Henry further said the basic idea of the cooperative was to maximize people’s power to create a strong local information technology business.
“A cooperative is the ideal format for crowdfunding in Indonesia,” said Henry during the event to kick off production. “It is neutral and everybody has the same say. It also provides benefits to its members.”
KDIM was set up in June last year by the Associations of Indonesian Internet Providers (APJII) and Indonesian Information and Telecommunications Society (Mastel).
It aims to bring the cooperative format to Indonesia’s information technology (IT) business currently saturated by giants.
The cell phone is the result of collaboration with a team of experts from the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) and is made in the factory of electronics manufacturer PT VS Technology in Cikarang, West Java.
Indonesia has seen its domestic phone industry rise in recent years, with some manufacturers, like Polytron, already running local factories.
Communications and Information Technology Minister Rudiantara, who was present during the event, said the economic model of a cooperative could be a solution for the IT business, including the ride-sharing business based on mobile phone applications.
“The Uber and Grab Car drivers need entities to operate, while both companies have yet to register as transportation companies. So, we’ve suggested that they form cooperatives for the drivers,” he said.

Rudiantara said the government would support the development of KDIM, such as by facilitating synergy with cooperatives for ride-sharing.
Henry said KDIM had ambitions beyond smartphone-making, namely to buy a satellite and run an internet provider business. To do this, members interested in participating in the satellite purchase could deposit Rp 5 million and in return access internet for free for a lifetime.
“We need to find at least 500,000 people who want to participate, so that we can buy a satellite for the people,” Henry said, adding that a satellite would cost between $200 million to 250 million.
The plan would materialize in the next three years as preparations were still underway, he added.
Based on the latest APJII survey, Indonesia has 132.6 million internet users, the highest number in Southeast Asia and the fourth-highest globally. Half of its more than 260 million population still cannot access the Internet.
KDIM digital equipment head Teguh Prasetya said KDIM was preparing for designs for middle and high-end models. In the meantime, the cooperative tried to increase its local content, including applications, from 20.2 percent at present to 30 percent by the end of this year.

With the supply of aluminum from Inalum, aluminum imports in the automotive industry sector can be reduced gradually so as to have a positive impact. (Photo: INALUM)
Jakarta, CNN Indonesia - Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia Asahan Aluminum (Persero) or Inalum related to the use of aluminum as raw material for rim production for Toyota cars.
The agreement was signed between the two companies on Thursday (2/14), which was represented by Inalum President Director Budi Gunadi Sadikin and TMMIN Warih President Director Andang Tjahjono.
Budi said that this agreement was part of the government's plan to reduce imports from the automotive sector.

Indonesian Toyota Exports Rise, Fortuner and Best-Selling Avanza "This step is one form of Inalum as the holding company of the mining industry in carrying out the government's mandate for downstreaming aluminum products, one of which is by encouraging an increase in the national automotive industry through the use of aluminum products that we produce," Budi said through an official statement on Friday (2/15) )
Budi explained that Inalum has the prospect of supplying up to 150 MT per month of Aluminum Foundry Alloy (A365 aluminum alloy) to Pakoakunia (PAKO) which is a rim supplier company for Indonesian automotive manufacturers. This number is targeted to continue to increase.
Meanwhile Warih said that this cooperation had a major impact on the national automotive sector, especially increasing the percentage level of domestic content for automotive products, to 'resilient' against the rupiah exchange rate.
"In turn, it can increase competitiveness (national competitiveness) of the industry," said Warih.
Warih continued in the initial stages, Inalum will supply the needs of aluminum which will then be used for the production of Toyota Kijang Innova, Fortuner and Sienta rims.
Warih added that the supply of Aluminum Foundry Alloy will continue to be added gradually in line with Inalum's ability to supply aluminum. While Inalum's ability to produce Aluminum Foundry Alloy for rim is supported by a production capacity of 90 thousand tons per year.
With the supply of aluminum from Inalum, the import of Aluminum Foundry Alloy in the automotive industry sector can be reduced gradually so as to have a positive impact in the form of potential foreign exchange savings of US $ 1.3 million per year at an early stage because the supply of aluminum is only absorbed by Toyota branded TMMIN production vehicles.
In the future, this number is expected to increase significantly. (ryh / mik)

Indonesia signs LOI with PT Pindad for Kaplan medium tanks
Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore and Samuel Cranny-Evans, London - Jane's Defence Weekly
22 April 2019

Indonesia has reaffirmed its interest in acquiring the Kaplan MT Modern Medium Weight Tank (MMWT) developed by Turkish company FNSS Savunma Sistemleri and Indonesian land systems company PT Pindad.
On 12 April the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Jakarta signed a letter of intent (LOI) with PT Pindad for the procurement of up to 20 Kaplan MTs - known locally as the Harimau - for USD135 million, an MoD source told Jane's on 18 April.
A contract is expected to be signed within one or two years once funding for the acquisition becomes available, said the source, pointing out that funding will come from the defence budget, a foreign defence credit, or a mixture of both.
"Now that the LOI is signed, the MoD will make a formal request for funds [for the Kaplan acquisition] in the next defence budget," said the source, adding that delivery of the tanks is expected to take place within three years of the contract being signed.
The signing of the LOI comes after Turkey's state-owned Anadolu Agency (AA) had quoted Nail Kurt, the general manager of Turkey's FNSS, as saying in September 2018 that the tank was ready for mass production after having passed qualification tests with the Indonesian Army.
The tank successfully underwent almost three months of trials designed to test its durability and lethality, Kurt told the media outlet at the time.
As Jane's previously reported, the MMWT programme is supported by an inter-governmental agreement between Indonesia and Turkey that was signed in November 2014. Work on the project started shortly after, with two prototypes and one hull for mine testing being produced by 2017.
FNSS unveiled the first MMWT prototype at the 2017 International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) in Turkey.

Indonesia launches first locally assembled submarine

Key Points
- Indonesia has finally launched its first-ever locally assembled naval submarine
- Launch has been long-delayed by silting issues at PT PAL's facilities in Surabaya
The vessel, which will be in service as KRI Alugoro (405) once commissioned, was launched on 11 April at PT PAL's Semarang Dock in Surabaya Indonesia.
While third-in-class overall, Alugoro is the first-ever submarine to be assembled in Indonesia. Its assembly was done in collaboration with engineers from South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) as part of a technology transfer programme.
As reported by Jane's on multiple occasions, Alugoro was originally scheduled to be launched at PT PAL's purpose-built submarine launch facility along Jalan Letnan Supriadi as early as October 2018. However, the location was found to have become too shallow owing to sedimentary deposits.
The submarine was subsequently transferred to the company's Semarang Dock, located about 750 m away, via a 300-foot intermediary barge in March 2019. This is the same location where PT PAL has launched larger naval ships, such as the Philippine Navy's strategic sealift vessels (SSVs).
Alugoro is part of a KRW1.3 trillion (USD1.2 billion) contract signed between DSME and the Indonesian Ministry of Defence in December 2011 for three SSKs. The vessel derives its design from the Republic of Korea Navy's (RoKN's) Chang Bogo-class boats.
First-of-class KRI Nagapasa (403) was commissioned in August 2017, while second boat, Ardadedali (404), was handed over to the Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) in 2018.
The Nagapasa class has an overall length of 61.2 m, an overall beam of 6.25 m, and a hull draught of 5.5 m. It is powered by four MTU 12V 493 diesel generators, and has a contracted top speed of 21.5 kt when dived, and 11 kt when surfaced.

Pindad, FNSS sign tank production agreement

Indonesia's PT Pindad and Turkish company FNSS Savunma Sistemleri - a joint venture between Turkey's Nurol Holding and BAE Systems - have signed an agreement to support the serial production of the Kaplan MT Modern Medium Weight Tank (MMWT).
A "mass production contract" for the tank, which the two companies have developed since 2015, was signed at the IDEF defence and aerospace show in Istanbul, which ended 3 May, Turkey's Presidency for Defence Industries (SSB) said in a statement.
The SSB announced that the new agreement will support the production of Kaplan tanks for the Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MoD). "Within the scope of this project the Ministry of Defence of Indonesia issued a series of production plans for 18 medium weight tanks," it said.
These plans relate to the signing of a letter of intent (LOI) on 12 April between the MoD and PT Pindad. Jane's has previously reported that this LOI was for the Indonesian Army's procurement of up to 20 Kaplan tanks for USD135 million. A contract is expected to be signed within the next year.
The SSB did not provide additional details about the new agreement but it is likely to relate to the transfer of technologies and know-how to PT Pindad to facilitate production of the tank in Indonesia.
The Kaplan tank programme is supported by an inter-government agreement signed by Indonesia and Turkey in November 2014.
Work on the project started shortly after, with two prototypes and one hull for mine testing produced by 2017. FNSS unveiled the first MMWT prototype at the IDEF exhibition in Turkey in May 2017. Tests on the tank were completed by late 2018.

Indonesia's N219 On Track for 2019 Certification
by Jennifer Meszaros
- March 29, 2019, 9:07 AM

Indonesia’s principal aircraft manufacturer, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI), continues to edge closer to Indonesian certification of its 19-seat N219 multi-purpose utility turboprop after its second prototype completed its fourth test flight on March 28. PTDI director of production Arie Wibowo told AIN the aircraft took off from Husein Sastranegara International Airport in Bandung, West Java and flew for approximately two hours before landing smoothly.
PTDI uses two N219 prototypes for its flight-test program; another two serve as full-scale static and fatigue structural test articles. Widobo said the company hopes to gain Indonesian certification for the turboprop by the end of the year.
Designed for a cruise speed of 190 knots and a stall speed of 59 knots, the N219 features a Garmin G1000 avionics suite and two 850-shp Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42 engines driving Hartzell four-blade propellers. Uses include passenger and cargo services, troop transport, military surveillance, search and rescue, as well as medevac operations in remote regions with short, rugged airstrips. Priced at between $5.8 million and $6 million, the N219 sells for a slightly lower price than its main competitor, the Viking DHC-6 Twin Otter.
“The N219 aircraft answers the needs of Indonesia, particularly in the East as well as other remote locations in Southeast Asia,” Widobo told AIN. “With a competitive price tag, it is the right alternative compared to similar aircraft on the market.”
PTDI has secured two launch customers—the government of Aceh in North Sumatra and the government of Papua in Indonesia’s easternmost province—and has amassed letters of intent (LoI) covering 120 aircraft. LoI signees include PT Avistar Mandiri, Lion Air, Trigana Air Service, Nusantara Buana Air, Pelita Air, Air Born, and the government of Thailand. Madagascar, Congo, Senegal, and Norway have also signaled interest due to the aircraft’s STOL abilities.
As PTDI edges toward Indonesian certification, plans call for production to increase modestly from six aircraft in 2019 to 16 in 2020 and 36 units each year thereafter. Once the aircraft achieves certification, PTDI plans to build a new facility to increase the company’s production capacity. The new plant, estimated to cost $119 million, will produce an N219 military aircraft and possibly an amphibian version.
