The education unit of the Indonesian Ministry of Industry, Politeknik APP Jakarta, welcomed a group of learners from the Timor Leste Ministry of Education.

"The vocational education units under Kemenperin, which include polytechnics, community academies, and vocational schools, each have their own specialties to prepare graduates who are skilled in various industrial sectors. For logistics, Politeknik APP Jakarta offers relevant study programs," said Masrokhan, Head of the Human Resource Development Agency for Industry (BPSMI), in a statement in Jakarta on Tuesday (August 13). The visit aimed to dive deeper into Warehouse Management Systems, warehouse digitalization, and other logistics fields. The Timor Leste delegation also got hands-on experience using the SAP Business One application, which has numerous functions for managing all logistics aspects. Politeknik APP Jakarta has integrated Warehouse Management System learning through its Smart Factory, giving students a glimpse into the work environment in logistics and warehousing. The Smart Warehouse concept serves as a learning tool for industry 4.0 in this sector, preparing human resources to be tech-savvy in line with the vision of Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita.

This smart warehouse is equipped with a Product Validation Barcode to verify the authenticity of the products," said A.R. Arie Wicaksono, Director of Politeknik APP Jakarta, while welcoming the Timor Leste delegation.

Additionally, Arie wishes for this visit to open doors for educational collaboration between nations. "I hope that the theoretical and practical knowledge gained from this short training for the Timor Leste Ministry of Education's logistics division can be put into action to boost logistics management efficiency, especially in the Warehouse Management System (WMS) in Timor Leste," he said.
