Currently, Aspekpir has 15 Regional Representative Councils (Dewan Perwakilan Daerah, DDP) in Indonesia, with 9 of these councils located in palm oil-producing provinces with PIR schemes. Additionally, IAT has formed partnerships with 7 of these provinces, namely Aceh / Bengkulu / Lampung, North Sumatra, Riau, Jambi, West Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, and Central Kalimantan. As a major contributor to the global palm oil supply, Indonesia's industry holds significant importance in food production, biofuels, and cosmetics.
IAT offers palm oil quality detection tools to analyse various materials such as palm fruit, FFB, EFB, CPO/PKO, palm kernels, pressed fiber, and production waste. One of the outstanding tools is the IAS-6100, which is compact and portable, making it ideal for diverse settings, including offices, production sites, laboratories, and plantations. IAT's entry into the palm oil industry this year represents a strategic move to enhance quality testing methods, replacing traditional processes with faster and more efficient alternatives.
"Before entering the oil palm sector, we conducted extensive research to determine precise testing parameters. With advanced research capabilities and experienced personnel, the IAS-6100 achieves an accuracy rate exceeding 95%. Regular calibration can further enhance this accuracy to 100%. The tool enables quick decision-making at the management level by delivering results in a matter of minutes," said Edi Hariyanto, Indonesia Sales Manager at IAT.
The IAS-6100 employs cutting-edge technology, including a spectral engine, DMD digital micromirror scanning, and next-generation circuit boards. Its features include compact design for flexibility, fast and non-destructive testing for precise data, wide applicability across multiple industries, user-friendly operation with minimal manual intervention, and environmentally friendly testing processes that eliminate the need for chemical pre-treatment.
