📅 On December 3rd, the 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗽 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗦𝗨𝗦) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 we have been carrying out for the past 4 years for the national weather agency of Indonesia (BMKG) has officially come to an end. What a ride it's been with one of our most faithful customers with whom we've been collaborating for the past 20 years 🎢!

🛣️ In 2012, BMKG selected MFI to undertake the 1st phase of their global strengthening project. It was successfully achieved over 3 years. In 2020, they renewed their confidence by entrusting us with the 2nd phase of this project. Its overall objective was to build on the deliverables of phase 1 to extend BMKG’s service capability, and to bring 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆. A real challenge in itself… not speaking about launching the project in the middle of the COVID 19 pandemic 😱!

💪🏻 Today, we're proud to say that we made it! Thanks to the SUS Project, Indonesia has become one of the most advanced countries in the field of 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. We delivered a complete forecasting & production chain at national and provincial levels. Quite a technical and organizational challenge given the configuration of the Indonesian territory stretched out across 3 time zones and composed of 34 provinces, each one expected to contribute to the national digital forecast and warning process!

⛅ The full man-machine mix is now operational with 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 across Indonesia collaborating daily to provide high-quality services to the population. MFI’s solution includes 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 which constitute a huge technological leap in terms of warning and protecting people and goods. By combining spatialized vulnerability data and met parameters, BMKG is now able to predict severe weather events and to assess their impact on infrastructures, people, their livelihoods,... This is a major asset for public authorities to be able to 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 and thereby provide better protection. In this regard, the SUS Project appears to be one of the first large-scale projects in the world to be compatible with the spirit of such a noble cause as the 𝗨𝗡 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲.

🙏🏻 We thank BMKG for its trust and long-term partnership over the past 2 decades. We will be at their side in 2025 through extensive technical support activities to ensure the sustainability of their investment and keep SUS Project deliverables in optimal operational conditions.
