APEKS at PPLPI Indonesia: GNSS RTK Laser Workshop Presentation
APEKS Indonesia was invited to present at the PPLPI (Perhimpunan Petugas Laboratorium Pendidikan Indonesia) national workshop and MUNAS IV congress, held August 27–29, 2026 at Rinjani Ballroom, Lombok Raya Hotel, Mataram. The session — "Precision Mapping Using GNSS RTK Technology with Laser Features" — was presented by Aryan Hadiyana alongside speakers from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, and BNSP-certified assessors, covering practical demonstration of the MAX5 + AP40 Laser+ + CS3i configuration to laboratory technicians and field professionals across Indonesia.
1. About PPLPI and the National Workshop
PPLPI (Perhimpunan Petugas Laboratorium Pendidikan Indonesia — the Indonesian Association of Educational Laboratory Personnel) hosted its 2026 National Workshop, Training, Competency Certification, and 4th National Congress (MUNAS IV) from August 27 to 29, 2026, at the Rinjani Ballroom, Lombok Raya Hotel in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).
The national event commenced with an opening speech by H. Sofyan, S.Si., M.Si., General Chairman of PPLPI, and brought together key institutional partners including LSP PLJ Jaya and BNSP (Badan Nasional Sertifikasi Profesi — the Indonesian National Professional Certification Agency). The convention was targeted at laboratory directors, laboratory heads, technical supervisors, and field research personnel across Indonesian educational, research, and vocational institutions.
2. The Session: Precision Mapping with GNSS RTK Laser Features
APEKS Indonesia's technical session, titled "Pemetaan Presisi Menggunakan Teknologi GNSS RTK Dengan Fitur Laser (Teori dan Praktek)" (Precision Mapping Using GNSS RTK Technology with Laser Features: Theory and Practice), was delivered by Aryan Hadiyana, S.T. The technical presentation was featured on the official congress agenda alongside distinguished academic and industry leaders from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, and PT. Geoprima, providing a comprehensive blend of theoretical geodetic principles and practical hands-on field instruction.
3. Live Demonstration: MAX5 + AP40 Laser+ + CS3i
During the live technical session, the presentation detailed the operational strengths of the APEKS flagship Base and Rover configuration:
- APEKS MAX5 Super Base: Features an integrated 5W UHF LoRa radio delivering up to a 25 km transmission baseline without requiring an external radio amplifier, paired with free Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) correction licensing and an integrated touchscreen interface.
- APEKS AP40 Laser+ Rover: Incorporates a calibrated green laser rangefinder for non-contact point capture, dual-camera visual AR stakeout, 120° calibration-free IMU tilt compensation, and a lightweight handheld form factor.
- Interactive Field Practice: Attendees participated in live hardware demonstrations, examining internal antenna configurations, camera sensor operation, and field controller interfaces used during real-time RTK positioning.
4. Exhibition Booth: APEKS Indonesia with Geocal Mapping Solution
In addition to the auditorium presentation, APEKS Indonesia maintained a dedicated exhibition booth at the congress venue, organized and hosted in partnership with local authorized distributor Geocal Mapping Solution.
The booth showcased the complete MAX5 + AP40 Laser + CS3i kit — matching the proven high-precision surveying combination deployed by enterprise contractors worldwide (see our MAX5 + AP40 Laser + CS3i Field Evaluation). The booth also displayed essential field accessories, including heavy-duty surveying tripods, carbon fiber rover poles, and protective field equipment, with supporting accessory brands like Sokkia and Topcon displayed in the backdrop.
5. Why This Matters: Academic and Government Recognition
Being invited to present at a national congress backed by BNSP and academic institutions like Universiti Malaysia Terengganu and UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta highlights the growing institutional recognition of APEKS GNSS technology across Southeast Asia.
Indonesia represents a primary geomatics market for APEKS, where local infrastructure demands robust hardware compatible with national reference datums like SRGI2013 and national CORS networks like InaCORS. This workshop presentation underscores APEKS' dedication to empowering local Indonesian surveyors, laboratory engineers, and academic researchers with open-ecosystem, non-geofenced RTK positioning tools.
