Wintex is an international innovation competition organized by the Indonesian Invention and Innovation Promotion Association (Innopa). Participants must compete with their peers from state and private campuses in Indonesia, as well as entrants from overseas. 

Two works that received gold awards were in the categories of agriculture, livestock, horticulture, aquaculture, and fisheries, as well as textile and chemical industries. The first category, titled “Bios-Ory: Biofertilizer for Saline Paddy Fields” was chaired by Eka Junianti, with members Hamzah Syahid Al-Amjad and Putri Ramadani, all three from the Biology Department. The second category was titled “Naku Spray: Chitosan Nanoparticles of Kencana Ungu Leaf Extract As Antibacterials For Refrigerators” and was chaired by Maulana Nur Ardian (Food Science and Technology) with members Azizah Purwanti (Chemistry), Windasari (Mathematics), Imtiyazul Aghniya (Chemistry), and Resfanesya Kurnia Putri (Food Science and Technology). 

Meanwhile, the silver-winning team from the security system category had an entry entitled “Floodect: Innovation of Flood Detection System Based on Arduino Uno with Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 and GSM SIM 800L module” and was chaired by Nandi Maulani Nashruddin with members Alif Yudha Saputra, Tito Yudatama, Ajeng Cantika Saraswati, Karlina Nursyanti Oktaviani, Putri Suci Ramdani and Cahaya Rizky Sulaeman Putri, all from the Physics Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. 

Maulana Nur said the effort of the Unsoed student teams at this event was not easy. First of all, their works were selected in a preliminary stage and judged as to whether they are appropriate and can be presented to the jury. 

“Three Unsoed teams successfully presented their work to an international jury at the final stage. “We have to compete with 15 other countries, including Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam,” he told the media. 

He added, “The participation of Unsoed students in this event proves that Unsoed students can compete on an international scale and can motivate other students from various disciplines to continue to innovate and participate.” (*/est)
