Overall this event is very interesting because it shows the results of improvement and innovation from various companies ranging from automotive, mining, banking, hospitals, plantations, pharmaceuticals, as well as other food and beverage companies. The fourth day was filled with industrial and tourist visits, industrial visits carried out to PT Indo Acidatama then tour visits to the Sangiran Museum, De Tjoelomade, Atsiri House etc. After that the event continued with a dinner together and closed with the Award and Closing Ceremony. On the award night, the Garudafood Team won 1 Platinum Medal and 3 Gold Medals. Platinum winner is SGA PSPD Excellent from BU Gresik, one of the improvements that amazed the jury because it successfully implemented the industry 4.0 concept through a scada-based automatic monitoring application that is connected to the internet to facilitate monitoring and process control. Gold medalists were SS Happy & Syahril from BU Gresik and SGA Silo and SS Bayu & Hasan from BU Pati Roasted. Congratulations to the Winners and See you at GAIN 2020 and TKMPN Lombok 2020.
