I’m excited to share that my team, An-Tech Jogja, won 1st Place at the BINUS International Design-A-Thon: Proto-A-Thon, where participants were challenged to research, design, validate, and present a solution within just 12 hours.

Our winning solution, CHILL (Cold-chain Handling Intelligence & Logistics Ledger), addresses one of Indonesia’s critical logistics challenges: maintaining product quality throughout the cold-chain distribution process.

CHILL is an intelligent cold-chain logistics platform that combines IoT sensors, RFID tracking, blockchain traceability, and a HACCP-based expert system to provide end-to-end visibility across the distribution journey. The platform enables logistics teams to monitor truck and product temperatures in real time, receive instant alerts when cold-chain conditions are compromised, maintain tamper-proof operational records, and leverage AI-assisted crisis response recommendations to reduce spoilage risk and improve supply chain accountability.

This achievement would not have been possible without an incredible team:

Hanifah Putri Ariani – Product Strategy & Business Development

Ken Bima Satria Gandasasmita – UX Research & UX Design

Muhammad Ruhul Jadid – UI Design & Prototyping

Competing in a live 12-hour challenge pushed us to make fast decisions, validate assumptions quickly, and transform complex operational problems into a user-centered solution. The experience reinforced how powerful collaboration can be when research, design, and business thinking come together.
