Under the theme “Technology Transformation and Innovation for Sustainable Palm Oil” the 2025 Palm Oil Technical Meeting (PTKS 2025) kicked off successfully. As the Indonesian palm oil industry grapples with increasingly complex global challenges—from advancing sustainable practices and enhancing production efficiency to meeting international demands for eco-friendly products—this event serves as a vital platform for stakeholders to collaborate, share innovations, and chart a path for sustainable growth, as emphasized by the Palm Oil Research Centre.

Among the key participants driving industry progress at PTKS 2025 is IAS, a leading provider of near-infrared (NIR) technology solutions. At its booth, IAS showcased two cutting-edge instruments tailored to address the palm oil sector’s critical needs: the IAS-6100 Portable Near-Infrared analyzer and the IAS-PAT L1M On-line Near-Infrared analyzer.

The IAS-6100 portable analyzer stands out for its versatility and precision, designed to thrive in diverse environments across palm oil production chains. Its compact design enables on-site testing—whether in fields, factories, or laboratories—allowing rapid and accurate analysis of key parameters in crude palm oil, palm kernels, palm kernel meal, and production waste. From free fatty acids and moisture to DOBI and oil content, the IAS-6100 delivers real-time insights, empowering producers to make timely quality control decisions and optimize processes.

The IAS-PAT L1M on-line analyzer integrates seamlessly into production lines, enabling continuous, real-time monitoring of critical quality metrics. By providing instant data on parameters like moisture and oil content during processing, it allows for immediate adjustments to production workflows, ensuring consistency, reducing waste, and enhancing overall efficiency—all pivotal for meeting sustainable production goals.

IAS’s participation in PTKS 2025 underscores its commitment to supporting the palm oil industry’s transformation through innovation. By offering these advanced NIR solutions, IAS aims to equip stakeholders with the tools needed to elevate productivity, ensure product quality, and align with global sustainability standards. As the industry navigates evolving challenges, IAS’s technologies stand as a testament to how innovation can drive a more sustainable and prosperous future for palm oil.
