Jakarta, INTI – 10, September, 2025 Flooding remains the most frequent natural disaster in Indonesia, with widespread impacts on communities and the economy. Data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) recorded more than 1,200 flood incidents between January and August 2024, making it the most common disaster in the country. As floods often strike suddenly and cause significant losses, technological solutions that enable faster detection and early warning are becoming increasingly urgent. Addressing this challenge, Synapsis has introduced its latest innovation, Nearon IoT, a flood warning technology powered by IoT Gateway, showcased in Jakarta on Wednesday, 10, Sept, 2025.
The Challenge of Floods and the Need for Early Warning
Floods not only submerge residential areas but also disrupt transportation, cut off logistics supply chains, and paralyze critical infrastructure such as roads, ports, and industrial zones. The resulting economic losses can reach trillions of rupiah.
One of the main obstacles in flood management has long been delayed information. Field data is often only available after disasters have already escalated, leaving very little time for mitigation. Yet every minute lost can determine lives saved and reduce material losses.
Nearon IoT: Real-Time Detection Technology
Synapsis presents Nearon IoT as a solution for faster and more reliable early warnings. By integrating smart sensors, real-time monitoring, and multi-channel notification systems, the device can deliver alerts within seconds when flood risks increase.
“Floods often come unexpectedly, and if mitigation is delayed, the damage multiplies. Nearon IoT is here to close the gap between changes in conditions and the actions taken,” said Randi Ritvaldi, CEO of Synapsis. He emphasized that the technology is designed not only for government agencies but also for industries operating in flood-prone areas.
Technology Demonstration and Public Benefits
During its official introduction, Synapsis demonstrated a flood simulation using Nearon IoT sensors. Water level data was transmitted instantly to the dashboard, triggering automatic alerts. This mechanism provides users with valuable time to prepare mitigation measures before conditions worsen.
The introduction of Nearon IoT is expected to become a milestone in developing Indonesia’s disaster early warning systems. The technology offers great potential to strengthen community preparedness while minimizing the socio-economic impacts of increasingly complex floods.
Conclusion
With Nearon IoT, Synapsis delivers a tangible technological solution for flood early warning. This innovation highlights the importance of prioritizing prevention through efficient real-time systems, rather than relying solely on post-disaster response. If adopted widely, Nearon IoT has the potential to be a game-changer in Indonesia’s flood mitigation strategy.
