The rapid advancement of technology has enabled various functions to be integrated into a single device in a practical and efficient manner. At UNDIRA, modern technology utilization is no longer limited to handheld devices like smartphones—it has now deeply penetrated the world of machinery and industrial automation. Today’s advanced machines have become the backbone of productivity across multiple sectors, from manufacturing and automotive to energy, aiming to enhance efficiency, speed, and production quality.

However, behind the sophistication of high-performance machines lies an ongoing challenge: maintaining their reliability and operational durability. Every machine requires regular monitoring to prevent early failures. One of the most critical issues in machine operation is excessive vibration or shock.

Vibration, if not properly assessed during the quality checking stage, can lead to component loosening, shaft damage due to load changes, sensor and power distribution failures, and even internal damage to optical systems such as smartphone cameras when dropped or bumped.

These issues highlight the importance of proper and precise quality control, particularly through accurate machine condition monitoring. This requires a deep understanding of mechanical properties—the ability of materials to respond to external forces such as pressure, tension, bending, or impact. These properties are fundamental in determining whether a material or component is suitable for specific working conditions.

To address this challenge, the Mechanical Engineering Program at Universitas Dian Nusantara (UNDIRA) emphasizes the importance of quality control in machine components through vibration monitoring tests. This method serves as a quality assurance phase, designed to assess a machine's resilience to vibration and pressure under simulated conditions—without the need to dismantle the entire system. Vibration monitoring allows technicians to detect anomalies or potential component failures early.

Moreover, this research also aims to evaluate vehicle durability against various terrains, such as potholes, gravel roads, and steep inclines commonly encountered in everyday use.

The implementation of vibration monitoring tests becomes a strategic step toward developing prevention systems and maintenance protocols based on real-time machine condition data. This approach is a practical solution for improving the quality, safety, and durability of machines, particularly in the automotive and manufacturing industries.

Through this applied research, UNDIRA’s Mechanical Engineering Program demonstrates its commitment to producing graduates who are not only academically excellent but also well-prepared to tackle the evolving challenges of the industry.
