The organisation of the 35th Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Congress at Bahrul\nUlum Tambakberas Islamic Boarding School in Jombang Regency, East Java,\nmarks a new chapter in digitally based organisational governance. The\norganising committee has officially integrated special chip-based smart\ncard technology and an integrated surveillance system to ensure the\nsmooth running of the major agenda for NU members.<\/p>\n
This step was taken as a concrete solution to improve the accuracy of\nparticipant verification while closing loopholes for access manipulation\nthat often pose challenges at national-scale events. With mature\ninformation technology infrastructure support, this Congress is expected\nto become a new standard in event management for religious organisations\nin Indonesia.<\/p>\n
The core of this digital transformation lies in the participant cards\nequipped with chip technology. The Secretary of the Steering Committee\nof the 35th NU Congress, Professor Mohammad Nuh, affirmed that the\nsystem has been patented to guarantee the integrity of participant\ndata.<\/p>\n
\u201cStarting from participation, everything has been verified. We have\nprepared these participation models. They already use chips and are\npatented, so they cannot be manipulated,\u201d said Mohammad Nuh in Jombang\nas reported by Antara on Wednesday (26\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n
This chip technology allows the committee to implement an access\nzoning system. Each card has been programmed with authority for specific\nareas, so cardholders can only enter areas that correspond to their\nfunction in the main Congress arena. This aims to maintain order at the\nhearing locations and ensure only authorised parties are present in\ncrucial zones.<\/p>\n
In addition to the card system, the committee has also strengthened\nphysical security infrastructure through the use of more than 100\nsurveillance cameras or CCTV. All these cameras are connected directly\nto a command centre to monitor activities at all strategic points of the\nCongress arena.<\/p>\n
Robin Makrufi, the IT section of the 35th NU Congress, explained that\nthe coverage of this digital monitoring is very extensive.<\/p>\n
The use of this technology is expected to minimise the potential for\ndisputes regarding participant status that often arise at large forums.\nWith digitally verified data from the outset, the committee has a strong\ndatabase for making decisions if problems arise on the ground.<\/p>\n
The integration of digital technology in the 35th NU Congress is not\nonly about security but also service efficiency. The committee is\ntargeting a more measurable and controlled event, from logistics\nmanagement to rapid handling of participant issues.<\/p>\n
With an integrated system, the committee can monitor density at\ncertain points through CCTV and respond to participant needs in real\ntime. This is evidence that traditional organisations such as NU are\nable to adapt to information technology developments to support the\nsmooth running of the organisation\u2019s highest deliberation.<\/p>\n
The implementation of this digital system is expected to provide a\nmore comfortable experience for the kiai, delegates, and entourages\nattending from all over Indonesia, while ensuring that the 35th NU\nCongress proceeds with high integrity without technical disruptions to\nparticipation aspects.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/35th-nu-congress-implements-chip-cards-and-100-cctv-cameras-for-digital-security-1787730669", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
