HARNESSING FRONTIER TECHNOLOGIES TO ENHANCE CUSTOMS SURVEILLANCE AND MONITORING ON BONDED ZONE FACILITY IN INDONESIA

Rapid advancement of frontier technologies offers significant potential for enhancing customs surveillance and monitoring systems, especially within bonded zone facilities. Therefore, Utilization of Frontier Technologies also bring another disruptive side-effect and significant issues during the operation. This paper will examine the pros and cons of applying new cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), drones, and robot on customs operations in Indonesia, benchmarking from another WCO countries. This paper will also provide several recommendations to Indonesian bonded zones practices, which currently face challenges such as inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and a lack of transparency. 

This paper employs comprehensive review of existing literature on customs surveillance, monitoring systems, and the significant role of bonded zones in Indonesia. Subsequently, explores how IoT is able to use real-time data collection and monitoring, AI able to enhance predictive analytics and anomaly detection, drones and robots are able to offer versatile surveillance capabilities, hence all the frontier technologies are able to improve decision-making processes taken by Customs Authorities. 

Through profound analysis of current practices, particularly on implementing into Indonesian bonded zones systems, this study will outline a framework for integrating these technologies. It also presents case studies of successful utilization in another WCO countries, demonstrating the evolutionary prospect of these technologies. The discussion also examines the benefits of harnessing frontier technologies, encompassing improved efficiency, accuracy, security, transparency, and cost-effectiveness. 

In conclusion, applying frontier technologies can greatly enhance the current practices of customs surveillance and monitoring in bonded zone facilities in Indonesia, leading to better efficiency and security in trade and logistics.
