(MaximoWorld 2026) – Cirebon Energi Prasarana (CEPR), one of West Java’s leading independent power producers, and Cohesive, part of Bentley Systems, have received a prestigious award recognizing CEPR’s advancement of workplace safety using IBM Maximo.

The “Health, Safety and Environmental Leadership” award was presented at MaximoWorld 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee. The award recognized the successful adoption by CEPR of IBM Maximo HSE and, in particular, its transition from paper-based to fully digital Permit to Work (PTW) processes (the authorized documents used in industrial environments) to support safety compliance at its 1,000 MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired plant in Cirebon.

CEPR is one of the first power producers in Indonesia to operate a fully integrated, “digital first” PTW and isolation management system at scale, marking a significant milestone in modernizing power plant operations in the region.

The implementation has already proven its value during the Cirebon plant’s recent 47-day outage where Maximo HSE’s digital workflows and control capabilities played a key role in ensuring it was completed safely and on schedule despite needing the coordination of thousands of work activities, the processing of large volumes of safety-critical permits, and the management of hundreds of contractors under tight operational timelines.

Andy Saputra, ICT Manager at CEPR, said: "By unifying asset, safety, and operational workflows into one intelligent system, CEPR is setting a new benchmark for Indonesia’s energy sector. This award is a testament to the progress we are making on our mission to modernize our operations and contribute to the nation’s long-term energy resilience.”

Colin Ellam, CEO, Cohesive, said: "This award recognizes what can be achieved when world-class technology is combined with a strong commitment to safety and operational excellence. CEPR has demonstrated outstanding leadership in creating a digital-first safety culture, and we are proud to have partnered with them on a project that is setting a new benchmark for the power generation industry in Indonesia and beyond."

Building on the success of the project, CEPR is now working with Cohesive to further enhance its digital capabilities, including a future upgrade to the Maximo Application Suite.
