<![CDATA[The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all sectors in Indonesia, including the industrial sector. The impacts include reducing the number of employees, decreasing production levels, and a decline in consumer demand and supply. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the development of automation industries during the COVID-19 pandemic transition period in Indonesia. It is based on the resumption of normal industrial operations after the COVID-19 pandemic. Three semi-structured interviews were conducted with the owner of a micro furniture industry, a manager of an industry, and an industrial maintenance worker. The consensus revealed a reduction in the number of employees, decreased production levels, and a decline in consumer demand and supply during the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, an increase or stabilization in the number of employees, an increase in production levels, and an increase in consumer demand and supply occurred after the COVID-19 pandemic.ABSTRAKPandemi COVID-19 berdampak pada seluruh sektor di Indonesia termasuk juga sektor industri.
