Smart Environment Management (Nhume)

By Tererai Maphosa

Our smart environment management system is called Nhume ; which is Shona name for “messenger”.It uses wireless sensor network to monitor the enviro nment within a local authority. Sensors are placed at strategic points such as sewer ponds, water treatment p lants, industrial areas and streets. These sensors detect the presence of harmful toxins in water and air. The data is relayed to a central repository on the cloud where it is analyzed using artificial intelligent models to come up with analytical interpretations which are displayed on a web dashboard . Abnormal levels of toxins are flagged.

Smart Water Meters

By Tererai Maphosa

This product is still under dev- development. We intent to connect every urbansettlement with smart water meters which not only measure water flow but which use wireless communication to connect to local or wide area networks, allowing remote location monitoring and infrastructure maintenance through leak detection. This will allow councils to compute non revenue water. Residents will als o be able to prepay for their water hence allowing them to budget more effectively.

Smart Bus Entry Control

By Tererai Maphosa

This system is an automated boom gate which is controlled by software. It monitors the entry and exit of passenger vehicles (buses and kombies) into and out of council owned bus terminus. The system eliminates human intervention in logging in and logging out vehicles in bus terminus. It uses RFID cards to log clients in and out of the terminus. Each client is given a unique account number. Transactions can be monitored real time. Revenue collected is automatically computed. This system reduces corruption at bus ranks.
