I-N-TECH (PTY) LTD
1. Harnessing Kinetic Energy: Roads: Vehicles moving on roads generate immense kinetic energy. I-N-TECH’s technology captures this energy through specialized sensors and infrastructure. Gyms: Fitness equipment such as treadmills, exercise bikes, and other machines in gyms are retrofitted with energy-harvesting technology to capture energy from workouts. Conduit Pipes: Kinetic energy from the flow of fluids (water, gas) in pipes is converted into usable energy through embedded sensors and turbines. Tiles: Tiles installed in high-traffic areas, such as sidewalks, public spaces, and buildings, harness energy from footfalls and movement. 2. Intelligent Energy Management: IoT Software 3. Sustainability and Environmental Impact 4. Economic and Social Impact 5. Urban Data Utilisation

1. Pioneering Use of Kinetic Energy Innovation: I-N-TECH is a trailblazer in harnessing kinetic energy from everyday activities like road traffic, fitness exercises, and footfalls on tiles. While many competitors focus on solar, wind, or hydro power, I-N-TECH taps into an under-utilised energy source—human and vehicle movement—giving it a first-mover advantage in this niche market. Sustainability: Kinetic energy is generated constantly in urban settings, meaning it provides a highly sustainable and renewable energy source. This sets I-N-TECH apart from competitors who rely on energy sources that depend on specific environmental conditions (e.g., sunlight, wind). 2.
