Practices
Problem: Traditional machine engineering faces issues of inefficiency, downtime, and costly maintenance, leading to reduced productivity and higher operational costs. Solution: Implementing Digital Twins in machine engineering allows for real-time monitoring, virtual simulation of equipment behavior, predictive maintenance, and optimization of machine performance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
Problem: Traditional heating methods rely on non-renewable fuels, causing environmental harm and inefficiencies. Solution: Our biomass-based heating technology offers a sustainable, portable alternative using renewable biomass for efficient, eco-friendly heating across various applications.
At AILA we solve problems in the educational industry through the use of AI and advanced technologies. We enable students to identify their weak points in less than 10 minutes, we decrease teachers time for tasks by 10X, and we allow parents to monitor their kids in real time.
Problems: Education providers cannot handle managing more than 10-20 teams; HR doesn't know which of the training participants are the best fit for the position; The effect of training is not obvious and poorly measurable. Solution: We make project work in educational process manageable at scale; We provide insights about participants for HR decisions; Transparent and digitalized effect of employee training for HR systems.
Problem : Traditional methods of capturing employee sentiment are surveys, nudges, and feedback sessions. These often fall short in capturing the depth of human emotion and understanding individual perspectives. One-on-one conversation with each employee is the most comprehensive way to understand their perspective. However doing one-on-one at scale with larger teams is a herculean task involving significant time, resource, money and effort. Solution : Our solution "Remo" from Culture OS, is an AI agent designed to conduct one-on-one conversations with employees on all matters and provide companies with actionable insights. It reduces time, cost, efforts and resources to conduct them by a whopping 97%. From employee satisfaction and feedback conversation, wellness check-ins, career development conversation, harassment and discrimination conversation, employee grievance, workplace accommodation conversation, job satisfaction conversations to management and leadership review conversation. Remo can do it all with elan.
In Africa, 94% of global malaria, TB and HIV cases occur annually, totaling more than 300 million cases. Children under 5 make up 80% of these cases. Additionally, 85% of African countries are impacted by climate-related issues. Conversely, 35% of these countries lack integrated disease surveillance systems, leading to an average 4-week delay in reporting cases. Climate change contributes to a tenfold increase in malaria cases, resulting in a loss of 2.1 billion working hours. A climate-aware solution has been developed to address the malaria, TB and HIV crisis by using AI for disease surveillance, outbreak prediction, and early warnings. This system offers real-time analytics, improved outbreak prediction, seamless integration, and early warning capabilities. It aims to predict malaria outbreaks in advance and facilitate timely responses.
Increasing cyber threats have made the storage of sensitive healthcare data a critical issue. SafeData Hub provides secure, cloud-based big data storage tailored for the healthcare industry.
The agricultural sector in Ethiopia is struggling with crop monitoring and pest control due to vast farmlands and limited resources. DroneAgro provides drone-based solutions for real-time crop monitoring, pest control, and precision agriculture.
Ethiopia faces significant challenges in communications infrastructure, particularly in remote and rural areas where traditional methods are costly and logistically challenging. Limited internet access affects education, healthcare, and business growth. Solution: The implementation of advanced satellite communication technologies to provide high-speed internet and reliable communication services across the country. This includes the deployment of geostationary and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to ensure extensive coverage and connectivity.
In South Africa and broader Africa, we have an issue of affordable meat and we created a business model and platform of which it cuts costs for the consumers/customer. We have digitized the informal meat selling market and have made it affordable through bulk buying and stokvel.
The Ethiopian government faces challenges in delivering public services efficiently due to a lack of digital infrastructure. eGov Ethiopia is a comprehensive digital platform for citizens to access government services online.
