South Africa's manufacturing sector struggles with high energy consumption. SmartFactory SA utilizes AI to streamline processes, reducing energy use and operational costs.
Managing chronic wounds in remote areas is challenging due to inadequate resources and monitoring. This project introduces an IoT-enabled wound care system that tracks healing progress and provides real-time data to healthcare providers.
The organization had vast amounts of data but faced challenges in turning it into actionable insights. There was a need to make data-driven decisions quickly, but the existing methods of analysis were time-consuming and lacked interactivity. Decision-makers needed a more intuitive and visual approach to interpret the data. Visualize Key Data: Using charts, graphs, and slicers, users could easily filter and explore the data. Track KPIs: The dashboards tracked important metrics such as sales, performance, and customer engagement. Real-time Insights: By connecting Power BI directly to the data sources, users could monitor live updates and trends. Custom Reports: The reports were tailored to the needs of different departments, ensuring relevant insights for each decision-maker. This solution significantly enhanced the organization's ability to interpret and act on data more effectively.
Our company has developed several projects based on virtual, augmented, and mixed reality technologies (VR/AR/MR) aimed at solving various tasks in the fields of education, process optimization, and production management. Traditional methods of training and work often fail to effectively train employees and optimize workflows, especially in the context of rapidly changing technologies. Our XR (extended reality) solutions enable the creation of immersive and safe virtual environments for training, simulation, and management, which enhances efficiency and reduces risks.
WATER CRISIS IS COMING TO MORE COUNTRIES. The discharge of untreated wastewater leads to the pollution of groundwater, which serves as a source of drinking water Among the BRICS countries, China, India and Egypt are experiencing problems with fresh water The problem of wastewater recycling is urgent. Improving the quality of wastewater treatment requires increased energy and financial costs. Aeration consumes more than 50% of all energy costs of wastewater treatment plants Aeration (dissolving oxygen in water) is the most costly process of the wastewater treatment. Aeration consumes more than 50% of all energy costs of wastewater treatment plants.Modular CAVITECH aeration reduces energy consumption in 2 times CAVITECH aeration makes it safe and in several times cheaper in energy consupmtion and maintenance.
35 billion plastic bottles of lubricating oil are discarded every year. 1 billion plastic bottles of lubricating oil are discarded every year only in Brazil. And what is worse, the oil containing in 1 bottle is enough to contaminate 2 thousand liters of water. Of all this volume, only 9% is recycled, because our competitors decontaminate these packages using water, which creates two major problems: First, even using detergents,it is not possible to remove all the oil from plastic, generating a low quality recycled raw material, decreasing its value. Second, this water has to be treated, and during the process, each liter of oil turns into up to 8 pounds of hazardous waste, generating a high cost and environmental risk. With this in mind, we developed an innovative and efficient production system, composed of equipment and processes with a granted patent, which completely separates the oil from the ground plastic and the label, in an ecological way: without using any water, without generating waste, and with a cost of 30% less than the water process We buy the packaging from environmental companies that collect it from gas stations and workshops, carry out our process, recovering and seling the oil, eliminating the environmental risk. We also produce a recycled plastic raw material of excellent quality, that is sold to the packaging industry, which manufactures a new oil packaging with 10% cost reduction, creating a true circular economy. We have already processed 10 million oil packages, recovering and selling 500 tons of recycled plastic and 17 thousand liters of recovered oil, generating a social and environmental benefits, such as 17 billion liters of water preserved in the environment and 800 tons less of gases effects. That made this solution recognized through 35 relevant national and international awards, participated in international events and became a B Best Company in the World 2022 for the socio-environmental value generated and a prominent member of the United Nations Global Compact.
The problem is in waste sorting, in understanding the air quality in the cities among the population for its health and quality of life The creation of a geoanalytical platform for managing environmental processes in a city or region can become an effective tool for solving problems. The platform will integrate data on air quality and the state of garbage containers, providing a comprehensive approach to monitoring and managing the environmental situation. With the help of this platform, local authorities will be able to: - Monitor air quality in real time, obtaining pollution data and identifying emission sources. - Optimize waste container locations based on population data, waste flows, and container usage frequency. - Develop strategies to improve the environmental situation, including programs to reduce emissions and improve waste disposal systems. - Monitor the spread of ash from volcanic eruptions in Kamchatka.
improving the quality of life of both individual residents of municipalities, prefectures, and the country as a whole by understanding the problems of placing urban/rural infrastructure (schools, kindergartens, shops, garbage containers, etc.) next to residents
Problem: In many industrial companies, there is a lack of qualified mentors, insufficient time for training, inconsistent training methods, ineffective communication between mentors and trainees, and the absence of a clear system for assessing the effectiveness of mentorship. These challenges contribute to increased training costs, longer onboarding periods, and inconsistent employee performance. Solution: Interstorm AI-trainer Copilot is an AI-driven service designed to accelerate employee adaptation in production companies. It leverages generative AI and a large language model adapted for Russian to create and assess training scenarios for employees. The solution automates routine training tasks, provides personalized feedback, and helps mentors focus on employees who need more assistance. This ensures consistent training quality, reduces costs, and optimizes the use of human resources.
Training in drone assembly and operation is a complex and time-consuming process that requires the use of real components and equipment. Beginners often struggle to master all the stages of assembly and configuration, and mistakes during the process can lead to damage to expensive parts. Additionally, drone pilots often face challenges when training in real conditions due to weather constraints or limited access to training areas. The XR FPV Simulator addresses this problem by integrating real drone components with a virtual assistant (AI assistant) that guides users step-by-step through the assembly and configuration process. Afterward, users can practice flying drones in a virtual (VR) environment, allowing them to develop piloting skills in a safe and controlled setting. This solution minimizes the risk of equipment damage and provides training opportunities regardless of external conditions.
The cutting-edge solutions in the field of training highly qualified IT specialists needs a transparent dialogue between educators and iT specialists. It is planned to publish a special issue of the scientific journal where IT educators from Russia and China exchange their views on training IT profssionals.
Our company has developed an educational platform based on XR technologies (VR/AR/MR) aimed at developing competencies through game-based and gamified formats. Traditional educational methods can be less engaging and lack the necessary immersion to effectively teach complex skills. Additionally, the increasing demand for interactive and flexible learning solutions requires new approaches. This platform solves these issues by offering training scenarios in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality environments, providing maximum immersion and enhancing the learning experience. Learners are able to practice and refine skills in a safe and controlled environment, improving retention and real-world application
