Farm Intrusion Detection System

Farm IDS (Intrusion Detection System) is a modular solar-powered solution that uses Artificial Intelligence to detect and identify potential threat to farmland at a distance before it arrives at the farm and sends an SMS alert to the farmer and security agencies informing them of the threat and type of threat. It does not use internet connectivity for its operation as imag processing is done within the system

Baseline

Baseline is an efficient and cost-effective device that will help health care workers and those living with disability to measure their weight without having to lift them from their wheelchair. It is comfortable, saves time and manpower as it reduces the amount of time spent weighing patients from 25 minutes to less than 2 minutes. It is safe as it helps to reduce accidents by over 60% 

Innovator: Udoka Onyebuolise (i-FAIR Fellow)

Sisapower

This is a portable power storing extension. It is used as a normal extension, the system detects that there is the power supply and starts charging its internal battery which can be used at any time. It has a 50000mAH battery capacity. Currently,  45% of Nigerians are without electricity and many more have less than 3 hours of daily electricity. How would the 188 million persons with mobile devices charge their devices without electricity?  This situation offers a lot of opportunities for Sisapower.

Smart Solar Dryer

A cutting-edge device using intelligent solar drying technology incorporated with sensors and controllers to dry perishable food crops with a predetermined moisture control level in conformity with international standard drying requirements. Since the traditional way of drying food outside in an open field gives room for dust, insects and germs into the food. More people are now resorting to solar dryers. Solar dryers help in the reduction of post-harvest losses in a cost-efficient manner, improve quality of food and generate additional income and also create more employment opportunities.

Eco-Smart Aquaponics System

A mechatronics farming tool designed and built to circulate fish excretes dissolved in water from the fish pond to the grow bed so that the plants in the grow bed can absorb the waste as a rich nutrient, utilize it for its growth, and then purifies the water for the fish intake while the cycle repeats. The global aquaponics market size is valued at 580 million USD to 630 million as of 2018, according to a Business Intelligence report. The report forecasts the demand to grow at a CAGR  of 14.5% – 15.5% going through to 2025.

Rescueplus

RescuePlus is a car accident detection and rescue solution. This solution saves lives by decreasing the time required for information to reach emergency responders. The system employs the use of smart sensors to detect car crashes and reports the exact time and location of the accident to the relation of the victim and emergency responders for rescue. It will also enable collaborative driving which helps other users to generate road/traffic status and conditions to people within their network. It will create reliable and accurate data for the government to make policies, address infrastructural deficits and challenges on different roads facilities.

Birds Electronic Repellant

Bird Electronic Repellent is a modern electronic device designed to use an Artificial Intelligence Network for bird detection and a sound system that emits a sound that repels the birds away from farmland or any area affected by damaging birds. In doing so, it secures food crops (grains) and other relevant investments against bird damage. The motivation behind this invention is to solve the growing problem of food shortages and loss of annual revenue because of bird menace. The seasonal farming yield would be optimized when physical factors that affect crop yield such as birds attack, are controlled.

Mechanical Ventilator

This device provides oxygen to the lungs at controlled parameters for patients with respiratory distress such as COVID-19 patients, asthmatics, etc. It is incorporated with a back up battery to keep it functional in the absence of power outage. Inspiration and expiration ratio, pressure of oxygen as well as the volume can be regulated to meet up with the patients demands.

Solar Water Pumping System

Solar water pump system is an electrical pump system in which the electricity is provided by one or several Photovoltaic (PV) panels. It consists of a solar panel array that powers an electric motor, which in turn powers a bore pump, a plastic-based pump that results in less production cost than stainless steel material used in many solar pumps currently. The water is often pumped from the ground or stream into the farm directly for irrigation purposes.
