In shrimp farming, the project introduced AI-powered tools — smart water quality sensors for continuous monitoring of critical water parameters. Real-time data analysis enabled prompt decision-making and optimized pond conditions, leading to healthier stock and higher yields.
Activity Type AI Tools/SolutionsForthcoming publication and roundtable on AI applications in the cement and concrete industry, highlighting best practices, scaling challenges, and the need for coordinated action across the entire value chain.
Activity Type AI Tools/SolutionsAs part of UNIDO’s ITEQ-Rice project in Ghana, three AI-powered optical colour sorters were donated to women’s groups in remote areas of the Mion District to improve rice processing and quality control. These machines use artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning to rapidly detect and remove defective grains based on color, shape, and size, replacing the time-consuming manual sorting process.
