For its contributions to the development of the tech ecosystem in Africa, IoT Africa Networks, the continent’s leading provider of Internet of Things (IOTs) solutions and services, has won the Tech Innovation Award at the Tech Unite Africa Conference, which took place recently at the MUSON Centre, Lagos. 

Executive Director of IoT Africa Networks, Melanie Ayoola, who presented the keynote at the event, used the occasion to advocate for the increased adoption of IoT solutions among businesses to efficiently manage their operations, maximise resources and assets, optimise costs, and improve work safety.

Ayoola said IoT-integrated assets would provide real-time capability and data that improve decision-making, enhance the quality of services and solutions, and drive organisational growth, adding that this is especially as sensors provide valuable information regarding output, quality, machine conditions, environmental conditions, and so much more.

According to her, “Forward-thinking leaders are adopting technology in order to utilise all the innovations of IoT and improve their business strategy, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fully applying critical operational insights to harness key business benefits.
