Infitech Lab’s Aquaset is primarily aimed at preventing the overflow of water storage tanks during the infilling process of the tanks. It is a multifunctional device that monitors water in the aquifer and water level in the water storage system.

This prevents overflow and ensures sustainable water withdrawal from aquifer.
We are providing solar powered cold rooms for fish, fruits and vegetable farmers on a pay-as-you preserve model. The solar-powered cold storage offers an ideal response to the Kenyan farmers as it adequately addresses the problem of post-harvest losses. The freshness of the fish, fruits and vegetables is extended from two to 30 days. Farmers can look for better priced markets for their harvest. Solar energy cuts the storage energy expenses by 40% compared to electricity.
Weather constitutes the major production risk in agriculture, yet locally relevant weather data is largely absent. Farmers, as a result, are not correctly informed on the requirements of their crops and tend to do a lot of guesswork, drastically reducing yield and profit. The Hwesomame Weather Update Service is a self-supporting climate observation system that provides analyzed data on weather parameters.
