Guests Tour DIPPER Lab to Experience Cutting-Edge Innovations
After the official launch of the FarmSense Device, guests were taken on a guided tour of the Distributed IoT-Platforms, Privacy and Edge-Intelligence Research (DIPPER Lab) at KNUST to experience firsthand the innovative technologies being developed at the facility.
Led by Prof. Eric Tutu Tchao, Scientific Director of the Lab, the visitors were introduced to a range of research projects that blend artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and data analytics to solve real-world challenges across agriculture, health, and environmental monitoring.
Researchers at the Lab demonstrated how DIPPER’s work goes beyond prototypes, translating advanced research into practical tools that benefit communities.
The projects on display included ANET, Herdwatch, and Galamsense, all developed to provide practical solutions for Ghana’s development sectors.
Guests were also introduced to a range of high-tech devices powering the Lab’s work, such as the Voltera PCB printing device, Wegstr PCB CNC device, Neoden reflow oven, Neoden pick and place machine, Anycubic resin printer, Formlab resin printer, and microscopes used for precision engineering and prototyping.
Several attendees, including representatives from partner institutions and government agencies, commended the researchers for their commitment to innovation and community-focused science.
The DIPPER Lab continues to serve as a hub for innovation, bringing together academia, government, and private sector partners to co-create solutions that advance Ghana’s digital transformation and sustainable development goals.
