IoT Matilda started as a personal research project in 2022 : an industrial IoT platform designed to remotely access, monitor, control, and maintain stone quarry machinery. The vision was to enable smarter industrial operations through remote device programming, real-time monitoring, and predictive maintenance capabilities.
After its development, finding the right environment to demonstrate its potential proved challenging. In 2025, collaboration with three University of Ghana graduates led to the creation of a hydroponic test farm, where the technology was demonstrated through lettuce and pepper production.
Since then, IoT Matilda has evolved through continuous field testing, real-world operation, and constant improvement. Every hardware revision, software update, and control algorithm has been refined by solving practical challenges.
