Every insect carries an invisible community of microorganisms. But what are they doing there?

Meet NRF-funded Dr Nomthandazo Khanyile @UPTuks. She is interested in how insect-associated microorganisms help agricultural pests survive: https://t.co/AA14rDu8Vj

In most industries, maintenance is a waiting game. But in an age defined by data and automation, that approach no longer makes sense.

NRF-funded Dr Edward Nkadimeng has researched how a predictive maintenance model can help keep critical systems running.

Most industries fix things after they break. But predictive maintenance uses data to spot problems early, keeping everything running smoothly. 🛠️

Just sharing a short Q&A I did a while back that’s now been published in @TC_Africa. It looks at our predictive maintenance work and how we built an AI model to detect early signs of equipment failure.
