Sustainable Smart Village and iLima ACIP AI Platform

THE CHALLENGE

Historical, economic, and social challenges have led to a significant backlog of affordable housing in South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. The current approach to addressing this issue is inadequate, and the backlog is growing. The iLima Africa Construction Innovation Platform (ACIP) oers a different, holistic solution that integrates community needs with advanced construction technology, focusing on long-term sustainability and community involvement.

Smart Village realisation cycle

This holistic and iterative process begins with a viability study prior to selection of land. It is then followed by continuous data-driven feasibility assessments. The iterative planning ensures cost-effectiveness and alignment with initial needs. As data accumulates and uncertainty decreases, the repeating process optimises village construction and operation. Technical and non-technical data is collected for traceability.

ACIP: Sustainable smart village AI platform

The goal of ACIP is to aid authorities and communities in providing aordable shelter and sustenance for a dignified life, guided by the motto: A home for anyone, and everyone in a home.

The platform collects, processes, and analyses information, focusing on modelling, measuring, and managing data, fostering autonomy, eciency, and traceability throughout a village’s lifecycle. It advances construction technology access, with innovative decision support models for nance, sustainability, society, and safety, enhancing community prosperity and housing access.
