Revolutionizing Water Resource Management with Technology
In light of the increasing pressure on water resources, technological solutions are gaining significant traction. In Marrakech, several entrepreneurial initiatives are leveraging innovation to optimize water usage, with support from the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH). Among these initiatives is Smarttanx, a company founded by Salma El Yassini, an expert in industrial automation. This innovative venture is dedicated to developing smart tools designed to enhance monitoring and management of hydraulic installations.
Located in the Al Massar industrial zone, Smarttanx designs systems that allow for real-time monitoring of various parameters, including reservoir levels, flow rates, pressure, and water quality. These solutions also facilitate automated control of pumps, valves, and hydraulic circuits, integrating technologies related to the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing. Users can monitor and manage their equipment remotely, which significantly enhances operational efficiency.
The primary goal of Smarttanx is to utilize the collected data to better manage water consumption and improve the effectiveness of hydraulic infrastructures. The devices developed by Smarttanx are based on industrial equipment from renowned brands such as Siemens and Wecon, ensuring high-quality performance and reliability.
Financial Support and Ambitious Goals
The establishment of Smarttanx has benefitted from a financial contribution of 100,000 dirhams provided by the INDH. According to Salma El Yassini, this support has been crucial in transitioning the project from the design phase to effective implementation. It has enabled the company to develop its first equipment and market its solutions successfully. El Yassini launched this venture with the ambition of utilizing technology for water preservation, recognizing that effective water resource management is becoming an increasingly strategic challenge.
Looking ahead, Smarttanx aims to expand its operations and strengthen its presence in engineering and innovation related to water, both in the national and international markets. The founder also highlights the challenges women face when venturing into industrial and technological sectors. However, she observes a growing female presence in these fields and a heightened interest in technical activities, which she views as a positive development.
Salma El Yassini has expressed her gratitude to His Majesty King Mohammed VI for the attention given to youth and their initiatives, while also praising the support provided by the INDH teams in Marrakech. Through projects like Smarttanx, technological innovation emerges as a crucial lever capable of addressing concrete challenges related to water, while the support for young entrepreneurs helps transform technical ideas into operational economic activities.
