The BFA has been installed for more than 15 years in Sub-Saharan Africa. Equipped with a solar panel, the BFA is entirely autonomous, with no need for any radio or telecom link.<\/p>\n<p>The user simply enters their RFID key to draw water. The water cuts off when the key is removed.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; images=&#8221;19297,19295,19068,19070&#8243; img_size=&#8221;thumbnail&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1654163270636{margin-top: 32px !important;margin-bottom: 32px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><strong>e-pumps : the &#8220;smart&#8221; pumps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The UDUMA model relies on <strong>precise monitoring of the volumes of water consumed at each pump<\/strong>. It therefore requires the pumps to be equipped with a measuring device (meter) and a recording and data transmission instrument (datalogger). A real challenge, since &#8220;conventional&#8221; water meters, designed for continuous water flows, are not adapted to manual pumps, characterized by intermittent flows.<\/p>\n<p>The development of a system to communicate with the meter was the second major challenge. In the end, an innovative solution was chosen based on radio connectivity.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; images=&#8221;18507,18511,18509,18513&#8243; img_size=&#8221;thumbnail&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1654163214979{margin-top: 32px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2><strong>An electronic payment system<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The proper functioning of the UDUMA model also means putting in place <strong>a system that collects the revenue in a secure and efficient way<\/strong>. In sub-Saharan rural areas, the banking network is underdeveloped and the risks of theft between the collection point and the bank deposit are not to be neglected.<\/p>\n<p>Based on payment terminals and Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, UDUMA offers the users the opportunity to pay for their water consumption at a water point by debiting her\/his personal &#8220;WATER&#8221; card.<\/p>\n<p>The card is credited by an UDUMA agent, either in cash or by using her\/his Mobile Money account. The &#8220;WATER&#8221; card allows a flexible and precise pricing of the service, at the cent or even the tenth of a cent.[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/kqAYtSc8adc&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1563867664905{margin-top: 32px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1542376961866{margin-top: 36px !important;margin-bottom: 36px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Our innovations&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23009036&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Michroma%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Technological innovations&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Michroma%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1563868180061{margin-top: 32px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1638370206926{margin-top: 32px !important;margin-bottom: 32px !important;}&#8221;] Automatic Standpipe (BFA, for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18545","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Our innovations - Uduma<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Technological innovations.
