Department of Infrastructure in Gauteng launches pragmatic drone programme

Gauteng Infrastructure MEC Jacob Mamabolo launched the departments first drone programme at the Phillip Moyo Community Centre in Ethwathwa, outside Benoni.

The MEC says the main reason for using drones in infrastructure is to increase efficiency and promote the current projects to become high performance projects. The department is currently running infrastructure projects valued at R 4.5 billion. The drone platform will be incorporated with the department’s nerve centre, Lutsinga Infrastructure House. Drone artificial intelligence will be integrated with the current business intelligence platform.

Using smart technologies, the department of infrastructure will be able to manage all projects efficiently. This will drive better service delivery across Gauteng, helping curb the number of service delivery protests.

With innovative solutions, the public sector can become more efficient, more productive and provide infrastructure projects of global standards.

Pragmatic Master is currently providing robotics solutions to the construction, agriculture and mining industry. Today Pragmatic Master will be able to collaborate with the Department of Infrastructure Development, as they innovate rapidly. Pragmatic Master is looking forward to developing solutions for Africans by Africans with the Public Sector.
