Kantanka Irrigation robot: It is also referred to as the “Farmers’ Saviour.” It rides a bicycle joined to an irrigation can. This programmable Robot has an in- built radio for communication. The Robot can be started and controlled 100 metres away using the Kantanka remote control. The rate of flow of water, its direction and velocity on the farm can all be governed using the Kantanka remote control. The purpose of this robot is to help in irrigation to increase food production. It can also be used to water dusty roads or for any activity that requires the spraying of water

The two humanoid robots – multipurpose prototypic models – one of which is highly programmed for residential security issues; the second, for routine irrigation practices have been the third generation of robotic manufacturing by the Great KOSA Company. The ‘Security Robot’ uses eye-sensing mechanism to determine the presence of visitors: at a raised arm stretch a bar code reading device [in the palm of the robot] complements a Bar Code Identification Card – which the visitor is requested to show – also designed by Apostle Safo. Pairing and identification follows presto. The door opens and robotically closes [all happening within a fraction of a micro second by an integrated-intricate-circuiting] upon entry. Mr. Sakyi, one of the workers at the Department of Robotics at Apostle Safo Suaye Technology Research Centre (ASSTRC), said the Robot is basically made up of three components; the sensor, the programmed board and the circuit board. Therefore, when the eye (the sensor) picks the signal, it transfers it to the brain (the programming board) for the heart (the circuit) to act on the received impulse. The second robot, “Farmers’ Saviour”, has an inbuilt bicycle joined to an irrigation can. This amazing Robot has VHF radio for communication. The Robot is started by dialing the starting programming code on the radio mobile transmitter. The robot can then be controlled using the radio device; the rate of flow of water; the velocity of its movement and its directions on the farm. The propagation of the VHF band (30 MHz to 300 MHz) when using the VHF mobile radio device is chiefly in the form of a direct path. It is relatively unaffected by reflection, refraction and diffraction within the atmosphere; but is attenuated by the Earth’s surface and blocked, diffracted or reflected by terrain or structures — as experienced with VHF-band TV reception. The radio device has more than 100 meters propagating range. There is the possibility of future generation of products from the company to go digital according to TiGH investigations. There is hope for Africa

Honestly, if I had billions to invest I would put 80% investment on the "black star of Africa". These guys have vision, passion and drive. They are not money hungry and are determined to put Ghana, Black of& Africa on the map. I trust them with my life and would definitely buy their SUV in the near future. Innoson, on the other side, sorry but I can never trust their cars. The people who makes them are too money driven and I can forsee them cutting corners. "Black Star of Africa" Ghana making Africa proud since Nkwame Nkrumah! Nothing but love for these peeps! 3 Likes |

You cant even hide your tribalism/xenophobia can you? Africa needs less of your type. Innoson is patronised in Nigeria by state governments as they provide buses. It was good enough for Ghana to send a delegation in 2009 to persuade Innoson to set up shop in Ghana. When this Ghanaian company starts producing cars not for profit, let me know. Or do you think they are a charitable organisation? Give them kudos, but why use this to insult Nigeria or Innoson? 2 Likes |
Re: Made In Ghana Cars Goes International - Live On Aljazeera by londoner: 3:43pm On Aug 26, 2014 |
@iamlord, the extras are very good, but do you really believe that someone faced with buying a benz or a bently will go for Kantanka? It is now about marketing, price and the mentality of your target consumer. For many, its out of the running once its "African made"....Sad but true. Innoson is successful not because he is relying average Nigerians to buy or patronise, one car at a time, but government and transport companies, not only for state transport, but also environmental sanitation, believe. Hopefully Kantanka will win this uphill battle of African mentality, but will have less to do with the product, as much as marketing. He should probably market it outside Africa, as Africans will follow what others outside do, without question. Failing that the government should patronise him or provide incentives for buying GH vehicles. |
Re: Made In Ghana Cars Goes International - Live On Aljazeera by RedEboe(m): 4:20pm On Aug 26, 2014 |
Here's what I gathered from the Aljazeera article. -Kantanka can only boast of 5 fully assembled/manufactured vehicles. - Staff strength, 20 semi-skilled people. - Capacity, 6 to 10 cars a day which is in actual fact not feasible with staff strength of 20 semi-skilled labourers. ...with these few points,no investor not even the Ghanaian government will take Kantanka or Apostle 'whateva' seriously. Lets take a look at Innoson Nigeria: -Staff strength: over 6,000 skilled and semi-skilled labourers - Capacity: almost 100 vehicles a day. - Market: Innoson already supplies various vehicles to the Nigerian state and federal governments,also to corporate and private individuals. CONCLUSION KANTANKA is busy building INNOVATIONS while INNOSON is building a BUSINESS. Which makes more sense? 1 Like |
Re: Made In Ghana Cars Goes International - Live On Aljazeera by londoner: 4:58pm On Aug 26, 2014 |
RedEboe: Here's what I gathered from the Aljazeera article. What 20 staff? Only 5 vehicles? How will they export then, to who? Well, if that's the case Kantanka should be looking for investors or a partner company. Is that info really the case? Still kudos to them for doing it, but it actually puts into perspective what Innoson has achieved, even in a country without constant electricity. As for Kantanka, I applaud their sheer guts and determination in the face of naysayers. Maybe they should give IVM a call or vice versa. The innovation is a definite plus. A home grown innovative business is welcome and would be represented in a IVM/Kantanka partnership. |

londoner: @iamlord, the extras are very good, but do you really believe that someone faced with buying a benz or a bently will go for Kantanka? I agree with u a bit on this one.. One truth is that it will be hard to grow if there is No government support, of which I know he will definitely get some. Of which I know the owner of. Inoscon is highly connected. Here.. I have written to them and made suggestions about somethings.. They got the innovation but they need to work more on the brand.. Its High time he switches from an innovator To an entrepreneur.. The. Rlg brand has. Been successful in doing that..The Company is still young compared to innoscon.. And they. Already getting attention. So people should chill. They will keep. Improving, and I tell u in time you will see some of their cars to in nigeria! . But one truth I know is that ghanaians will patronise their own more compared to nigerians |
Re: Made In Ghana Cars Goes International - Live On Aljazeera by londoner: 5:41pm On Aug 26, 2014 |
iamord: Well, time will tell. It would be a shame if he does not get government backing, even including policy to favour Ghanaian made cars as Nigeria is doing with the auto policy. Whether Nigerians buy Innoson or not is not the issue, the gov is already buying an it will increase and over time Innoson will be tried and tested and people will buy, especially in the SE,as people are already sitting on his buses on mass transit as well as coach transporters. I hope we see Kantanka cars in Nigeria and more Innoson vehicles/cars in Ghana too. I think collaboration between the companies should be looked into, as well, as I suggested earlier. At this stage, I don't think Innoson needs the average Nigerian to rush and buy, he probably would not be able to supply, if that happened. 3 Likes |

BluIvy: Why not cut and post what was said about Innoson, I could not see it in what you posted. You made assumptions about the company in your former post. You were quite clear that you would reject the products because it is owned by a Nigerian. Or are you now backtracking? I called you out on something you clearly stated, and now you are acting as if I am jumping to conclusions.......lol Again, I say you actually don't know anything about Innoson and worse, did not bother to do any research on the company, but you based what you said on the fact that its a Nigerian company, owned by a Nigerian man. Then ran away with the negatives according to you. I was actually expecting you to provide stories abut Innoson or his products to back up what you said.......what you posted here to somehow "prove" what you said about a specific company and its products is a reach. If you had bothered to do some research, rather than reaching, you would have found out that the reputation of the owner of Innoson, the company and their products are actually the opposite of what you claimed they would be. Would you like me to provide you with info? |

londoner:I am not back tracking at all, you are the one being emotional here. I said I do not trust the people making the innoson cars (being a Nigerian company) and my thing is Nigeria are money driven. now read Peter Obi's article below and see if you cannot see where I am coming from. See the bolded. Innoson is a Nigeria company ran by Nigeria hence my calculated statement.

Re: Made In Ghana Cars Goes International - Live On Aljazeera by londoner: 8:59am On Aug 29, 2014 |
BluIvy: Seriously, you did not make a "calculated" statement......You made a claim based on your own prejudice. Innoson is a specific company and you made a claim about their products and their way of doing business. You are yet to provide me with any information linked to Innoson. There is a wealth of information on the company and the man behind it on the net. Taking some random article about politicians, which is in no way related to or is evidence of your "claim" about Innoson (a non politician) is still a reach. Provide some articles on Innoson which support your claim of either greed or cutting corners. This man has been Nigerian all his life, his company and products have always been Nigerian, so according to you there should be evidence of his greed and cutting corner nature, right? If you are to make claim about a specific company......then you should be prepared to back it up with facts related to that company. Innoson is actually known for not being simply money driven, but driven by the goal of seeing Nigeria/ns not being the dumping ground of second hand and substandard motorbikes and cars. Which has been the case previously, because the purchase of a new car has been out of the reach of the average Nigerian. If you researched a little on him and his company you would already know that. |
Re: Made In Ghana Cars Goes International - Live On Aljazeera by Nobody: 5:58pm On Aug 29, 2014 |
londoner: I don't know about your long epistle. Is Inoson not a company created by Nigerians, employing nigerians and ranged by nigerians? Yes or No? If I am prejudiced then so is Peter Obi and my nl who are agreed with the article. Nothing i can do there. |
