The Problem

Invisible spoilage is destroying
Ghana's grain supply

Aflatoxin from unchecked temperature and humidity causes 20–40% annual grain losses — silently, before any visual signs appear.

20–40%
of stored maize is lost every season
Ghana produces ~2 million MT of maize annually. At current loss rates, that is 400,000–800,000 MT destroyed — not by drought, but by preventable storage conditions worth over GHS 1.4B.

30°C
threshold for grain degradation
🌡️

Undetected heat build-up

Grain stored above 30°C begins degrading within days. Manual checks every few days catch this far too late.

💧

Humidity and aflatoxin

Above 65%RH, aflatoxin-producing mould begins colonising grain. It is odourless, colourless, and invisible to the eye.

⚠️

No early warning system

Traders discover spoilage at the market, not the warehouse. By then, the entire pallet is a total loss.

From sensor to alert
in under 15 minutes

Step 01
📡

Sensors installed

A Raspberry Pi Zero with a DHT22 sensor is attached to each pallet stack. No specialist wiring — just power and a SIM card for connectivity.

Step 02
☁️

Data flows to the cloud

Every 15 minutes, temperature and humidity readings are uploaded to the MASQADIA dashboard — visible from any phone, tablet, or browser.

Step 03
🔔

Instant alerts sent

When any reading crosses a threshold, the warehouse manager and the trader receive an SMS within seconds — before damage can set in.

Features

Everything a grain warehouse needs
to operate safely

🌡️

Real-time monitoring

Temperature and humidity updated every 15 minutes per pallet. All 15 pallets visible at once on the dashboard grid.

🤖

AI predictive alerts

Machine learning forecasts when a pallet will reach critical conditions — hours before it crosses the threshold.

📱

SMS alerts

Critical notifications sent via MTN or AirtelTigo. Works without a smartphone, works without internet at the warehouse.

📋

Quality passport

A digitally signed storage certificate used for bank loans, commodity contracts, and insurance claims.

🏭

Multi-warehouse

Manage one warehouse or fifty from a single account, each with its own thresholds, pallets, and alert history.

📊

Analytics & trends

Charts, historical trends, and CSV exports. Prove storage conditions to insurers, banks, and commodity buyers.
