Gqeberha-based Jendamark Automation has won technology innovation of the year for its Odin Manufacturing software at the Africa Tech Week Awards.
Innovations director Yanesh Naidoo says the award, judged by an independent panel, served as a confirmation that the manufacturing technology developed by Jendamark was meeting a real need for small to medium enterprises. For South Africa and Africa to prosper, he adds, a focus on building a strong manufacturing-based economy was needed. “That’s why we developed Odin Manufacturing – to help digitise and improve production efficiencies, and create opportunities for the massive human capital that we have in our country and the continent.”
