Safaricom has partnered with Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) to connect and enhance its coolers. The connected coolers are wired with sensors that leverage on the Internet of things (IoT) – the inter-networking of “smart” devices that collect and exchange data. According to Kenya Breweries Limited MD Jane Karuku, the initiative is aimed at bringing efficiencies in route-to-consumer channels using technology. Safaricom is also planning to bring valuable solutions by leveraging on IoT to deliver smart water metering and animal tracking system. The new Internet of Things (IoT) network will tap into the Safaricom existing 4G network.
