Iranian VP Unveils 3 Knowledge-Based Products in Bushehr Province

The first unveiled product was the ‘Seraj’ depth gauge, which was produced by a knowledge-based company. The device is used as an essential tool in all types of vessels (ships and boats), and its main task is to accurately measure the depth of the sea beneath the vessel. Knowing the depth is vital for the safe movement of vessels.

The second product was the IHHNV disease diagnosis kit, which was developed by another Iranian knowledge-based company. The kit is a direct response to one of the biggest threats to the country's sensitive aquaculture industry, specially shrimp farming in Southern Iran.

The third product which was unveiled is a Flame Simulator, which was produced by another knowledge-based company. The device plays a vital role in maintaining the safety of sensitive infrastructure. Flame detectors are one of the main tools for securing buildings and facilities against fire. To ensure the proper functioning of these detectors (both UV and IR), periodic and documented testing is required.

In a relevant development in September, Afshin had traveled to Kerman province in Southeastern Iran to unveil five innovative products in various technological fields.

The first unveiled product was the ‘Automatic Fault Locator for Power Transmission and Super-Distribution Lines’ software, which was developed by the knowledge-based ‘Dadeh Kavi Viera Zharf Kavir’ company. This smart system, using advanced deep learning algorithms and analyzing high-resolution images recorded by drones, is able to automatically detect electrical and mechanical defects in power lines.

The second product is ‘Potassium N-Octyl Hydroxamate’, which was introduced by the knowledge-based ‘Sarcheshmeh Hamoun Chemical and Mineral Production’ company. This material is used as an anion collector in the flotation process of metals, specially copper and iron.

In the health sector, the ‘Automatic Slide Preparation Cytology Device’ developed by Alma Gene Advanced Equipment company was introduced. This device revolutionizes the Pap smear test (cervical cancer screening) and other cytological tests.

The knowledge-based ‘Mahan Shabakeh Kowsar Iranian’ company also introduced the ‘Smart Mine Barrier System’ as the fourth unveiled product. This advanced system is designed to automatically manage vehicle traffic in complex and hazardous mining environments.

The fifth achievement was the introduction of two new safflower varieties, ‘Fakhereh’ and ‘Soroush’, developed by the Plant Production Technology Research Institute of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman. These varieties have been introduced with a focus on high oil yield and superior quality, specially in having high levels of oleic acid (a type of healthy fatty acid).
