1 Imagine Africa at the Forefront of Measurement Science N Mukhufhi September 2016

2 Africa the World of Wonders? The wealth map of the world

3 Africa, the continent of Wonders The bulk of the World s platinum, gold, diamonds and many other minerals 90% of platinum metals 60% of diamonds 50% of gold ALL other minerals

4 Africa, the continent of Wonders Minerals and Metals Produces more than 60 metal and mineral products Host 30% of world s major metals

5 Africa, the continent of Wonders Oil and natural gas Accounts for 13% of world production Expected to rise to 30% by

6 Africa, the continent of Wonders? It is the World s poorest continent, 25 of its nations ranks amongst the least developed in the world

8 Challenges in Emerging Economies in Africa Africa s economy relies on agriculture, minerals/metals and oil Agriculture; Cocoa, coffee, sesame, cassava, nuts, honey, cotton, fruits and vegetables, spices, flowers and plants, wood, essential oils, seafood and gastropods Minerals/metals; gold, platinum, diamonds, copper, coal and most other metals Oil and natural gas Manufacturing; mostly SA, Kenya, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia

23 Imagine if we had the Quality Infrastructure and Measurement to take us into the next revolution!

24 What do we need? A Quality Infrastructure and MEASUREMENT! Accurate measurements are vital for the proper functioning of trade and industry, ensuring food safety, appropriate health-care, forensic analysis and environmental monitoring to name a few sectors

25 Enabling Intra-Africa Trade and Free Trade Areas

26 Imagine what Additive Manufacturing can do for Africa!

27 Imagine what Additive Manufacturing can do for Africa!

28 Metrology Impacts the Economy The main Impact Channels are: Innovation Direct Support to Trade Science Impact Problem Solving = NMISA Direct Services New or Improved Products New or Improved Processes Improved Accuracy of Measurement Changes in Calibration or traceability Processes

29 SADC Trade in Rands Billion Current Investment to sustain trade = R6 500 million/decade (SA spent R1 500 ) Investment needed to support Trade of R billion in 2020 = R million for next decade

30 Aflatoxin poisoning worst in Africa Global distribution of aflatoxin health burden (DALYs per population)

31 Cooperation in Food Safety and Food Trade South African Alerts/ notifications/border rejections from EU 01/01/ /03/2014 received from the European Commission Rapid Alert System for food and feed (RASFF) Organoleptic properties 3% Pathogenic microorganisms 3% Unauthorised food additives 4% Heavy metals 4% Poor controls (temperature) 5% Parasitic Infestation Pesticide residues 17% 3% Composition 3% Adulteration 1% Mycotoxins 57%

32 If we assume that SADC countries like other lower-income countries are losing about 14% of their agrifood exports to non-compliance with SPS measures, the region is losing $US3,5 million a year in export trade

33 Measurement to Sustain Export and protect the Populace RSA imports app. R10 to R20 million CRMs p/a for accurate mycotoxin and pesticide analysis If the 5 major testing sectors are included more than R100 million CRMs are imported for accurate testing. This figure can be double as not all testing laboratories discloses

34 AFFRMP Plans for African Feed and Food Reference Materials Programme Nuts, maize, spice, cereal, coffee, cacao, wine, fruits, fruit juices, cheese Mycotoxin calibrants Calibration Solutions Matrix reference materials Proficiency Testing Schemes

35 No Photovoltaics without Accurate Measurement NMISA at the Forefront in SA EXPENSIVE Improve Efficiency of Solar Cells with Nanowires

36 Beneficiation and Fabrication NMISA provides Accurate Material Characterisation

37 Health: NMS and Calibration for Ionising Radiation, Sonar, Blood Pressure, Weight (Mass), Dose, etc.

38 Nano flow UPLC MS/MS APGC Synapt G2 TOFMS UV

39 Old ICP-MS GC-MS/MS New ICP-MS

40 Time-of-flight Secondary Ion MS X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscope

41 Optical microscope EDS SEM Optical microscope synchronized with the Scanning Electron Microscope Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy detector; allowing elemental analysis

42 Leica Laser Tracker Macro coordinate measuring machine (CMM) Form Telesurf (surface texture)

43 Micro-Hardness Atomic Force Microscope Micro-CMM Spectroradiometer 50 diameter integrating sphere (measure optical properties of LEDs)

44 Susceptometer 1 kg weight Volume comparator (Fluorinert-FC 40)

45 Gas cylinder filling station Breath simulation alcohol (wet method) To calibrate the new breathalyzer instruments

50 Enter the NEW NMISA!

51 The New NMISA: Brief history of the Project 1947 The forerunner of the CSIR National Metrology Laboratory (NML) is formed 1957 The NML occupies building 4 and 5 on the new Scientia campus 2006 The Measurement Units and Measurement Standards Act, no. 18 of 2006, is promulgated. It establishes the NMISA 2007 On 1 May NMISA officially starts business. The entity is transferred as a going concern from CSIR NMISA Management motivates to the dti that a recapitalisation of its facilities is urgently needed With the blessing of the dti, a motivation is prepared for additional CAPEX over the MTEF period (and beyond). It is successful and a dedicated Grant for Recapitalisation is published

52 Brief history of the Project 2011 In response to a question from the Minister, NMISA embark upon a study to assess options for new accommodation 2011/ (March) 2016 (Aug) Following a presentation on the options, the dti indicated that it supports the request for new accommodation and set up a meeting with NT to discuss funding. The NMISA is tasked to register a PPP at NT The Project is registered, a Project officer and Transaction advisors are appointed and the feasibility study commences The Needs and Option Analyses are conducted. It includes a full evaluation of the metrology needs of Sam how it can be addressed and what accommodation and instrumentation are needed The NMISA Board approves the final Feasibility study and NMISA with the blessing of the dti submits to NT for TA1 approval NMISA receives a firm commitment from the dti that the recapitalisation Grant portion for CAPEX will be allocated towards the final project. Meetings commence with NT Finance

55 Blocking & Stacking TECHNICAL DUE DILIGENCE

56 Conclusion Africa can t afford to miss Industry 4.0! Scientific Metrology can assist the continent to move up the value chain: from importer to exporter The assistance of the BIPM and other NMIs to assist with the development of Metrologists in Emerging Economies is crucial

57 We may be a new kid on the block
