FUNAAB Launches Innovative WeTool App on Google Play Store to Advance Smart Agriculture
According to the Ag. Head, Directorate of Public Relations, FUNAAB, Mr. Olasunkanmi Olajide, the launch represents another milestone in the University’s commitment to producing practical, technology-driven solutions that address real-world challenges through interdisciplinary research and innovation.
He explained that the application was jointly developed by the Dean of the College of Computing Sciences, Prof. Oluwasefunmi Arogundade, and Prof. Olufemi Akinola of the Department of Animal Nutrition in the College of Animal Science and Livestock Production (COLANIM). The collaboration combines expertise in computing and Animal Science to deliver a solution tailored to the needs of agriculture and related industries.
Mr. Olajide noted that WeTool is specifically designed to assist users in sorting, distributing, and equalising weights across multiple partitions with speed and accuracy. The application is expected to benefit Animal Scientists, livestock producers, farmers, laboratory personnel, technicians, researchers, and other professionals who routinely perform weight allocation and balancing operations.
He added that integrating agricultural knowledge with advanced software engineering has resulted in an application that is not only technically robust but also highly relevant to practical field operations. By simplifying complex weight distribution processes, WeTool helps users reduce errors, improve efficiency, and enhance decision-making.
The Ag. Head of Public Relations further stated that the innovation reflects FUNAAB’s growing leadership in digital transformation, applied research, and technology commercialisation. He described the SmartAgro Research Cluster as a hub for developing intelligent solutions that support sustainable agriculture and national development.
Meanwhile, the launch of WeTool has further reinforced FUNAAB’s reputation as one of Africa’s leading universities in agricultural research and technological innovation. It also highlights the institution’s commitment to fostering interdisciplinary partnerships that translate academic research into impactful products capable of creating value for agriculture, science, industry, and society.
