## What is Africa-1?
Africa-1 is a **modular, military-grade, fully open-source Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)** designed from first principles for the African continent. It is not a cheaper copy of a European PLC — it is a complete redesign of industrial automation for Africa's realities: the heat, the dust, the solar power, the field technician 200 km from the nearest city.
