It is a first in the history of Morocco’s educational system. This Friday, May 8th, in Skhirat, the production line of a 100% Moroccan-made device was officially launched. Designed to detect and neutralize cheating and espionage during exams through radio wave detection, the factory has a production capacity of 250 units per day — a testament to the industrial scale of the project.
Developed and manufactured by startup SensThings, incubated at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), this device represents the second generation of the “T3 Shield” system — a portable and highly sophisticated tool dedicated to combating fraud in examinations and competitions organized in Morocco.
The T3 Shield stands out for its compactness and power. An all-in-one unit weighing less than 3 kilograms, it integrates AI Edge technology, enabling it to detect electronic devices in complete autonomy, without any cloud connection. It offers up to 6 continuous hours of operation, covering an entire examination session.
The device features four distinct operational modes: room inspection, bag screening, individual search, and precise localization of suspicious signal sources — providing comprehensive coverage of all potential cheating vectors.
The ambition matches the stakes. The device is intended for deployment across all examinations and competitions organized in Morocco, whether school or university exams, or entrance competitions for institutions and the civil service. Designed as a versatile piece of equipment, it can be mobilized whenever the integrity of an assessment requires it.
A major milestone that illustrates the growing strength of Moroccan industrial innovation, driven by UM6P’s research and entrepreneurship ecosystem, and positions Morocco among the rare countries to rely on sovereign technology to preserve the integrity of its examinations.
