MP Dr. Harsha de Silva was one of the many visitors to govi.ai demo station  

Govi.ai, a leading innovator in agricultural internet of things (IoT) solutions, presented a very successful programme at the recent Future Harvest Exhibition held at the Bandaranayake

Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH).
The govi.ai team showcased their innovative agri tech solutions in a live demo station, catered to empowering farmers (from smallholders to commercial) to adopt a data-driven approach to farming. MP Dr. Harsha de Silva was one of the many visitors to the govi.ai demo station, commenting, “As a modern farmer myself, I found the tech innovations by govi.ai most appropriate in moving the needle in improving the efficiency of farmers. Agri tech is an absolute essential element in pushing up farmer productivity and I hope govi.ai will success in getting the rather tech-averse farmers to see the benefits of this technology.”

Govi.ai utilises Sri Lankan designed, engineered and assembled IoT technology to enable farmers and farm operators, to monitor and manage their farm operations remotely and automatically, through its suite of integrated sensors and controllers. Users can monitor farm (open field, poly tunnel, greenhouse) conditions such as temperature, humidity, light, resource utilisation, CO2 and more. Dashboards provide real-time information to aid in planning of crop planting and harvesting and managing important resources such as water, fertiliser and electricity. This information not only supports farmers but provides useful insights, down the agri value chain, for consumers to know the origins of their food produce. Speaking of the event, Azend Technologies CEO and Director Rajive Silva mentioned, “This expo was a valuable opportunity for the agricultural sector in highlighting the power of agrotechnology solutions such as govi.ai, in empowering stakeholders in one of Sri Lanka’s most important industries. At govi.ai, we are committed to leveraging our technical expertise in providing the agriculture sector with resilient, data-driven solutions that both uplift communities and connect the entire value chain, from farm to fork.”
