SM4RT TANI is combining traditional farming with state-of-the-art Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based solutions to provide Malaysian farmers with robust digital tools that aim to revolutionize the agriculture industry.
SM4RT TANI says it is doing its part in Malaysia’s continued efforts to expand its digital footprint by enabling local farmers to increase their efficiency, productivity, and yield with cutting edge solutions.
Despite contributing 12% of the national GDP and providing employment for 16% of the population, the agriculture sector has been relatively slow in the adoption rate of modern technology.
Most of this stems from the perception that modern options such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and IoT solutions are expensive and aren’t viable for the agriculture industry.
The SM4RT TANI, a homegrown agritech platform, is changing this perception by enabling farmers to obtain accurate information and readings about their crops seamlessly and in real-time, thereby maximizing efficiency and yield.
By utilizing Sigfox’s Zero-G Network supplied by Malaysia’s first licensed IoT provider, Xperanti IoT, and other IoT connectivity solutions, the system ensures that farmers have access to real-time pH and weather monitoring, pest control, crop monitoring, and more.
Utilizing state-of-the-art sensors which are connected to a central mainframe, the crops are monitored via the SATU dashboard.
“User-friendly and convenient, the dashboard allows farmers to access alerts, corrections, and reports generated in real-time.
“Beyond that, SM4RT TANI is highly customizable and is designed to meet the unique needs of each user, showing specially curated information that is relevant only to their specific use case and crop type,” says the media statement
