Automated Green Fingers

The future of our industries lies in automation and AI. More and more companies are embracing this new change and the Malaysian Agriculture field is no different.

Agro Stream Sdn Bhd started off as Shawal Technologies Sdn Bhd, a company that specialises in offering services such as PCB design and hardware integration.However, their interest shifted towards smart farming system development, which led them to establish their own cloud-based platform and hardware for the smart farming system.

Focusing more on hydroponics and fertigation techniques, they aim to help businesses and farmers boost work efficiency and production quality in efforts of promoting Malaysia achieving UN’s sustainable development goals.

Today, we will be talking to the co-founders of Agro Stream; Badar Ali and Muhamad Shawal
