Field sensing
Low-power sensor nodes for soil moisture, microclimate and crop conditions — prototyped to survive tropical heat, monsoon rain and long stretches off-grid.

Agri-tech built for Sri Lankan fields
Our next frontier: low-cost field sensing, farm data and automation for agriculture — engineered in Sri Lanka, for Sri Lankan growing conditions. Launching 2026.
Why agriculture,
why now.
Agriculture feeds Sri Lanka and employs a huge share of it — yet most fields are still managed on instinct, because the tools that measure soil, water and climate are imported, expensive, and designed for farms nothing like ours.
Hardware built for temperate mega-farms struggles here: tropical heat, monsoon humidity, patchy connectivity and power cuts break equipment that was never engineered for these conditions — and its price puts it out of reach of the smallholders who grow most of the country's food.
We think the fix is engineering that starts here: affordable, repairable, open technology designed around local crops, local weather and local budgets.
What we're
building.
Three research threads, moving from prototype to field pilot.
Farm data
Dashboards that turn field measurements into decisions — when to irrigate, feed and harvest — designed for a phone in the field, not a control room.
In researchAutomation
Irrigation and monitoring that acts on sensor data by itself — saving water, labour and crops for smallholdings and estates alike.
In researchBuilt in the open,
on proven ground.
This isn't a cold start. Our EdgeLLM library already runs AI on the same class of microcontrollers that field sensors use, and our 3D-printing division prototypes the weatherproof enclosures and mounts in-house, in days rather than shipping cycles.
Like everything we make, the agri-tech stack will be published in the open — auditable, extensible and repairable. Follow the work on GitHub or track the milestone on our roadmap.
Common questions.
When does Eonix Agri-Tech launch?
The division is planned for 2026 and is currently in active research and prototyping. Progress is tracked on our public roadmap, and the waitlist is the first to hear when field pilots open.
Who is Eonix Agri-Tech for?
Smallholder farmers, estates and growers who want field data without control-room budgets — plus researchers and organisations interested in piloting or partnering on agricultural technology in Sri Lanka.
How can I get involved?
Join the waitlist to be notified at launch, or contact us directly if you'd like to discuss a pilot, a partnership or a specific problem on your land. Our engineering work is published in the open on GitHub.
