Recap: AWS IoT Innovators Network with Gardin Agritech
This month’s AWS IoT Innovators Network event brought together a vibrant community of IoT professionals, engineers, and innovators at our roundtable hosted in partnership with Aqua Libra and Gardin Agritech. The atmosphere was relaxed but rich with insight, ideas, and real-world IoT inspiration.
Spotlight Session: Gardin Agritech
We were thrilled to welcome Connor Goddard, Lead Engineer (Cloud and Platform) and Cyber/InfoSec Lead at Gardin, to the spotlight. His talk, “Transforming the climate computer into the plant computer,” explored how Gardin is empowering growers with real-time plant intelligence.
Key takeaway from Gardin:
Connor’s approach showed how leveraging existing AWS IoT capabilities—creatively and effectively—can drive real value, especially in sectors like agritech where simplicity and stability are paramount.
Gardin’s sensors deliver value through the intelligent application of a simple technology. Gardin’s sensors continue to evolve, delivering increasing insights with each new generation.
