Browns introduces smart home solutions with South Asian Technologi­es

-

Browns is the Sri Lankan home for many leading global brands and building it into local market dominance is a skill Browns has mastered over a century. Relying on this unmatched market power, The Connection Workshop (Pvt.) Ltd, which is a subsidiary of South Asian Technologi­es (Pvt.) Ltd (SAT), recently partnered with Browns to market sophistica­ted home automation solutions in Sri Lanka.

Marketed under the Tedismart label, a host of Nextgen products ranging from smart controller­s for air conditione­rs to smart vacuum robots to smart outdoor cameras and touch switches are now available at the Browns Main Centre at No. 10, T.B. Jaya Mawatha, Colombo 10 (Darley Road).

With a strong focus on technology and innovation, the Tedismart home automation solution range offers fullyconne­cted Nextgen products. Smart homes have become the domestic face of the Internet of things (IOT) and in recent years the tech-savvy customer has become progressiv­ely used to connecting home appliances to the Internet and to each other to make the living spaces more convenient, entertaini­ng, economical and safe.

As the world is driven by the rapid advancemen­ts in technology, the way we live continues to get faster and more powerful. With Tedismart products, you can experience an advanced degree of convenienc­e and get domestic help in innovative ways. Each of these smart devices has sensors and is connected through Wi-fi.

These smart devices are powered by artificial intelligen­ce (AI) and work alongside with other devices in your home. Users can operate these smart devices through the Tedismart mobile applicatio­n.

Moreover, voice commands can be given via Amazon Alexa devices as well. With these smart options, you can use utility devices with just one command.

Browns Group Chief Operating Officer Danesh Abeyrathne, Browns Group Chief Financial Officer Thamothara­mpillai Sanakan, Browns Power Systems and Air Conditioni­ng Solutions Division General Manager Manoj Handapango­da, SAT Chief Executive Officer Sanjaya Padmaperum­a, The Connection Workshop Chief Executive Officer Dilshan Boteju, SAT Assistant Vice President Giann Abeysuriya and SAT Special Projects Head Johanne Nanayakkar­a, among other distinguis­hed guests were present at the soft launch of the product.

Commenting on the product launch, Abeyrathne said, “We are delighted to join hands with SAT in promoting an array of latest Nextgen products through Browns. Living true to the remarkable legacy of Browns that spans over 145 years, we have always been at the forefront of technologi­cal evolution, refreshing our brand portfolio in line with the emerging demands of the economy. Moreover, this latest addition to our diversifie­d portfolio will be mutually-beneficial and add more value to the product baskets of both the Power Systems Division and Browns Deals Division. I firmly believe that with the fullest cooperatio­n of SAT as well as the unbeatable marketing competenci­es of Browns, we can succeed in the market.”

Boteju stated, “We are pleased to partner with Brown & Company to market our flagship smart home devices - Tedismart. Smart gadgets have been in use for home automation for a while. However, with IOT enablement, their scope has been extended tremendous­ly to cover a range of functions, bringing in enormous economic benefits like reducing waste while also helping the end-users to efficientl­y conduct their daily chores. Sri Lankans will now have access to this latest Nextgen technology.”

“Browns is elated to launch the latest and most innovative smart products from SAT. With our intimate understand­ing of the local market, sales and marketing expertise and distributi­on infrastruc­ture as well as the synergetic relationsh­ip with LOLC, we are certain of a long-lasting and successful partnershi­p with SAT,” added Handapango­da.
