中文摘要
RootWave是Ubiqutek Ltd.的品牌。RootWave设计和销售使用电力除草的产品(EWeding)。杂草控制对粮食生产至关重要。出于安全和抗性方面的考虑,世界各地的监管机构正在限制和禁止除草剂。制造商正在将除草剂从现在由于诉讼费用而无利可图的市场中撤出。出于安全考虑,消费者越来越多地购买有机食品。RootWave的专利和专有技术能够以比除草剂和其他替代技术更低的成本更好地控制杂草,同时保护我们的健康,帮助自然封存碳并恢复土壤、水和生物多样性。RootWave销售其专为公园、花园和入侵物种(如日本结缕草)设计的手动除草机。RootWave开发并试验了果园和葡萄园的试生产原型,作为改造食品生产赠款项目的一部分。RootWave将在2024年上半年向早期采用者交付几台机器。该项目迭代其水果机器的试生产原型以降低成本,收集广泛的用户对产品的反馈,解决质量问题,添加早期采用者要求的必备功能,并确保设计已准备好投入生产。RootWave的产品可以通过节省喷洒在我们环境中的除草剂、为除草剂容器制造的一次性塑料以及为制造除草剂产生的能量而对世界产生重大影响。
英文摘要
RootWave is the brand of Ubiqutek Ltd.RootWave designs and sells products that use electricity to kill weeds (eWeeding). Weed control is critical for food production.Herbicides are being restricted and banned around the world by regulators because of safety and resistance concerns. Manufacturers are withdrawing herbicides from markets that are now unprofitable due to litigation costs. Consumers are increasingly buying organic food because of safety concerns.RootWave's patented and proprietary technology gives better weed control at a lower cost than herbicides and other alternative technologies, whilst protecting our health and helping nature sequester carbon and restore its soils, water and biodiversity.RootWave sells its hand-weeder designed for parks, gardens and invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed. RootWave developed and trialled a pre-production prototype for orchards and vineyards as part of a Transforming Food Production grant project. RootWave is delivering several machines to early adopters during the first half of 2024\.This project iterate pre-production prototype of its fruit machine to reduce costs, collect extensive user feedback on product, address quality issues, add must-have features requested by early adopters, and ensure the design is ready for production.RootWave's products can make a significant impact to the world by saving herbicide sprayed in our environment, single-use plastic manufactured for herbicide containers, and energy generated for the manufacture of herbicides.
