Part 2 · Commercial Tracks

OEM, ODM and Private-Label Manufacturing

Three engagement tracks for overseas brand owners, distributors and retailers, all running on the same UNICUT platform and Wuhan production line.

OEM: UNICUT platform on your brand

Built for brand owners and distributors who need to launch a robotic mower line fast on a proven platform.

Production of the existing UNICUT models with your logo, colour, packaging and manual. Engineering is fixed; lead time is set by your order volume.

ODM: Custom build on the UNICUT platform

Built for established brands needing a differentiated SKU rather than a relabelled stock unit.

Joint specification on coverage class, cutting deck, sensor mix, app branding and accessory set. We adjust the platform; you own the differentiated product.

Private-Label / White-Label

Built for retailers, chain channels and category brands sourcing a finished product to ship under their own name.

Finished UNICUT units packed and shipped under your label. Carton, manual, app skin and after-sales identity follow your brand. Engineering stays on our side.

Part 2 · In-House Scope

In-House Whole Machine, PCBA, Software and Joint Development

The platform behind every UNICUT unit is built in one place: mechanical assembly, electronics, control software and co-developed projects.

Part 3 · Technology Depth

GFLS Localization with RTK, VSLAM and AI Vision

GFLS, the Goalker Fusion Localization System, fuses RTK and VSLAM on UNICUT H1, H3 and H3 PRO; the H5 navigates on pure vision without RTK.

GFLS localization system diagram showing RTK, VSLAM and AI vision layers
01

GFLS fusion: RTK plus VSLAM

On H1, H3 and H3 PRO, RTK + VSLAM delivers centimetre-level outdoor positioning while VSLAM keeps the unit oriented when satellite signal drops under tree canopy or near walls. The two layers run in parallel and hand off without restarting the mowing path.

02

AI vision over 300 object types (all UNICUT models)

A trained vision model identifies more than three hundred object types in the lawn environment, from garden hoses and pets to children and furniture, so the unit slows or detours instead of bumping every obstacle as a generic block.

03

No perimeter wire boundary (all UNICUT models)

First-time setup walks the unit once around the lawn to record the boundary. No perimeter wire, no boundary trench, no installer trip. Buyers can update the map in app whenever the property changes.

04

App-defined virtual boundary, no-go zones, virtual walls and narrow passages (all UNICUT models)

Inside the boundary, the buyer draws no-go zones around flower beds or pools, sets virtual walls to split zones, marks narrow passages between lawn sections and assigns multiple working areas with separate schedules.

Localization scope: GFLS (RTK + VSLAM) ships on UNICUT H1, H3 and H3 PRO. UNICUT H5 navigates on pure vision without an RTK module, so it skips the RTK setup step and runs the same AI-vision avoidance, no-perimeter-wire boundary and app management as the rest of the range.

GFLS hardware · in-house

We build the GFLS boards, RTK modules and vision pipelines on our own Wuhan line.

Part 3 · Operating Intelligence

Autonomous Operation: Auto-Return, Rain Detection and OTA

Day-to-day behaviour every UNICUT unit ships with, so brand and distributor support teams field fewer first-week questions.

Auto-return and resume cutting

When charge drops below threshold the unit returns to the dock, recharges, and resumes mowing from the exact point it stopped.

Rain detection auto-return

Onboard rain sensor sends the unit back to the dock when rain starts and releases it once the weather clears, without manual recall.

OTA firmware updates

Navigation firmware, GFLS stack and AI vision models update over the air, so deployed fleets stay on the same software baseline.

WiFi, Bluetooth and app multi-zone management

Owners pair over WiFi and Bluetooth, define multiple work areas with separate schedules and share access with on-site teams from the app.

Part 4 · Trust Concentrated

Backed by Sunteam Group, Building Outdoor Power Equipment Since 1997

SmartMowBot is the export channel of Sunteam Group. The four signals below are the only place on this page where company history and in-house scope are stated.

1997

Founded 1997

Sunteam Group has designed and produced outdoor power equipment since 1997, predating the robot mower category and bringing two decades of mechanical and motor experience into the platform.

2015

Publicly listed 2015

Sunteam Group has been publicly listed since 2015, with the reporting discipline and supply continuity that listed-company status imposes on R&D, procurement and quality systems.

Wuhan engineering and production base

The mechanical line, electronics line and software team work out of one Wuhan facility, so spec lock, sampling and mass production happen on the same site, not across subcontractors.

Whole machine, PCBA and software in-house

Mechanical assembly, control board design and assembly, and the navigation, GFLS and AI vision software stack are all built by Sunteam teams. No layer is outsourced to a black-box vendor.

Part 4 · Engagement Structure

Sourcing From a Manufacturer Versus a Trading Company

Six decision points a robot mower buyer evaluates when picking a supplier, mapped against a source-factory engagement and a trading-company engagement.

Decision point Sourcing from SmartMowBot (manufacturer) Sourcing from a trading company
BOM transparency Full bill of materials visible; component changes go through your engineering sign-off. BOM held by the upstream factory; the buyer sees a finished SKU, not the parts list.
Algorithm responsibility Navigation, GFLS, AI vision and firmware owned by Sunteam software team; bug fixes route to one team. Algorithm sits with a separate factory; trading company forwards issues without root-cause access.
Customisation depth Spec class, cutting deck, sensor mix, app branding and accessory set are all adjustable. Cosmetic changes (logo, colour, carton) usually possible; mechanical or firmware change rarely possible.
Sampling response Pre-production sample built on the same Wuhan line that will run the order. Sample sourced from the upstream factory's standard inventory; line of production not guaranteed.
After-sales channel Direct technical line to the team that built the unit; field data feeds back into OTA updates. After-sales raised through the trading company, then forwarded; turnaround depends on middleman bandwidth.
Long-term supply stability Production scheduled against your forecast, with priority arbitrated inside one company. Allocation depends on the upstream factory's own brand priority and other trader orders.

Part 4 · Cooperation Mechanics

Cooperation Structure: MOQ Tiers, Sampling, Payment and Lead Time

How a SmartMowBot programme is set up before unit pricing is discussed, so the buyer can fit the deal shape into their procurement process.

MOQ tiers by track

MOQ is tier-based and confirmed per project. The three commercial tracks carry different MOQ logic:

  • OEM (relabel of UNICUT platform): the lowest MOQ tier of the three, because engineering is fixed and only branding components are changed per order.
  • ODM (custom build on UNICUT platform): a higher MOQ tier, set so that tooling, board adjustments or sensor mix changes are amortised across the run.
  • Private-Label / White-Label: MOQ tier set against finished-product packing, carton and warehousing logistics.

The exact tier for each track is confirmed against the buyer's spec and forecast, not published as a fixed number.

Sampling

  • Pre-production sample built after the spec sheet is locked.
  • Sample is a paid item; cost and timeline are quoted with the spec sheet.
  • Buyers evaluate the sample in their target market before authorising the pilot run.

Payment structure

  • Deposit on order confirmation plus balance against shipping documents for OEM and Private-Label tracks.
  • Milestone-based payment (tooling, sampling, pilot, mass production) for ODM programmes where engineering work happens up front.
  • Currency, instrument and specific percentages are confirmed in the quotation; this section states the structure only.

Lead time, staged

  • Spec lock to sample: confirmed against the change list.
  • Sample to pilot run: depends on board, sensor and firmware change scope.
  • Pilot run to mass production: scheduled against the buyer's forecast and the production calendar.
  • Each stage carries its own lead-time entry in the quotation; the buyer sees the schedule before committing.

Part 4 · Deal Flow

From Inquiry to Mass Production in Five Steps

The standard sequence from first contact to a shipping container, so buyers can map the engagement onto their internal calendar.

  1. 1

    Inquiry

    The buyer shares the commercial track (OEM / ODM / Private-Label), target market, indicative annual volume and any model preference inside the UNICUT range.

  2. 2

    Technical alignment

    Engineering and the buyer lock the spec sheet: model, cutting class, sensor mix, app branding and accessory list. An NDA is signed if the project requires it.

  3. 3

    Sampling

    A pre-production sample is built on the Wuhan line, shipped to the buyer and evaluated against the locked spec sheet in the target use environment.

  4. 4

    Pilot run

    A limited production batch is run on the same line that will hold the order; the buyer signs off quality before mass production is released.

  5. 5

    Mass production

    The forecast is converted into a production schedule, units are produced, packed under the agreed brand and shipped against the buyer's logistics setup.

Part 4 · What You Get

What You Get Before Committing

Three commitments a brand or distributor can expect before any purchase order is placed against a SmartMowBot programme.

Free technical consultation

Engineering reviews the buyer's spec, market and forecast at no charge, so a programme starts with a clear technical brief rather than a generic sales pitch.

NDA available on request

A mutual non-disclosure agreement is signed before sensitive spec, brand and roadmap detail is shared, so the buyer's product intent stays inside the partnership.

Independent sample sign-off before mass production

The pre-production sample is evaluated by the buyer in the target market and signed off in writing before mass production is authorised.

Items above are programme-level commitments. Warranty and after-sales terms are confirmed in the quotation, not advertised here.
