Today
SmartMowBot for overseas brands
The UNICUT platform reaches overseas brand owners, distributors and OEM and ODM partners through SmartMowBot.
The three names on a SmartMowBot programme
A buyer-side programme touches three names on our side, and each name carries a specific role. Sunteam Group is the parent and the production muscle. GOALKER is the engineering team that owns the robotic mower platform. SmartMowBot is the channel that opens the platform to overseas brands. The three names share the same site.
Parent group
Sunteam Group
Sunteam Group has been an engineering and manufacturing company for outdoor power equipment since 1997, and listed on the public market in 2015. The robotic mower line sits inside that wider outdoor power business, which gives the SmartMowBot platform a parent older than the robotic mower category itself.
Robotic mower R&D centre
GOALKER
GOALKER is the robotic mower brand and engineering centre that opened in 2023. The team owns the platform IP behind UNICUT and has filed multiple patents through ongoing product development. GOALKER picks the navigation stack, the AI vision model and the app, then hands the locked spec to the same factory for production.
Overseas channel
SmartMowBot
SmartMowBot is the export channel that opens the UNICUT platform to overseas brand owners, distributors and OEM and ODM buyers. The channel translates the GOALKER platform into a programme conversation a brand can sign, and runs the buyer-side relationship from inquiry through to production handover with the Sunteam Group factory.
What the factory owns in-house
Whole-machine assembly, mainboard design and production, embedded software, and joint development all live on the same site. Spec-lock, prototype and mass production never cross a city. A brand programme can move from a spec sheet to a production line without changing factory.
Whole-machine assembly
Final assembly, QA and packing run on the same site that builds the sub-assemblies, with no contract assembler hand-off in between.
PCBA design and production
Mainboard layout, sourcing and SMT happen under one roof, so a schematic change becomes a revised board on the same site.
Embedded software in-house
Navigation firmware, the GFLS stack, the AI vision model and the SmartMowBot app are written and validated by the same team that ships them. See how the platform works for the engineering detail.
Joint development on request
The spec opens to the brand on request, with co-design across mechanical, electronics, firmware and app branding when the programme warrants it.
One platform · four coverage classes
A brand programme picks a coverage class, not a part number. UNICUT is the engineering platform underneath all four. H5 covers small properties on pure vision, H3 and H3 PRO carry the mid range with fused navigation, and H1 sits at the top of the coverage scale. The four share the same factory and the same engineering team.
Why overseas brands pick this factory
The four trust lines below sit in one band, in one place on the page. No badges, no client logos, no fabricated certifications. The evidence is the years on the heritage ribbon above and the scope on the pillars above.
Heritage you can audit
Sunteam Group has built outdoor power equipment since 1997 and has been publicly listed since 2015. GOALKER opened the robotic mower R&D centre in 2023.
Brain and body in-house
PCBA, embedded firmware, the GFLS navigation stack, the AI vision model and the SmartMowBot app are built by the same team that ships them.
One site, spec-lock to MP
Spec-lock, prototype and mass production happen on the same site. No contract-assembler seam between R&D and the production line.
Open to OEM, ODM and private-label
A programme can run as full-custom OEM, platform ODM or private-label. Pick the engagement that matches the budget and the timeline.
