Leading the digitalization of the water industry from 'water purifiers to water treatment plants'
Plans to expand into precision industries (pure and ultrapure water processes) and inspection and diagnosis fields (medical, food)
New technology certification with a '10% passing rate', opportunity to gain priority purchase from public institutions
The Wave Talk (CEO Kim Young-deok), an AI deep learning turbidity and microbiological sensor specialist, announced on the 11th that its technology has received national new technology (NET) certification from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The technology of The Wave Talk, which received this certification, is based on the deep learning algorithm technology developed in-house as a ‘technology for high-speed detection of turbidity and microorganisms in purified water.’ It is a technology that can simultaneously and quickly measure the amount of microorganisms (bacteria) along with the world’s first maintenance-free ultra-small turbidity sensor that has already been verified through KOLAS (Korea Organic Accreditation Scheme). It is approximately 100,000 times more precise (LoD: 100 CFU/mL) than existing optical equipment and can provide microbial measurement results 40 times faster than the culture method. It is expected to have a big impact in the precision industry, medicine, and food fields where the measurement of fine substances is essential.
The 'New Excellent Technology (NET)' system hosted by the National Institute of Technology and Standards under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy aims to promote the commercialization and technology transactions of new technologies developed by domestic companies, research institutes, and universities by discovering them early and certifying their excellence, and to create a foundation for early market entry by increasing the reliability of products utilizing such technologies and creating purchasing power .
This certification can be obtained through a rigorous screening process, and is granted to original new technologies, technologies that are superior to or equivalent to advanced countries and commercializable, and technologies that can contribute to improving national technological capabilities and enhancing external competitiveness. It is known that only 10-15% of companies that apply pass.
CEO Kim Young-dug said, "The new technology certification of The Wave Talk's 'Turbidity and Bacteria High-Speed Detection Technology in Purified Water Equipped with Deep Learning Algorithm' is even more significant because it is highly evaluated for both its technological prowess and commercialization potential. Real-time turbidity and bacteria concentration measurement for the entire value chain of the water industry will be a key solution for the ' digitalization of the water industry . '" He added, "Starting in 2025, we will begin mass-producing and supplying sensors to domestic water purifier companies to generate stable sales. In addition, bacteria testing equipment for precision industries that use pure and ultra-pure water, such as semiconductor and display processes , and for inspection and diagnosis fields (medical, food) is scheduled to be launched in earnest."
