'We will be with you every moment your pet touches it' We met with Jesycom CEO Lee Young-seok, who has established himself under the motto, and heard his story. .

Please introduce the company.

JCCOM has been conducting business based on the manufacturing of existing infant products and optical communication small products. After 2020, we launched a new brand called Formant and focused on developing products that can help manage the health of pets. There is. The most representative product is a water purifier that can check the amount of drinking water. In the case of pets, it is impossible to drink as much water as humans do, so IoT technology can be applied to check the amount of water consumed. Helping.

In a way, the reason I launched a formant brand that was different from my existing business was because of my personal experience. I found out that my pet cat had a congenital heart defect, and I had to check its water intake every day, but it was difficult to maintain this while working at work. Therefore, we decided to develop a product that directly measures the amount of drinking and eating..

In general, many modern people living in society dream of spending 24 hours with their pets, but since it is realistically difficult, formants 'We want to provide a positive impact under the motto, 'We will be with your pet every moment it touches your pet' .

Please introduce your main products

The first water purifier launched as a formant brand 'Woody'is capable of measuring drinking water volume. It has possible functions. Because we provide an IoT service, when you connect Woody to the app, it will tell you the amount of water you should drink per day based on your pet's information and measure how much you actually drank... span>

Thanks to a self-developed algorithm, the pet's age, weight, and whether it has been neutered or not. You can find out how much you should drink per day by entering: Also, , Excluding the amount of water evaporation or emptying the water for cleaning, only the amount of water the pet actually drinks can be checked. Can help with animal health management.

Cats are particularly vulnerable to kidney disease because they do not drink water on their own. If you drink plenty of water on a regular basis, you can prevent chronic renal failure, so objectively check for changes in your water intake in advance.It can be helpful to do this.

If there are future goals and directions

When first developing a water purifier called Woody, in order to suit the picky tastes of cats, the water outlet branch, direction, span>The intensity, etc. were varied. Although creating the algorithm has become more complicated, we took more care in producing it because we thought it was necessary for pets and their owners to be together for a long time. With these efforts, I hope that Formant will become a place that comes to mind when it comes to pet healthcare brands..

Currently, we are only producing water purifiers, but in the future, we plan to introduce products using GPS so that we can check not only the amount of water consumed, but also the amount of food and activity.< /span>. We expect that if we make it possible to manage everything from one app, we will be able to create an integrated platform..

In addition, we are preparing to export woody products overseas as they have gained popularity in terms of function and design through overseas exhibitions such as California. There are quite a few pet healthcare brands, but we hope to become a brand that can represent Korea among them..
