Foxconn Leverages Skywell's "Air Water" Technology in the Launch of a New Green Initiative

LOS ANGELES, April 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skywell, a leading US water technology company, has been selected by Foxconn, one of the world’s largest manufacturing companies, to design and build a fully sustainable indoor vertical farm that will be integrated into the manufacturing facilities at Foxconn’s Wuhan, China Campus. The futuristic indoor farm will be entirely solar powered and its crops will be nourished exclusively by water generated by Skywell’s sustainable “air water” technology.

The future of sustainable agriculture is Urban Produce. The future of water conservation is Skywell. 

Urban Produce in Irvine is taking vertical farming to the extreme.

The year-old hydroponic farm is inside a 5,800-square-foot warehouse space. Artificial lighting shines on dozens of 25-foot-tall aluminum towers capable of producing 16 acres of food – from wasabi bok choy micro greens to wheatgrass.

When operating at capacity, the hydroponic farm uses less than 100 gallons of water a day. Recently, the company started experimenting with a Skywell system, which extracts moisture from the air to create fresh drinking water.

As local residents and businesses continue to feel the pressure to use less water, all they have to do is look to the oldest Major League Baseball stadium on the west coast, who is hitting out out of the park for water conservation.

Dodger Stadium, which hosts millions of fans each year through baseball season, is using cutting-edge technology to conserve water, and is looking to the sky for solutions to the drought.

California’s drought has persisted for four years, prompting the governor to order water suppliers to cut consumption by 25 percent. So how are Los Angeles landmarks responding to the water crisis?

For businesses looking to make their businesses leaner and greener, taking a look at the drinking water they provide for their employees is one place to start. Now a southern California startup, Skywell is pitching atmospheric water-generator systems, which extract water out of the air with its advanced water generators.
