As a former 'world factory', the traditional home appliance industry in China is accelerating the exploration and application of various artificial intelligence technologies to meet the diverse needs of consumers and to seek a 'smart upgrade' path for the entire industry.
It can collect temperature, humidity and air quality index, develop and update sweeping robot for cleaning plan, regularly monitor the shelf life of food in refrigerator, prompt outdated information, and automatically generate recipes to help users to make shopping plan smart refrigerator. Ring connection, according to user health adjustment mode of operation of air conditioners and air purifiers; if you forget to turn off the gas, smart gas stoves can immediately send an alarm to the user's cell phone, or according to the instructions of the initiative to turn off the stove ...... These may sound like in science fiction The products in the movie are being realized in laboratories, production workshops and online sales platforms of major home appliance enterprises in China.
Recently, Hefei Meiling has released a 'smart' refrigerator with smart cooling capacity allocation and smart identification technology, which not only can automatically identify the ingredients and prompt outdated information, but also break the traditional refrigerating and freezing natural partitions and can be pressed according to user's wishes Prior to this, Meiling has released a new product based on the wisdom of fresh technology system to intelligent, frequency conversion, controlled fresh three major technology support, the main high-end market.
'Bill Gates is circulating online: in the future, a house without a smart home system will not be as trendy as a home that does not have access today, and now we may feel that fresh technology will become available in a matter of a few years' time Very common! 'Just changed home to a smart refrigerator, adding a sweeping robot Liu Jun, Hefei, said so.
According to the 2017 China Artificial Intelligence Industry Research Report released by the China Academy of Business Research, the market size of China's artificial intelligence market in 2016 reached 9.661 billion yuan, a growth rate of 37.9%. The market size of artificial intelligence continued to grow. It is estimated that in 2017, 13 billion yuan, and is expected to exceed 20 billion yuan by 2018.
Smart home is one of the important applications of artificial intelligence.China's leading home appliance sales platform Suning Tesco released a report shows that during the 11 Golden Week this year, the unit price of more than 7,000 yuan in home appliances sales growth of more than 170%, and these Most high-end products are equipped with artificial intelligence technology.
Industry experts believe that such young generation and middle-class families like Liu Jun have become the main force in the consumption of Chinese home appliance products. They are willing to pay for high-tech smart appliances without any lack of spending power. What they need is more advanced Function and experience.
'Carrying out the concept of new development and building a modern economic system' has become an important part of the report of the 19th National Congress. In this part, the first proposal is to 'deepen the supply-side structural reform' and at the same time 'promote the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence Deep integration with the real economy '.
With the rapid development of intelligent and Internet of Things, smart home is entering the fast track of development. The global appliance intelligent is only the first step toward the Long March. The road ahead is still long and the market is vast. Continued investment, technological innovation. "In the recently held 2017 China Household Electrical Appliances Technology Conference, Jiang China Association of Household Appliances Jiang Feng said.
Analysis of many market consulting agencies said that as the home appliance industry, "the closest manufacturing consumer with consumers," is speeding on this new path forward, the enthusiasm of well-known companies to introduce new products is also continuing to increase.
Haier recently introduced a smart water heater, has been developed from the phone control to set the temperature with the voice, and record and analyze the family members of the bathing habits, and can be combined with the local ladder tariff policy to help users create a variety of energy-saving programs.
And Midea's production of a smart rice cooker that can identify the world's more than 2,000 kinds of rice varieties, the best cooking program to choose after the United States acquired the German robot giant KUKA, designed to layout the field of artificial intelligence.
Changhong's AI televisions have achieved natural voice interaction and deep learning, especially at the 'cognitive' level, enabling people-centered, efficient voice interaction coordination and understanding of semantic recognition.
The industry believes that artificial intelligence will not only make the world-renowned traditional Chinese home appliance industry to find new growth point of production and marketing, will also be born from the new business model.
Previously, Li Hongyan, director of artificial intelligence and head of the robot team at Haid Institute of Art and Intelligence, hosted by CCID Consulting, predicted that in the future, artificial intelligence will enable different appliances to be implemented by multiple sensors Interoperability, combined with big data, cloud computing to create user portraits, accurate information mining and recommendation.
'So that the sale of traditional home appliances can be upgraded to a long-term smart service model,' he said.
However, some insiders also pointed out that the artificial intelligence technology still needs to solve two problems. One is to achieve standardization and platform sharing so as to change the current situation that smart products launched by different brands may require users to use different operating platforms and download different mobile phone APPs , So that product interoperability and improve the degree of integration; the second is to develop more intelligent applications based on user experience, so that appliances more 'smart and caring'.
