The 2018 Asia Consumer Electronics Show was held recently at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. This year's grand event has almost become an artificial intelligence show. Many domestic companies have exhibited the latest technology of artificial intelligence to exhibitors and visitors.
A wide range of artificial intelligence products
The biggest bright spot in the exhibition was none other than artificial intelligence. With the rise of brands such as Alibaba, Baidu, Jingdong, Xiaomi, and Lenovo in the field of intelligence, artificial intelligence gradually flew into the homes of ordinary people.
This year's CES Asia's first artificial intelligence (AI) area, Alibaba artificial intelligence lab, Baidu DuerOS system, etc. will bring big data analysis, speech recognition and prediction technology related to the latest results. Suning from the logistics field to the life science and technology fields are There is a wide range of coverage that will also be a major highlight of the audience.
CES Asia will naturally not only domestic well-known home appliance companies. Smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, and other such products will continue to meet consumer demand and promote consumption upgrades.
TCL highlighted its latest home appliance products such as artificial intelligence TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines at this exhibition. Among them, TCL C6 New Theatre TV won the CES Asia Show '2018 Asia Consumer Electronics Show Innovation Award'. Changhong integrates the artificial intelligence technology of far-field voice collection and voiceprint recognition on TV, and its artificial intelligence smart eye cabinet is the industry's first intelligent product that integrates image, position, gesture and voice recognition. XFLY's star product, FX Translator 2.0, stands out from thousands of products, winning the CES Innovation Award from CES, the CES Asia 'Best AI Product Award', and the CES Asia 'User Choice Award'. Grand prize.
On the whole, artificial intelligence is booming. Many of the results demonstrated at CES Asia show that artificial intelligence is getting closer to our lives, highlighting the fact that China’s vibrant startup companies bring numerous innovative technologies to various industries.
All things connected are the trend of the times
A few years ago, some companies proposed to build a smart home ecosystem, but many people in the industry questioned 'only stay in the imagination, the road ahead is still very long'. At this year's CES Asia show, both giants and start-ups The diversified and smart home applications that have been widely used in the market, it seems to be using facts to respond to questions: The Internet of Things (IoT) based on IoT is a general trend.
In this exhibition, despite the dazzling demonstration of artificial intelligence technology and various achievements, the artificial voice assistant for household appliances is obviously closer to people's lives and easier to implement. Artificial intelligence introduced by home appliance companies In terms of technology, mainly artificial voice assistants, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and other household appliances can easily control home appliances through voice, freeing people’s hands. Of course, some home appliance companies do not stop there. They also introduce a series of smart devices. Home products, such as sweeping robots, curtains, sockets, switches, door locks and some smart home products, but for the audience this is obviously less direct than the experience of artificial voice.
As a global household appliance manufacturing country, China’s home appliance industry has been ranked first in the world for many years in production scale. According to statistics, in 2017, the main business income of China’s home appliance industry reached 1.51 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.7%; total profit was 111.9 billion yuan. Growth of 6.09%. With the advent of the artificial intelligence era, artificial intelligence will become the 'standard' for home appliances.
Appliance industry accelerated to intelligent transformation
According to the new-generation artificial intelligence development plan issued by the State Council, by 2030, China will achieve an artificial intelligence core industry scale of more than 1 trillion yuan, bringing the scale of related industries to more than 10 trillion yuan. Among these, household appliances are connected with the daily lives of the general public. One of the most compact industries is undoubtedly a focus of the development of artificial intelligence industry.
In the coming era of 5G and AI, every consumer appliance has the opportunity to become a new traffic entrance. The ecology of the products, industries, and value chains of home appliance companies will inevitably be reconstructed in the future. Under the collective exertion of major home appliance manufacturers, The trend of technology upgrading in the home appliance industry is already very obvious. In 2018, the home appliance market will enter an accelerated period of acceleration. In this process, the cultivation of quality innovation and rational consumption will become even more important. With the advantage of scale and technology upgrade, China’s home appliance brands are expected to In this round of eruption led the world trend.
At present, not only in China, global companies are highly eager for AI technology. Experts believe that under the buoyancy of consumer upgrading and artificial intelligence technologies, China’s home appliance industry is returning to the “boom” to speed up the transition to intelligent transformation. In this process, many companies will break their original boundaries and look for more abundant external resources. Fierce competition will inevitably lead to more and better products.
However, it is worth mentioning that currently there is still a lack of unified standards in the smart home industry, and the manufacturers' brands are not compatible with the use of pain points. This makes it difficult for large-scale landing of related products. Currently, Huawei, Baidu, Tencent and other technologies are included. The giants are all trying to build an open smart interconnect ecosystem, empowering other companies with their own leading technological capabilities, and unifying product standards such as smart homes to make the industry better and faster.
