Recently, the General Office of the Ministry of Commerce issued the Notice on Organizing and Carrying out the "Home Renewal Consumption Season" activities, which clearly stated that the "Home Renewal Consumption Season" activities will be organized nationwide from September to December this year. With the accelerated recovery of the domestic market, coupled with favorable policies, the home consumption market has entered the "Golden Nine Silver Ten" sales season. For the sales trend of this season's market, both merchants and users have reached a consensus - it must be a "smart home" with "focusing on life safety and health, ecological resources and energy saving" as the core. Unlike the vast majority of peers who immerse themselves in the development of "smart products", the century-old multinational giant A.O. Smith has been fully engaged in the research and development of the "comfortable smart home" system several years ago, focusing on the top-level design of the indoor environment, and took the lead in launching the intelligent IoT hybrid link solution that shocked the industry - AI-LiNK during the epidemic! With the new enterprise development strategy focusing on "good wind and good water", A.O. Smith has established an industry ecology that is easier to integrate and develop, and has been praised by users, markets and partners!
Deeply cultivate the local market and lead the industry with innovation
A.O. Smith has been deeply engaged in the Chinese market for 25 years, and its market share of core category sales ranks first among domestic peers. According to the data of Oviyun in 2022, in the high-end home appliance market, A.O. Smith's gas water heater market share is 26.7%, the water purifier market share has reached 37.4%, and the market share of electric water heater market is as high as 40.4%! It can be called a veritable leading brand of hot water purification in the Chinese market.
After 25 years of rapid growth, A.O. Smith China now has nearly 500 excellent R&D personnel, and is constantly conducting R&D and innovation in 3 major domestic production and research bases and 5 CNAS certified R&D laboratories. Up to now, the company has successfully applied for 456 patented technologies, laying the most solid practical foundation for realizing a smart home environment with "good wind, good water and healthier". The most noteworthy is the self-developed AI-LiNK industry-wide solution, which revolutionizes the intelligent interconnection of products, systems and services, and creates a comfortable home environment of "health, safety and energy saving" for the majority of Chinese consumers.
Wisdom "Five Heng" sends clean, healthy and good wind
The three-year epidemic has made the vast majority of families have a deeper understanding of air quality, especially the indoor circulation environment, which has also become the primary problem that must be solved in a comfortable home environment. To this end, A.O. Smith innovatively included the "heavy pollution source" of household air - "kitchen" into the control scope of "healthy and good wind", and proposed the concept of "five constant (constant temperature, constant humidity, constant oxygen, constant clean, constant quiet) integrated system" for the first time. Through the AI-LiNK high-end intelligent interconnection platform, the fresh air conditioner can be interconnected and cooperatively operated with the "Ron" range hood that focuses on "clean zero escape"; Relying on the large exhaust air volume of the latter, the indoor ventilation efficiency can be greatly improved.
Not only that, with the operation software in the fresh air system, it can monitor the main environmental indicators such as carbon dioxide, PM2.5, temperature, humidity and other major environmental indicators in the room in real time and accurately, and send the data to the AI-LiNK intelligent IoT platform in time, so as to efficiently manage and adjust it.
In a more comfortable and quieter environment, every family member will say goodbye to the stuffiness caused by unclean air, and the whole house air will always be clean and fresh.
Water softening artifact blessed bath beauty water
When it comes to household water, the first thing that comes to mind is drinking water, but they tend to ignore the larger amount of bath water. Commonly used tap water (also known as "hard water") contains a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions, which will react with soap bases in facial cleansers, shampoos and other cleaning products, thereby destroying the skin barrier, affecting the regeneration of sebum membrane, and producing various skin problems such as dryness and sensitivity.
In this regard, A.O. Smith has previously launched a soft water beauty gas water heater, equipped with soft water salt, which can remove 99% of calcium and magnesium ions in water, help regenerate the sebum membrane, rebuild the natural barrier, further improve the skin's "immunity", and effectively improve sensitive skin. Today, this "bath beauty artifact" has also been included in the AI-LiNK high-end intelligent interconnection system, and users can control it in an all-round way through the AI Home Intelligence Control mobile app: not only can the water temperature be adjusted, the soft water period can be freely set, and it can be opened with one click anytime, anywhere; Moreover, it can monitor the online status of soft water in real time, and once the soft water salt is consumed, it will actively remind and accurately change the salt, thereby reducing the cost of use.
With the collaboration of AI-LiNK's high-end intelligent interconnection system, it is no longer difficult to take care of the skin health of family members every day.
All-star cast Join forces to create a "feng shui" kitchen
As an indispensable "health town" for every Chinese family, the kitchen, in addition to providing food nutrition for the whole family for the day, is also a unique space for emotional communication among many family members. However, traditional home kitchens are not only oily, but also noisy when used. But A.O. Smith's ingenious idea has swept away all these troubles: through the two new products of the spinning jieba dishwasher and the built-in steam oven, together with the "Lu" range hood and the hot and cold ready-to-drink water purifier under the cabinet, with the blessing of the AI-LiNK intelligent interconnection platform, a clean, healthy and safe "feng shui" kitchen has been built.
The range hood adopts a distributed silent structure to ensure low noise during the cooking process. The patented top side double suction smoke removal system challenges the "zero escape" of oil smoke, and there is also a double grease net filter system, the fan does not stick to oil, and the suction power is more durable. Due to the access to the AI-LiNK high-end intelligent interconnection system, it can also intelligently link gas water heaters and dual gas alarms to monitor harmful gases in the kitchen in real time, and quickly start the sound and light alarm when the concentration exceeds the standard, actively remove the danger of carbon monoxide, and protect the safety of the whole family.
The hot and cold ready-to-drink water purifier under the cabinet is a combination of purification and heating, just one key to tap the faucet, you can arbitrarily choose 98 °C, 90 °C, 80 °C and room temperature four temperature water purification. It's very convenient to use as you go! It is equipped with a high-precision reverse osmosis filtration system, which can effectively filter out harmful substances such as viruses, heavy metals, antibiotics and other harmful substances in the water, and the patented reverse osmosis filter element has a life of up to 3 years, which guarantees the drinking water safety of family members for a long time. After accessing the AI-LiNK high-end intelligent interconnection system, users can grasp the status of the water purifier at any time in the AI Home Intelligent Control App, and set one-key heating and heat preservation; You can also check the purification effect of the water purifier in real time, TDS water quality digital display, filter element status prompt at a glance, so that drinking water safety has a "number" in mind.
And the most noteworthy of the "feng shui" kitchen is A.O. Smith's latest spin dishwasher. After 7 years of hard research and development, A.O. Smith pioneered the "spin" cleaning mode for it, specially tailored for the Chinese deep bowl, and the upper and lower three large thrust spray arms rotate at the same time, the appliance can also rotate, truly realizing 360-degree cleaning without dead angles. Not only that, through the linkage between AI-LiNK and the water purifier under the cabinet, large-flow reverse osmosis water purification is directly through the dishwasher, no need to manually add salt, and the purified water does not contain heavy metals such as calcium and magnesium ions, as well as harmful substances such as viruses and bacteria, ensuring the health and safety of tableware after washing, while effectively avoiding scale residue. The hot air drying + alternating drying method of internal and external air flow makes the cleaned utensils dry more thoroughly, and the bacteriostatic rate reaches 99.99%, and can last up to 72 hours. At the same time, this dishwasher also provides 6 modes such as energy-saving washing, crystal bright washing, fast washing, ultra-clean washing, daily washing, and intelligent washing, which fully meet all the needs of cleaning tableware. Smart washing can also detect the degree of contamination of tableware, and then automatically select the appropriate cleaning mode.
With such a strong product lineup and the "escort" of AI-LiNK's high-end intelligent interconnection system, I believe that the innovative "feng shui" kitchen will soon become a "trend star" sought after by the market.
Strategic Foresight Life GPT is on the horizon
In the eyes of peers, A.O. Smith's strategic layout is quite forward-looking, and its production and research philosophy is by no means "greedy for more". Since switching the track to become the leader of "smart comfortable home" two years ago, every single product of A.O. Smith is a crystallization of wisdom born around the company's core technology, based on good products, good systems and good services, and then AI-LiNK realizes the customized solution of full connection and full control: from pre-sales design, in-sale construction to after-sales active butler service, it has realized online, full-process, one-stop service, so that users can rest assured and rest assured. In this regard, Qiu Bu, senior vice president of A.O. Smith Group and president of China Company, said that on the basis of its own hard power, A.O. Smith has always maintained an open and inclusive attitude, worked with powerful partners such as Huawei to develop and co-create, and jointly built a national spatial intelligence open laboratory - control system integration, easy interaction with intelligent ecology.
"Love yourself well, love your family well, and give meaning and value to your limited life with unlimited love." Qiu Bu insisted, "An excellent enterprise is not only the pursuit of profit and scale, but also unites a group of capable people to work together to solve problems for the industry and solve problems for mankind, and the Life GPT built by AI-LiNK may be more meaningful." ”
