At the 2024 Annual Meeting of the China Development Forum, a consensus was put forward: artificial intelligence will become the standard configuration of the fourth industrial revolution, which will accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and lead the development of new industrialization. Especially in the field of smart furniture, according to the statistics of CICC Qixin International Consulting, it is expected that by 2025, the size of China's smart home market will reach 39.138 billion US dollars. For enterprises, make good use of artificial intelligence technology tools, closely integrate with the industry, and seize the opportunity of a new round of industrial revolution in the vertical field, with opportunities and challenges coexisting.
Focusing on the subdivision of ergonomic chairs, how to catch up with the help of intelligent technology in the current situation that the development has lagged behind foreign countries, Sihoo gave an excellent answer in the industry. On May 8, Sihoo held a new product launch conference and announced the first intelligent ergonomic chair T6 independently created by the brand, creatively combining intelligence and "decompression", empowering product evolution and opening the era of intelligent ergonomic chairs. According to reports, T6 integrates iChair light decompression technology, and realizes advanced experience for four major sectors: massage decompression, immersive acoustics, health management and intelligent engineering.
A leap in comfort experience Presenting an ergonomic chair that exceeds expectations and creates the future intelligently
The first principle of the ergonomic chair: that is, the range of comfort, should rise from the physical to the mental and emotional level. This concept was proposed by Bill Stumpf, the inventor of the world's first ergonomic chair, and has been used to this day, but it is a difficult proposition for the domestic ergonomic chair industry. According to the "2023-2029 Ergonomic Furniture Industry In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Report" released by PwC Consulting, the domestic ergonomic furniture industry is still in the process of transformation from the initial stage to the growth stage, and most manufacturers are still providing low-end products with serious homogeneity, low technical content and low ergonomic application.
Fortunately, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has brought more possibilities for the qualitative change of the industry.
According to Luo Huiping, chairman of Sihoo Intelligent Furniture, at the press conference, the T6 intelligent ergonomic chair has two built-in master hand massagers in the waist and shoulders, and can provide 7 modes for massage and decompression according to the pressure conditions of different parts, and the integrated design with the seat and wireless connection occupy an area 60% smaller than that of the traditional massage chair. The combination of T6 exerts the effect of 1+1>2, which can meet the needs of users for expelling physical fatigue anytime and anywhere, whether in office, study or rest.
If a single massage function is not enough to provide a deeper decompression experience, then the full-dimensional relaxation scene created by Sihoo from body to sound is really surprising. Jointly developed an immersive acoustic system with Harman Kardon, a world-class audio brand, which can be connected with mobile phones, iPads, computers and other devices with advanced and stable use of Qualcomm Bluetooth chips. Integrate Nuvoton's DSP for tuning, effectively improve the sound quality, sound field and sound resolution, and achieve multi-source stereo surrounding. Movies, games, music, the sound texture that T6 can provide in these entertainment moments is like sitting in the golden listening position of a concert hall, briefly taking away from the complicated affairs to enjoy the "massage" of the soul, and truly realizing the rise from the body to the comfort of the mind and emotion.
Insight into in-depth needs From passive to proactive, it brings infinite possibilities for protecting health
Industrial transformation is reshaping the mode of production and life, which has increased the number of sedentary scenes in work and study. According to a social survey conducted by the Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily in conjunction with the questionnaire network, long-term sedentary (56.9%) ranked first among the common unhealthy phenomena in young people's lives. As more attention has been paid to the unhealthy consequences of sitting for a long time, the public's demand and expectations for the category of ergonomic chairs are also escalating.
It can be seen from the search results under the entry of "ergonomic chair" on the shopping website that the consideration of "health" of traditional ergonomic chairs is almost solidified in the keywords that have been repeatedly emphasized, such as support, support, mechanical headrest, wide back frame, etc., although more attempts have been made in technology, but the results presented are still in the "passive" guarantee, not to mention improving users' unhealthy habits. The real-time monitoring ability and result deduction ability brought by AI's huge computing power provide a way for the ergonomic chair to move from "delaying discomfort" to "preventing discomfort".
According to reports, SihooT6 has a built-in precision human sensor at the head of the current commercial field, which can complete 11 human health tests, monitor the user's heart rate, posture, sedentary time and other indicators in real time, and provide personal health reports and sedentary reminders through AI algorithm analysis, so that users can understand the changes in physical condition at any time through T6, and be aware of those neglected unhealthy behaviors in time, so as to help improve the problem of sedentary life.
On this basis, Sihoo has developed a smart APP to cooperate, through which users can view data and analysis such as physical health reports and sitting health reports, providing more refined health management in a more convenient way, allowing users to grasp the "initiative" of health, and meet users' expectations for "sitting healthily" on the basis of the basic demand of "sitting". "We hope that in the future, the health record management system can be connected to the hospital's database, so that experts from different hospitals can directly see the data and health records, and even the chair itself is a professional Internet doctor to automatically diagnose and analyze the health of the body." Luo Huiping showed Sihoo's idea of using the product as a "life support warehouse", and also opened up the possibility of "intelligent engineering" and unlimited scenarios for the industry and the public.
Transcending technical limitations, intelligent empowerment defines the ultimate form of the seat
"The ergonomic system has always been the foundation of Sihoo, and the T6 continues to do so, and we have achieved more breakthroughs in the accumulation of technology in the past." At the press conference, Luo Huiping also focused on the outstanding engineering design of the T6: on the basis of the sixth-generation space chassis, the forward-leaning office function was strengthened, so that the seat could better match the body posture and develop a healthy sitting posture; The upgraded Floating Wing Lumbar Support 2.0 can be electrically adjusted through the Sihoo Smart APP or the armrest touch screen, improving the degree of cooperation and convenience, and the innovative 3-layer mesh cloud rim air seat cushion achieves both breathability, comfort and durability to achieve a better sitting feeling. From manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing, the T6 is the culmination of Sihoo's technological achievements, responding to the current needs of users and is more committed to meeting their imagination for the future.
In the past, not only chairs, but also the application of ergonomics in furniture often focused on alleviating and alleviating physical discomfort, while Sihoo's thinking on intelligent empowerment presented by T6 is a further step forward in traditional technology, from physical health to mental health, to meet users' expectations for quality of life on top of basic functions in a more humanized way, from 1.0 to waist health, 2.0 to focus on whole body health, 3.0 to focus on comfort and health, Up to now, it has officially entered 4.0 to focus on intelligent health, open a new round of intelligent revolution in the industry, and then strive for more voice in the international industry.
From the origin of ergonomic chairs in Europe and the United States in the early 19th century, to the rise of the domestic ergonomic chair field in the 20th century, although there has always been a gap between domestic ergonomic chairs in manufacturing and technical level and the world, but the advent of the world's first intelligent ergonomic chair T6 has broken the public's perception of this category, as Luo Huiping said: "Starting from T6, we will be infinitely close, Sihoo's definition of the ultimate form of the seat", and the domestic ergonomic chair industry will also be based on this, In more diverse life scenarios, more detailed physical needs, and higher-dimensional mental health, we have completed a leap in intelligence.
