Smart appliances will be classified according to "IQ" market or reshuffle

The "General Principles of Intelligent Technology for Smart Household Appliances" (hereinafter abbreviated as "General Principles") will be implemented starting from July 1. Smart home appliance products will be graded in accordance with the standards in the "General Regulations." People in the industry believe that after the smart home appliance rating system is implemented, consumers can be greatly facilitated. At the same time, the smart home appliance market will reshuffle.

1, smart appliances without standards, consumers buy hard

Today, TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators, and other products featuring "smart" signs can be found everywhere in major home appliances stores. However, what kind of product is considered a smart product? Many consumers are confused.

“What kind of products are considered smart appliances, and how intelligent they are, consumers can only listen to the introduction of businesses.” Yang Yang, the citizen, said that in March of this year he purchased a smart TV. At the time, the merchant stated that the TV had an Android operating system installed. Only one mobile phone with Android system can be used to wirelessly operate the TV. However, he found that mobile phones and televisions often cannot be connected.

Zhou Cong, a home appliance dealer, said that although many manufacturers are currently introducing the concept of "smart appliances," they are often limited by their own technical level, and some so-called smart home appliances have a very limited degree of intelligence.

In addition, because there was no industry standard for smart home appliances before, whether the business exaggerated product performance was difficult for consumers to distinguish.

2, after the implementation of the national standard, consumers can buy "level"

In December 2011, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China (AQSIQ) and the National Standardization Administration issued the "General Rules" and will implement it on July 1, 2012. The status quo of smart appliances without a national standard will end.

""General" according to the level of application of household appliances intelligent technology, product classification, consumers can be based on this assessment of smart appliances in the end how 'smart'." Zhou Cong said, "General" after the implementation, the relevant departments will be based on the intelligence of home appliances Features, smart technologies, and smart structures are tested in three areas. Smart appliances have a minimum of 5 levels and a maximum of 1 level. The tested products will be labeled with an intelligent rating. This move is similar to the existing energy-saving rating of home appliances, and consumption can be clearly seen when purchasing such products.

3, smart home appliances market will reshuffle

Zhou Cong said that in the future, the practice of attracting consumers by mere hype concept will not work. At present, the concept of "cloud", which is the main brand of some branded flat-panel TVs, is actually not very practical and technical, but the prices are much more expensive than regular TVs. After the implementation of the "General Rules," smart home appliances have been intelligently rated, and products with lower levels have naturally reduced their market competitiveness.

People in the industry believe that at present, there are relatively few manufacturers that have mastered the core technology of smart appliances. Before the relevant national standards are issued, some enterprises with insufficient R&D capacity can barely establish a foothold in the smart home appliance market, but in the future the market will likely be small. Occupied by powerful companies.

For consumers, after the implementation of the “General Regulations”, there will be more intelligent and more practical products to choose from, and the popularity of smart appliances will accelerate.

Glossary

Smart Appliances

Smart appliances refer to household and similar electrical appliances that use one or more smart technologies and have one or more smart features. Intelligent technologies include fuzzy control, neural network control, and expert control.

Smart appliances are generally divided into two categories: first, the use of advanced technologies and equipment in electronics, machinery, etc.; second, simulation of family experience in skilled operators to carry out fuzzy inference and fuzzy control. With the development of intelligent control technology, a variety of smart home appliances have emerged continuously, such as the combination of computer and numerical control technology, developed digital refrigerators, rice cookers with fuzzy logic thinking functions.
