AI Empowers Life, AWE2025 Leads a New Chapter in Smart Home Development
With the continuous advancement in AI technology, smart home devices have become a part of our daily lives. From smart lighting, smart curtains to smart locks and toilets, these smart products collectively create a convenient, efficient, and comfortable living experience. At the upcoming AWE2025, the trend of smart homes will once again be in the spotlight, with innovative products like smart beds and smart mirrors vividly demonstrating the perfect fusion of technology and life.
Smart Bed: A Customed Sleep Experience
The 2024 White Paper on Sleep Health of Chinese Residents reveals that a staggering 64% of residents are troubled by sleep quality, making "getting a good night's sleep" increasingly a luxury. Among the factors impacting sleep quality, the quality of the sleep environment, particularly the comfort of the mattress, has been highlighted as one of the key influences.
Since 2014, MLILY, the home furnishing brand under the MLILY Group, has keenly recognized the vast potential of the smart bed market and entered this field. After years of persistent development and effort, MLILY has achieved significant success and become a leader in the industry.
Focusing on meeting the real needs of users, MLILY's smart bed products stand out for their excellent practicality. The brand offers a wide range of smart bed products, catering to different consumer groups with tailored designs to ensure each product precisely matches the user's actual needs. For example, for teenagers and students, MLILY has launched a smart student mattress that enables non-wearable, real-time sleep monitoring. Equipped with built-in AI sensors, it tracks sleep data such as heart rate, breathing rate, and body movement throughout the night. Using AI algorithms and big data analysis, it generates a sleep report covering data points like bed time, light sleep duration, wake-up time, REM duration, deep sleep duration, and snoring frequency, allowing both children and parents to monitor sleep health remotely and in real time.
"Consumers are not paying for a concept, they are purchasing a real experience. That's why, in addition to practicality, they also care about cost-effectiveness," emphasized Zhan Shuwen, General Manager of the MLILY brand. Unlike some smart beds on the market that cost tens of thousands of yuan, MLILY prefers to launch entry-level products to attract users by providing high-quality, cost-effective smart bed experiences.
For example, in early 2023, MLILY partnered with Three-body and launched the MLILY Zero-Pressure Smart Bed, which features 7+N smart modes catering to various needs such as snoring intervention, watching movies, reading, and pulling up assist. It can also integrate with full-home smart systems via Tmall Genie or Xiaomi Xiao Ai, allowing for voice control. Priced affordably at a few thousand yuan, the product has garnered widespread praise. According to data from Tmall Business Advisor, the MLILY Three-Body Smart Bed has consistently ranked as the top-selling smart mattress since its launch in 2023, and it was also included in Tmall's "Top 50 Innovative New Products of 2023," an award reflecting the major consumer trends of the year.
From launching its first-generation smart products to countless updates and iterations, MLILY has now been developing and manufacturing smart products for ten years. "The penetration rate of smart beds in China is still very low, as the category started relatively late. In the future, we hope that MLILY's smart beds can benefit more consumers." said Zhan Shuwen.
To achieve this goal, MLILY participates in AWE almost every year, using the platform to showcase the brand's latest technological achievements in the smart home field, especially in smart beds and zero-pressure memory foam mattresses. This not only enhances consumer awareness of the brand but also invites more industry collaborations.
Strength Mirror: A New Fitness Trend
If a comfortable mattress can improve sleep quality, then the right fitness routine is another secret to enhancing life quality and health.
According to the latest data from the China Bodybuilding Association, by the end of 2023, the number of paid fitness members in China reached 69.75 million, with active members attending fitness classes an average of 4.41 times per month. This not only reflects the enthusiasm of fitness enthusiasts but also demonstrates the thriving development of the fitness industry. Against this backdrop, AEKE Strength Mirror, a smart home fitness device combining technology and portability, launched by Qudong Future in 2023, is quickly becoming a favorite among fitness enthusiasts.
With the philosophy of "making exercise more convenient and fun," AEKE Strength Mirror leverages AI algorithms and its proprietary module to provide efficient and scientific exercise support, breaking through the constraints of time and space to create a personalized "smart gym." Its advanced AI technology accurately captures user movements through a smart recognition system, offering real-time feedback and corrections. Combined with AEKE's proprietary algorithm, it customizes personalized training plans for each user, as if they had their own AI personal trainer. Additionally, the AEKE Strength Mirror's stylish and minimalist design seamlessly integrates with various home styles. The device requires no installation, and occupies only 0.3 square meters, allowing users to work out anytime in their daily life, truly integrating fitness into their routine.
In the past six months, AEKE Strength Mirror has won several prestigious industry design awards, including the US IDA Award, Red Dot Award, and International CMF Design Award. Its sales have continued to rise, further demonstrating consumer love and trust in the brand.
When discussing the brand's goals, the company’s representative stated, "We aim to become a long-lasting health and fitness technology company. Through our products and services, we want more people to enjoy the fitness and health benefits that technology brings." Based on this, Qudong Future is continuously deepening the application of AI in fitness training, expanding product features, and strengthening integration with other smart home devices to create a comprehensive home health ecosystem.
Qudong Future also attaches great importance to communication and collaboration with industry partners. The company actively participates in top industry events, such as AWE, a leading smart home expo, to stay updated on the latest industry trends and technologies, showcase new achievements, and engage in in-depth exchanges with experts, scholars, and brand representatives to explore the future development of smart homes.
In fact, the development of smart beds and smart mirrors is just a snapshot of the leading trends in the integrated development of smart homes. With the continuous advancement of IoT, big data, and AI technologies, companies are actively developing more smart home solutions, and the interconnectivity of smart home products will become even tighter, bringing users unprecedented convenience, comfort, and health.
As a landmark event in the smart home industry, the AWE2025, set to take place on March 20, 2025, will continue to provide a comprehensive platform for exhibition, communication, and collaboration. It will work together with industry professionals to promote the continuous progress and innovation of integrated smart home development, jointly shaping a bright future for the smart home industry.
