Only through cooperation can the smart home cake be expanded

The world is so amazing that you never know it. We can live well without smart home, but when smart home opens a door to a convenient and wonderful technological life, are you willing to stop? Of course, if I have enough money in my pocket, I will definitely open this door.

From the perspective of home appliance companies, product intelligence is a hard indicator. Currently, the hot-selling smart TVs and smart air conditioners in the market are essential items for future smart homes and are also the basis for building smart homes. The author learned from the market that many home appliance products in major home appliance stores are already labeled as smart. TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners all have smart functions.

However, at this stage, it is still in the primary stage of intelligence, and the smart concepts proposed by various home appliance brands are different. It is difficult for consumers to distinguish which one is better or worse. The only feeling is "good-looking but not useful". According to this trend, in the era of intelligence, our mobile phones are too busy. One smart phone needs an APP to control it, which is not very realistic. Manufacturers each draw their own cakes, so how can consumers digest it? At present, smart homes are also facing such problems. There is no unified standard, no unified platform, multiple APPs, and multiple control systems. How can it be described in one word? Faced with such a messy market, consumers may avoid it and miss the "Stone Age" very much.

Therefore, I believe that at present, home appliance companies need to develop intelligence with innovative thinking, especially strengthen cooperation and integration among enterprises. In the future, leaders are needed to achieve integration after intelligence. Who will take on this role? Or non-home appliance companies, aren't powerful rivals such as Apple (645.57, -1.78, -0.27%) and Google (556.33, 2.43, 0.44%) eyeing it?

For example, the cooperation between Apple and Haier is a good example. Whether it is developing from hardware to software, or integrating all enterprises from the perspective of building a platform, positive and reverse thinking permeates the entire smart home industry. The market is chaotic, but the only thing that is not chaotic is that smart home appliances will be an important part of the future smart home. Only cooperation between enterprises can make the cake bigger and allow home appliance companies to occupy a place in the new field. Home appliance manufacturers should not miss it.
