The path we are showing here is part


of a broader and diversified strategy that includes numerous activities related to energy management, the well-being of people and the planet.” Thanks to the IoT Wall, where animated


graphics came to life, the entire connected ecosystem is clearly shown with particular emphasis on the advantages in terms of efficiency, sustainability, product durability, personalised experiences, and excellent results for the consumer. The protagonists are, of course, all the elements on which Haier Europe works with a leader vision: connected appliances; accessories that enhance performance and durability; complementary offers and partnerships with leading companies; up to the integration of the Smart Solar Energy System. Everything is controlled by the hOn app, which, using Artificial Intelligence, not only allows the remote management of products and services but also offers advices, usage statistics, maximises the performance of connected appliances, and enables a detailed customisation of the ecosystem by learning from each user’s habits – also through compatibility with the most important home automation tools. Furthermore, a virtual avatar proactively guides and interacts with visitors in discovering the Group’s Smart Home vision, answering their questions, and illustrating the commitment to improving consumers’ daily lives through complete and innovative solutions, reducing environmental impact, and offering unprecedented comfort. The IFA exhibition showcased a home that


is as virtual as it is real, where Haier Europe’s technologies come alive, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in everyday scenarios enhanced by tailor-made smart solutions.


Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, the hOn ecosystem, the integration of intelligent solar energy management, and features developed with partners in various European countries, it is possible to manage different scenarios – from shopping and reordering services to food preservation and automatic cooking; from washing and starting programmes at the most convenient times; to monitoring consumption, proper maintenance management, and remote support if needed. All this demonstrates how it is now possible to meet all particular needs while simultaneously reducing consumption, cutting waste, and thus reducing environmental impact. This represents the hOn One Smart


Home realised in Brugherio (Milan, Italy): the fully connected apartment that combines technology and innovation to offer the Smart Living experience envisioned by Haier Europe. In this showroom, it will also be possible to understand a new vision of well-being, care, and hospitality that anticipates the consumer’s desires, learning from their habits and preferences. For example, it is possible to synchronise the washing machine and dryer for maximum care of garments; manage the refrigerator inventory and restart in case of a power outage; set the ventilation parameters based on the people present and the activities taking place at home, while the hOn app can also monitor sleep and environmental conditions to ensure the best comfort. The exhibition area also develops into themed zones dedicated to the Group’s main brands – Candy, Hoover, and Haier – where the


presence of hOn stations allows an in-depth exploration of how Haier Europe’s application can amplify the user experience of each product by offering additional features, services, and content that make the user experience extraordinary and maximise energy-saving possibilities.


Among the concrete examples of connected


ecosystems are those dedicated to the world of wine, care and maintenance of the home and connected products. The wine coolers of the Group’s brands ensure excellent conservation results and long-term efficiency thanks to the combination of technological innovation and interaction with the hOn app. It is possible to obtain the best conservation of bottles and, through the dedicated widget on the platform, remotely monitor the appliance and maintenance needs; create your virtual wine cellar; manage and expand your collection by purchasing desired references and the most suitable care products; as well as consult the latest news and dedicated content. The experience is further completed and amplified by wine tasting and conservation accessories. In recent years, Haier Europe’s innovation


journey has extended the network of connected ecosystems beyond consumers’ homes to include the surrounding environment. The Group is focusing on projects that optimise the management of daily activities through integrated and complete smart service platforms, to improve home energy efficiency and promote greater well-being by enhancing the intelligent management of the connected home.
