The smart home industry is witnessing a rapidly expanding ecosystem, but it also faces complex technical challenges, particularly in the development of sensors that can accurately perceive the external environment. Despite advancements, achieving precise and reliable data capture remains a challenge. The SENSOR CHINA exhibition, Asia’s largest professional event dedicated to the Internet of Things, will take place in Shanghai from September 12 to 14, 2016. This event is expected to highlight the growing interest in smart home technologies, drawing participation from major industry players.
Smart home technology has evolved over the past two decades, transitioning from simple remote control systems (smart home 1.0) to more advanced mobile-controlled systems (smart home 2.0), and now into the era of interconnected, IoT-based automation. As a result, the market has expanded significantly. According to Juniper Research, by 2018, the global smart home market is projected to reach $71 billion, with China's market reaching 139.6 billion yuan, accounting for 32% of the global total. This indicates a strong and promising future for smart home solutions.
As a crucial component of the IoT system, smart homes rely heavily on advanced sensor technology for data perception, transmission, and processing. SENSOR CHINA aims to showcase innovations in this area, with companies like Goer Shares focusing on smart home applications such as smart doorbells, smart locks, and smart routers. Additionally, Hangzhou Melek Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is participating, aiming to build a public platform for infrared sensing technology. Their latest product, an infrared composite gas monitor, is a national-level research project developed in collaboration with German R&D centers, offering comprehensive detection for various harmful gases.
Beyond individual products, SENSOR CHINA also supports the development of smart home ecosystems through platforms like the SHOP-Home open platform launched by the Shanghai Institute of Microtechnology and Industrial Electronics (SITRI). This platform offers one-stop solutions for smart home applications, including reference designs for sensors, processors, software algorithms, and cloud platforms. It aims to lower the barriers for product development and foster collaboration across the industry chain.
Major tech companies, both domestic and international, have been actively investing in smart home technologies. Google, Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Haier, Xiaomi, and Midea have all made significant moves in this space. For instance, Google acquired Nest and Revolo, while Apple introduced HomeKit. Haier launched its U+ smart life platform, and Xiaomi built its own ecosystem through the "Mijia" brand.
During SENSOR CHINA, events like the Smart Home Application Seminar will bring together key players to discuss how to leverage sensor technology to accelerate smart home adoption. Companies such as Honeywell, Hangzhou Melek, and others will share insights on improving user experience and achieving seamless integration between users and sensors.
In addition to the main exhibition, SENSOR CHINA features over ten concurrent sessions, covering a wide range of IoT applications, including smart manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, and environmental monitoring. These events aim to promote the integration of sensor technology with the broader IoT landscape, fostering innovation and growth across industries.
