Haier Europe announces its participation at IFA 2024
Haier Europe is getting ready for the 100th edition of IFA Berlin. An important anniversary, that the Group is celebrating with an incredible exhibition space to tangibly showcase a new dimension of Smart Home, hyper-connected and integrated in customisable ecosystems. All made possible using advanced IoT and Artificial Intelligence features. The first appointment is on Friday, 5th September at 3 p.m., for the customary press conference during the opening of the event, with a welcome speech by Neil Tunstall, CEO Haier Europe.
The conference will be held in Hall 3.1, stand n. 101, an exhibition area of around 3,300 sqm that will host the latest products from Candy, Hoover and Haier brands. Main protagonist will be the space dedicated to Haier Europe’s Extended Smart Home Ecosystem, designed to highlight the customisable and connected ecosystems created by the interconnections between the Group’s solutions, the services and the accessories – also thanks to the involvement of exceptional partners.
IoT and Artificial Intelligence will play a central role in the exhibition and will allow Haier Europe’s integrated and all-encompassing digital platform, the hOn app, to come to life. It will be possible to discover how the potential of connected and interconnected household appliances is multiplied by the integration of the smart energy system – including, among others, solar photovoltaics, air conditioning, and complementary services and offers. The hOn app is the orchestral conductor of this system, the digital tool that makes it possible to manage, multiply and optimise remotely the functions of all the Group’s solutions. In this way, everyday-life scenarios and automatisms can be activated that maximise the potential of household appliances for users’ full advantage in terms of savings and environmental sustainability, but also better domestic organisation.
“We have been working for a long time on energy efficiency strategies that could have immediate and functional applications” – says Gianpiero Morbello, Head of Brand Strategy and IoT Haier Europe. “IFA is the perfect stage to present our vision of an extended, connected and interconnected ecosystem, that includes partnerships with energy suppliers and initiatives that we think can lead the international industry. Haier Europe is a pioneer in the world of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things, that with the hOn app with its millions of active users in Europe is making this revolution possible by learning from the desires and needs, creating increasingly personalised opportunities.”
Candy, after the launch of its total rebranding, will show at IFA the innovations that have led it into the new chapter of its history. A smart, accessible-high quality and Italian-style brand that offers intuitive and connected solutions to meet daily life, allowing people to dedicate more time to their passions and conviviality. Among the protagonists of the exhibition will be the new Candy Fresco 700 refrigerator, which reaches energy class A, born from the iconic genius of Italian design and updated by incorporating the latest technologies – such as Circle Fresh, which ensures consistent and uniform air circulation at every point of the refrigerator, allowing food to be stored anywhere inside it and fresh for longer; and Panorama Light, that provide exceptional interior visibility. There will be also on show the exclusive ProWash 700 washing machine, that reaches up to energy class A-40% and offers dedicated clothing-care technologies with the Soft Drum and brilliant results on any kind of garment thanks to the Proactive EcoWash technology. Furthermore, Bake 800 oven, reaching up to energy class A++, with its six different cooking levels and No Pre-Heat Function turn the oven into a daily kitchen partner. The hOn app, always at people’s fingertips, supports them in their daily routines to live their lives to the fullest, to be ready and connected.
