Leading the new track of AI home appliances! Shumande won the Aipulan Award with cutting-edge technology at AWE. YU Hao witnessed the industry breakthrough on site.

On March 12, the 2026 Shanghai AWE (China Appliance & Electronics Expo) grandly opened. Smarter, the pioneer of AI intelligent sofas, stood out from more than a thousand participating brands with its strong capabilities of "2 core technologies + 6 innovative technologies" and won the iF Design Award, known as the "Oscar of the home appliance industry". It became the first brand in the AI intelligent sofa track to receive this honor. At the exhibition site, Yu Hao, the president of Dreame Technology, was even attracted to have an in - depth experience.

This award is not only an authoritative recognition of Smarter's technological innovation by the industry. Coupled with nearly 100 million yuan in financing, the endorsement of the same - style products on the Spring Festival Gala, and the preparation for the construction of the Dazhou Intelligent Industrial Base, it comprehensively demonstrates the strength of its products and the value of investment and franchising, injecting strong impetus into the AI smart home track.

Crowned with the iF Design Award, Hard - core Technology Builds Industry Barriers

As the highest honor at the AWE exhibition, the iF Design Award takes "technological innovation, market value, and user experience" as the core evaluation criteria. Smarter's winning this award is the best proof of its technological strength. In this exhibition, Smarter presented a panoramic view of 2 core technologies + 6 innovative technologies, completely breaking the functional limitations of traditional sofas and redefining the experience of intelligent sofas:

Core Technology 1: AI Adaptive Support: Relying on the multi - point sensing matrix and BMI index, it monitors the pressure state of the waist in real - time. Through AI algorithms, it dynamically adjusts the inflation volume of the airbags. The adaptive airbag and lumbar support technology jointly developed with the world's top automotive climate and comfort system suppliers achieve "understanding as soon as you sit down and precise fitting", making the ergonomic design perfectly adapt to different body shapes and postures.

Core Technology 2: Physical Adaptive Support: Relying on the floating spring support system, it breaks the constraints of traditional frames. When sitting down, it can evenly distribute body weight and significantly reduce the pressure on the buttocks. Users can instantly feel a sense of lightness as if floating in the clouds when sitting down, solving the pain points of numb buttocks and sore thighs after sitting on traditional sofas for a long time, and providing a new comfortable experience of "sitting deeply but getting up lightly; leaning stably but not feeling heavy".

On this basis, Smarter also brought 6 innovative technologies: iRester intelligent massage technology (10 - point massage + 5 master - level techniques), zero - gravity floating posture (to disperse body pressure), breathing ventilation system (6 temperature - sensing modes), graphene heating (95% electro - thermal conversion efficiency + far - infrared health care), voice intelligent control (full - function voice interaction), and physical adaptive floating support (to relieve pressure during long - term sitting). It builds a full - scenario technological moat from the dimensions of comfort, health, and interaction, forming a competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate.

At the exhibition site, the "007 Swan Park", the same style as that on the Spring Festival Gala, and the "Return" series of AI adaptive intelligent sofas amazed the audience. The former's zero - wall - leaning design is suitable for small - sized apartments, and its swan - neck armrests and golden - ratio backrests combine aesthetics and lumbar support. The latter stood out with its hard - core black technology, becoming the focus of the whole venue. With the world - first AI adaptive support technology, it monitors human body pressure in real - time, actively and intelligently adjusts the sofa's pressure - bearing system to meet the personalized needs of "thousands of people with thousands of faces". At the same time, it integrates the iRester intelligent massage technology, bringing an extraordinary comfortable experience.

Driven by Both Capital and Industry, the Brand's Potential Continues to Upgrade

Behind its outstanding technological performance is Smarter's solid capital reserve and all - dimensional industrial layout. Recently, Smarter successfully completed nearly 100 million yuan in financing. The funds will be mainly used for the construction of the Dazhou Intelligent Industrial Base, the research and development of the new - generation AI technology, and the deepening of the national channel layout, laying a solid financial foundation for capacity improvement and technological iteration. Currently, the Dazhou Intelligent Industrial Base is in the intensive preparation stage. The base will build an AI intelligent sofa manufacturing center integrating R & D, production, and testing. After completion, it will greatly improve the production capacity scale and quality control ability, providing efficient and stable supply - chain support for national franchisees.

At the same time, Smarter's products, the same style as those on the Spring Festival Gala, appeared on CCTV's "Spring Festival Gala Countdown", becoming the first brand in the smart home sub - track to be selected for a national - level media platform in the form of products, which is an authoritative verification of its product strength. Previously, the commercial performance of a live - streaming GMV exceeding 520,000 yuan and high conversion rate of the first store further confirmed the market's high recognition of the new category of AI intelligent sofas.

From technological R & D to industrial implementation, from brand endorsement to channel expansion, Smarter has formed a complete closed - loop of "technology - product - industry - channel", providing solid support for investment and franchise partners.

The Dividends of the Track are Prominent, and the Value of Investment and Franchising Continues to Rise

With the in - depth integration of AI technology and home scenarios, AI intelligent sofas are becoming a high - growth sub - track in the trillion - level smart home market. According to the "2026 AI Intelligent Sofa Consumption and Industry Trend Insight Report" jointly released by Smarter, the market scale of functional sofas in China has exceeded 45 billion yuan. As a new category, the penetration rate of AI intelligent sofas is rapidly increasing, and the market demand is continuously released.

For dealers, Smarter has created a full - link empowerment system from store design, scenario creation to digital marketing. Combined with the production capacity support of the Dazhou Base, it provides partners with a "low - risk, high - return" franchising model. Previously, the live - streaming investment promotion has received intention consultations from multiple provinces across the country, and the channel recognition continues to rise. For investors, Smarter, with its differentiated track selection, solid technological barriers, business characteristics of high customer unit price, high repurchase rate, and high user stickiness, as well as multiple benefits such as the iF Design Award, the endorsement of the Spring Festival Gala, and capital support, has become a high - quality investment target in the AI smart home track.

Winning the award at the AWE this time is not only a milestone in Smarter's technological strength but also an upgrade of its investment and franchising value. As the pioneer and leader in the AI intelligent sofa track, Smarter is taking hard - core technology as the core and capital and industry as the support, continuously leading the industry upgrade, creating higher value for dealers and investors, and jointly tapping into the trillion - level market dividends of AI intelligent sofas.
