Over the past century, home appliances have evolved to reduce the burden of household chores and add convenience to our lives. The accelerated development of these appliances is marked by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology that analyzes usage environments and executes optimal functions to significantly alleviate inconveniences associated with household tasks.
Samsung Electronics is at the forefront of this revolution, updating its home appliances every year. With software at the core, these products are transforming from bulky machines into advanced electronic devices perfect for everyday living.
AI Home Appliances: Your Daily Assistants
Samsung home appliances are evolving beyond mere tools into intelligent companions. Powered by AI, they seamlessly integrate into your daily life, making tasks easier and more personalized.
Take the Bespoke AI Family Hub™1, for example. Its AI Vision Inside feature uses an internal camera to recognize food items on the shelves, creating a personalized food list and alerting you to expiration dates. The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo™ goes a step further by offering tailored washing and drying cycles based on your specific needs.
SmartThings, Samsung's IoT platform, connects these appliances and other devices, creating a cohesive ecosystem that adapts to your lifestyle. The screens on Samsung's AI home appliances provide a central hub for controlling and managing your smart home devices, offering a seamless and intuitive user experience.
AI-Powered Updates and Enhanced Security for Samsung Home Appliances
Samsung's commitment to innovation is evident in its ongoing software updates for home appliances. Through Smart Forward, the company has delivered over 50 major feature updates this year, ensuring that devices remain cutting-edge and user-friendly.
One notable enhancement is the expansion of Quick Share to older Family Hub refrigerators. This feature allows users to seamlessly connect their smartphones to the refrigerator's large screen, accessing photos, videos, web pages, and even creating personalized wallpapers.
Samsung's voice assistant, Bixby, has also received significant upgrades. Now, users can interact with their AI-powered appliances using natural language commands. For instance, you can ask your robot vacuum to clean the house and set a timer for the washing machine in a single sentence.
Security is paramount in today's connected home. Samsung Knox provides a robust security framework that protects your devices and data. With recent updates, Knox Matrix now allows the Bespoke 4-Door Refrigerator to monitor the security status of other connected appliances, ensuring a more secure and reliable home environment.
Accessibility for All: Samsung's Home Appliances Get Smarter
Samsung is making its home appliances more accessible to everyone through innovative software improvements.
At IFA 2024, the company introduced Voice ID3, a feature that recognizes individual voices and offers personalized solutions tailored to each family member's unique schedules, interests, and health needs.
Starting this month, Samsung's Accessibility Sync allows users to seamlessly transfer their preferred accessibility settings from their smartphones to their home appliances during initial setup. In the future, this feature will integrate with Voice ID, enabling even more personalized accessibility experiences.
AI and software are revolutionizing home appliances. Samsung's AI technology can predict and troubleshoot issues with SmartThings-connected appliances, providing solutions directly to users' smartphones. Remote diagnostics of software errors and system settings further enhance appliance quality and longevity.
