Home appliances manufacturer Beko has announced a series of new AI features across its range of Smart Home products to make them hyper-personalized and capable of meeting modern consumer needs.
The newly unveiled Smart Home technology is part of Beko's mission to use AI to encourage and lead positive change in the industry and includes pioneering enhancements across its Adaptive Technologies, Autonomous Cooking, AI-powered Energy Management and Predictive Maintenance capabilities.
"AI is revolutionizing the way we interact with our homes, making our daily routines more intuitive and efficient. At Beko, we're harnessing its power to innovate on appliances that learn, adapt, and anticipate our needs. From self-improving cooking to personalised adaptive washing and dynamic cooling algorithms, we are dedicated to transforming the home experience. [...] The advancements we're making in AI are key to our mission of delivering cutting-edge technologies that benefit our customers and respect the planet we all call home," said Hakan Bulgurlu, Beko's CEO.
Beko's newly unveiled AI-assisted product releases center around washing machines, ovens, and refrigerators, to provide a more enjoyable experience and make them more sustainable and efficient in the long run.
For example, the new personalized washing functionality learns and adapts to the user, resulting in 20% shorter cycles and improved watching performance.
Beko Smart Home ovens will be enriched with AI-assisted camera technology that recognizes food and provides cooking suggestions across more than 30 different food types. Moreover, the new Beko Autonomous Cooking technology uses AI to finish cooking according to personalized browning levels. Users will also be able to monitor food in the oven through the Beko HomeWhiz application.
Beko is also leveraging AI for Predictive Maintenance that constantly monitors appliances and can detect and alert users of possible errors in advance. The model delivers vastly improved device uptime, improved customer satisfaction, reduced service costs, and a prolonged product lifecycle. Currently available for Beko Refrigerators and to be expanded to other product categories, it alerts users to potential issues days in advance of breakdown through the Beko HomeWhiz application.
