10 Questions about Millet Purifier

After the recent introduction of the millet eco-chain products, usually a small number of media internal communication, directly with the project leader face-to-face talk about the project, but also to respond to some outside problems. For example, before the Huangwang, smart home products and so on, the air purifier launched, due to more questioning and discussion, it is more necessary.

So in the Millet air Purifier announced 2 days later, intellectual things (public number: zhidxcom) and a few professional media industry and the three Millet air purifier launched the key characters have an exchange, are: Intelligent Rice Technology director Su Jun, Millet eco-chain product director Chaillon, Millet Ecological Chain Resource development director Yu An.

How to respond to plagiarism?

First of all, a lot of people concerned about the problem, millet in two ways to respond to plagiarism said.

Zhimi Science and Technology director Su Jun is the former Beijing University of Engineering design department head, first by the Su Jun very "teaching fan" to explain the introduction of the Millet Air purifier, design and detail considerations. From why to choose the shape of the tower round angle column, to why the use of radial circular outlet and so on.

With this derivation, we finally get the best solution. Just "happens" with this product has a lot of "consensus", in addition to the Millet air purifier and the Airengine, at the same time the other three similar modelling tower style of the purifier for comparison.

This is millet response "plagiarism said" way one; the second way is to publish a public statement, to the effect of millet tried more than 100 kinds of design, and finally selected the most reasonable optimization scheme, at the same time with a picture comparison of more than 10 details of the differences, and said that "in the home appliance industry, due to aerodynamics and other physical laws of the Limited , and the long-term accumulation of the manufacturing industry optimization design, and other factors, many categories have a relatively mature appearance and structure design concept. ”

So this is still a matter of saying that the public has the right to say that the woman is reasonable. In fact, it is not difficult to understand, from the point of view of several people in charge, is that they have only chosen a tower structure of the scheme, in detail with other products there are many differences, and through forensic investigation that does not infringe on the general audience, the first sight is not to see these details, Only from the first glimpse of the appearance of similar, at the same time that there is a chronological, the latter is naturally considered to imitate plagiarism suspicion.

Second, what is the millet mode to do purifier?

Although in the millet system, Su Jun is a newcomer, but to see the millet model has been very understanding, he to do the purification of millet model said a few words summed up, that the so-called Millet original business model is:

The design to do the best, as far as possible cut off the intermediate link to the BOM cost to consumers, with large OEM manufacturers to improve production capacity to improve shipments to single products. Use this price to kill the industry profiteering. Can be summed up in this: single, low price, extreme, a large number.

Perhaps for millet this is a quick cut into a new field of knife chopping axe, but the original players in this industry is indeed very painful. So it is not difficult to understand why every time millet introduced a category of products controversy will rise.

Third, the big male also how to join Millet?

There is no direct answer to this question, but there are some details to be seen from Chaillon's words:

"In the search for supply chain, know the Big Ben also, the other side recognized the value of millet, that the purifier should not be profiteering, high above, so soon joined the millet team." ”

Here is the disclosure of a detail is that the original design director of the Chong is also in the search for supply chain when contact and add millet, so the male also in the millet purifier for the supply chain should be helpful. The current team of Millet purifier is 19 people.

Four, why choose the round angle Tower column shape?

Su Jun lists a number of design considerations, such as rounded posts that are more suitable for family placement, more in harmony with home environments, and rounded corners, which are widely used in high-tech production. From the design prototypes shown by Su Jun, we did make a lot of choices, but now I do not have the right plan.

Five, before the option to consider the issue of infringement?

Millet Eco-chain product director Chaillon answered the question, saying that 2 weeks before the plan was finalized, the company's legal department had been investigated to see if the design was an infringement and that the survey had no problem.

Six, how to respond to the temple of the word Xuan?

In fact, I interviewed in the last six months, the founder of/CEO is also its main product designer Temple Tail Xuan, asked the question of plagiarism, because at that time there is similar to the appearance of products, the other side of the answer is "can copy the appearance, but not to copy performance." After the introduction of the Millet Air purifier, the temple-Hyun issued a statement that saw two of the shape of the product "very confused", said, "I hope that the peer imitation is the spirit of product innovation, not the product itself." ”

Temple Tail · The two words are very interesting, millet Chaillon response is "We are also very confused ..." Of course, the reason is based on the above.

What are the differences between the millet purifier and the airengine?

From the introduction of Su Jun, in the same as "Tower fillet column" on the basis of the plan, millet did a lot of detail optimization. Like what:

1 double bond switch wifi.

2 indicator light distance from the ground 5cm can be blocked by the edge of the bed, LED light sensor adjustment.

3 Use sharp 1051 PM2.5 transmitter module, and with 200 purpose screen occlusion.

4 Use a voltage stabilizer to fit the global voltage standard.

5 Environmental protection design, no spraying technology adopted.

6 Filter life through the boot time, PM2.5 room inside and outside the value of the weighted judgment and so on.

Did the millet and the Bermuda have any cooperation?

In front of a media friend reported, Millet's answer is, in the search for solutions and partners are, talk about 30 of potential partners.

Nine, Millet purifier who foundry, how much capacity?

Foundry manufacturer Millet This side thinks inconvenient announcement, current capacity also did not elaborate, but mentioned, their target is June 2015, shipments can exceed 1 million units.

Ten, what kind of company is Chi-mi?

On this issue, a bit of speculation, the technology of smart rice positioning is a focus on the "wind" of the company, behind the interpretation of a lot of.

Chaillon explained that people's demand for wind is "from beginning to end". This sentence has a little meaning, but let me think of the interview at that time Temple is the other side of the word, I asked Bamuda why mainly engaged in electric fans, purifiers, humidifier such small household electrical appliances products? Temple Tail Xuan's answer is "no matter when the human to the warm and cold perception's demand is invariable." ”

That's it.
