Ink Air Fruit: Wanda Vanke New Guest

Ink weather this year released air fruit became the pioneer of intelligent hardware. Red uncle in a number of media evaluation article saw the "Beautiful Design", "art as Elegant", "Apple-style products" and other evaluations, but also many times to see "Air detection is not a strong demand for users", "can only measure the air does not change the use of" evaluation. Ink weather is how to look at the future of air fruit, Uncle Red field visit Beijing's ink weather headquarters.

When will the air fruit be on sale?

Software vendors encounter some unpredictable problems in the early stages, ink and Shenzhen factory for several months to solve these problems. At present, the first batch of ink fruit will be officially on sale at the beginning of September, the first batch of 1000 units, the second 5000 units, then mass production.

What's the layout of the air fruit recently?

Business-to-business: Ink weather is now with Wanda, Vanke, MoMA real estate and other contacts, the future air will become China's two largest commercial real estate business "green home" concept of an important link, while the air will also be the first practice of O2O activities, the future will be to the country's major indoor space to provide air quality testing services.

Wanda, in order to allow users to intuitively feel the air quality, opened November 26 this year, Tongzhou Wanda Plaza Studios (Wanda A-class demonstration zone) will be the first time the air fruit into each of the Internet synchronization, the details of the two sides are still in negotiations. But red Uncle think the future consumers can at the ticket office or even the ink client Wanda convenient view of each film Hall air quality situation, before the appearance of chest tightness shortness of breath air bad phenomenon will not appear (air bad consumers can decide not to buy tickets). Uncle Red can even conclude that the ticket can be purchased directly through the ink client, which is a cross-border cooperation in the O2O field.

Vanke, in the recent introduction of Vanke's high-end residential sample room, the air will become Vanke fresh air conditioning system quality witnesses, users can visually view the air quality inside the house. Vanke thinks the air fruit conforms to the concept of "green home" in the future, and solves the problem that it is difficult to quantify the quality of fresh air system before.

The future development strategy of air fruit

Ink has been noticed inside the outside "air detection is not a strong demand for users", "can only measure the air does not change the use of" evaluation. At present, with Gree, the United States two air-conditioning manufacturers to reach a strategic cooperation intention, by the Ink Weather API interface access to air-conditioning, once the indoor air over the standard can automatically open air-conditioning for change wind adjustment. The implementation of ink weather app--air-air conditioning three-party linkage automation intelligent home.

This cooperation in the red Uncle seems to be a winning cooperation, ink Vice President Kangkuan that this cooperation can effectively solve the air fruit Now "measurement results can not affect the results" situation, the real realization of intelligent home concept. On the other hand, air conditioning manufacturers fancy ink app up to 270 million of the number of users, combined with the user behind will be intuitive to see the air-conditioning brand and model, this is a huge brand exposure platform. So the air-conditioning manufacturers themselves are willing to work with the air fruit to launch products.

See this many people will ask why the air-conditioning manufacturers themselves do not make an air fruit?

Red Uncle's understanding is that, first, air-conditioning manufacturers belong to heavy assets, system problems let air-conditioning manufacturers do not come out like air fruit such exquisite internet products. Second, home appliance enterprises have slowly realized the impact of Internet thinking on traditional enterprises, so also want to contact with the Internet manufacturers to adapt to the new environment.

Based on this background, ink and air conditioning manufacturers to work together smoothly, has been beginning two months. According to the current progress of the first batch of products will be released in December this year, the future of the United States Gree air conditioning models will support the control of Air link, the first time next year's New year when users can use.

The future core of ink: accurate regional weather forecasts

Ink based on weather, the use of meteorological data for the country's 270 million users to provide services, the future ink weather hope to provide accurate regional weather forecast to make users more convenient. Kangkuan tells us that the ink is currently being recruited for weather data specialists who can provide accurate weather indices to the street level in the coming year. For example, you work in Zhongguancun and you know it's going to rain tonight, but I don't know, ink weather can tell you whether it rains 6:15 or 6:45, so you have plenty of time to plan for the next step.

Kangkuan revealed that the simple forecast behind the meteorological data, topographic maps, different regional input data model according to the current meteorological cloud map weight ratio after the results, once successful will become another core competitiveness of ink weather, continue to consolidate the market position of ink weather and user stickiness.

Red Uncle said:

Ink weather to choose a other manufacturers did not do the field of indoor air inspection made hardware, in other homes have not yet products out of the case to improve, and actively explore the new field of O2O has achieved very good results. Wanda, Vanke, Gree, the United States and the cooperation of the ink to provide a brand endorsement. Sitting on 270 million users, ink in the weather information services for the temporary invincible hand.

Today's ink weather is valued as high as $ hundreds of millions of trillion, has completed the B + round of financing, with the end of the new round of smart hardware outbreak, the future ink weather valuation has a further boost.
