AI + Sensory Actuation Technology – Smart Kitchen

When home appliance operations become simple and intelligent, cooking turns into a pleasure. Based on the piezoelectric effect, a light knock opens the refrigerator door, and a gentle touch starts the range hood – every interaction is natural and smooth. A coffee machine equipped with a liquidlevel sensor precisely detects water levels and dispenses water automatically on demand. Together, these technologies create a smarter, more userfriendly, and calmer smart kitchen space.

Knock Switch
Based on the piezoelectric effect, the knock switch converts the force of a light knock on the sensing surface into a piezoelectric signal. Through circuit conversion combined with hardware and software filtering, it detects valid knock signals and precisely triggers the appliance's switching commands. Sensitivity, knock patterns, and number of knocks can be customized according to user needs. Suitable for refrigerators, dishwashers, etc.
