How traditional manufacturers can achieve a 35% premium through smart control panels

Client Background & Challenges

PT Appliances is a 40-year-old European mid-sized appliance manufacturer facing challenges such as an aging product line, intense market competition, and insufficient brand premium:

• The proliferation of "pseudo-intelligent" products - Most products' "intelligence" is limited to basic network connectivity, lacking genuine intelligent decision-making capabilities, and users still need to frequently make manual adjustments.
• Noise and efficiency are at odds - Traditional air purifiers can generate noise levels as high as 38-45dB when running at high efficiency, severely impacting the nighttime user experience.
• High maintenance costs and inconvenience - users struggle to determine when to replace the filter, either replacing it too early increases costs or replacing it too late can negatively impact health.
• Ecosystem isolation - unable to integrate into modern smart home systems, becoming an information silo.
