JD Smart Home announces its entry into the real estate market
JD.com will open up the smart home ecology and capabilities that has cultivated for many years to help customers realize spatial intelligence, service intelligence and operational intelligence.
Recently, at the 2021 JD Cloud Summit Pan-home Cloud Forum, JD.com IoT released its IoT pan-home cloud platform for three new products for the device connection layer, interoperability, and home improvement supply chain: Xiaojingyu device connection service, home Control OS, Jingdong smart home supply chain services.
Xu Zhongfei, head of pan-home cloud solutions in the IoT product department of JD.com, believes that the smart home platform is the carrier of various technological capabilities and scenario solutions, and leading real estate developers have deployed intelligent platforms one after another. There are two different path options, one is self-built platform, and the other is embracing technology partners to build a platform together.
For real estate developers, if they want to build their own platforms, they need to face technical barriers and costly two major difficulties. Currently, the types and quantity of IoT devices are rapidly increasing. The complexity of device access, platform stability, ease of use, and security are still no small cross-border tests for real estate companies. At the same time, the initial investment and later operation of the platform require high costs. If there is no large-scale connection increase, it will easily become a "cost trap" that grows year by year.
After seeing the intelligent demand of the pan-home industry, JD.com will deeply cultivate the smart home ecology and capability opening for many years to help customers realize spatial intelligence, service intelligence and operational intelligence.
At present, there are more than 4,000 smart home product categories connected to the Jingdong Xiaojingyu platform, more than 1,000 brands have cooperated, and the number of connected devices on the platform has 220 million units, serving 30 million households.
Through close observation and learning of the real estate industry, JD IoT has sorted out the needs of various application scenarios in the entire pan-home industry surrounding real estate, and comprehensively integrated the platform capabilities (including technical advantages, ecological advantages, supply chain capabilities, etc.) accumulated over the years open and create an IoT platform that can effectively meet the needs of real estate developers, consumers, hardware vendors, and integrators.
At the meeting, Xu Zhongfei introduced the three latest releases of JD.com's IoT pan-home cloud platform for device connection layer, interoperability, and home improvement supply chain: Xiaojingyu device connection service; home central control OS; JD smart home supply chain service.
Zhou Jiong, vice president of JD.com, the head of the IoT product department, believes that the digitalization of the industry needs to build a win-win situation in order to achieve the multiplier effect of "Industry X Technology". Jingdong Technology IoT is pursuing the goal of "creating an Internet of Things platform that understands real estate best", and is on the way to broadly recruit ecological partners in various sub-sectors and form an intelligent community.
