This March, the China Appliance and Consumer Electronics Expo (AWE) was held in Shanghai, with the theme “AI and Smart Living,” showcasing a feast of high-end new products and technological iterations in the smart appliance industry. Over 50 domestic and international digital appliance giants, including Haier, Gree, Aux, SONY, and Samsung, participated in the exhibition. Each exhibitor showcased their products’ AI capabilities, from smart voice recognition and high-definition screen interaction to IoT whole-home connectivity, demonstrating the beautiful life empowered by smart IoT technology.
As a leading domestic chip company, Allwinner Technology has developed several dedicated AI chips for smart home appliances, which are now widely used in Haier’s smart voice washing machines, Aux’s third-generation smart voice air conditioners, and Yunmi’s internet-connected smart voice range hoods, among many other smart appliance products.
High Recognition Rate in Noisy Environments
Due to the significantly higher noise levels at the exhibition compared to typical usage scenarios for home appliances, most smart voice products limited their voice recognition interfaces to avoid external demonstrations. However, the voice module of Haier’s smart voice washing machine, based on Allwinner’s AI solution, continued to function normally and exhibited good recognition performance even in high-noise environments.
Allwinner’s AI solution employs a multi-level voice recognition model adaptive scheduling technology, which can overcome vibrations and noise in different scenarios, achieving a high recognition rate of 91% at a distance of 5 meters.

Low False Wake Rate + Fast Voice Recognition
At this year’s exhibition, Aux launched a new air conditioner equipped with Allwinner’s AI solution, featuring smart voice control capabilities that allow direct operation via voice commands—no internet connection required, with a rich set of voice commands, a control distance exceeding 15 meters, fast recognition speed, and high recognition rate, significantly enhancing the convenience of air conditioner operation.
Allwinner’s AI solution enables far-field voice interaction based on over 100 local command words, with an ultra-low false wake rate and a rapid voice recognition response time of 400ms. The embedded adaptive beamforming technology allows for precise recognition across a full 0 to 180-degree range, with comprehensive IoT cloud control and OTA online upgrade capabilities.

High Recognition Rate in Strong Wind Noise Environments
The Yunmi internet-connected smart voice range hood features intelligent voice control, allowing users to control the switch and suction adjustment without using their hands while cooking, making the entire cooking process effortless.
This range hood utilizes Allwinner’s AI solution, applying scene-based multi-level voice recognition model adaptive scheduling technology, which significantly improves recognition efficiency in strong wind noise environments while reducing the false wake rate in quiet environments, achieving a recognition rate of 95% at a distance of 3 meters in strong wind noise conditions. Additionally, the range hood can serve as a local voice gateway, easily connecting to all Yunmi home appliances.

Allwinner Technology Will Continue to Deepen Its Efforts in the Smart Home Appliance Industry
In the fields of smart voice, screen display touch control, and vision, Allwinner is fully promoting the intelligence of home appliances:
The Allwinner R series AI platform features flexible versatility, rich computing power, and high integration. It has established deep collaborations with multiple voice algorithm companies to provide integrated hardware and software solutions for offline/online smart voice applications and general modules. To meet the needs of smart voice home appliance products, Allwinner has built a comprehensive corpus recording and voice testing environment, completing the local command word reserve for thousands of home appliance products, enabling easy customization of smart voice home appliance products. The Allwinner AI solution is now fully applied in washing machines, air conditioners, range hoods, bladeless fans, lighting fixtures, and more.
In terms of screen display and visual solutions for home appliances, Allwinner, as an early industry leader in video codec technology, possesses a richer technical and solution reserve, ranging from cost-effective ordinary color screen display solutions for small appliances to large-screen 4K high-definition display and playback solutions, catering to various home appliance display and touch control needs. Additionally, Allwinner provides the MiniGUI tool for free, assisting home appliance customers in creating beautiful UI interfaces. Allwinner’s home appliance display solutions have already partnered with several leading home appliance brands, with products set to be launched in the second half of the year.
Allwinner is actively building a smart home appliance ecosystem, with display module solution providers such as Shiyuan Co., Topband, and Lingdong High-Tech, and end customers including Haier, Midea, Yunmi, Aux, Fotile, Hisense, and others.
The Allwinner R series chips are industrial-grade chips designed for the smart consumer goods sector with high quality requirements, featuring high performance, high integration, and high stability. They have undergone rigorous testing and verification in terms of chip lifespan, environmental adaptability, and solution stability and reliability, meeting the dual 85 quality standard for home appliances, which requires continuous operation for 1000 hours at 85°C and 85% humidity, making them a reliable choice for home appliance companies.
