The rapid growth of smart homes has brought opportunities. How can companies seize this opportunity?

A few days ago, the strategy analysis company (Strategy Analytics) released the latest research, smart home is becoming more and more popular, by 2023, the global demand for smart home devices will exceed the sales of smart phones. Global consumers purchased 663 million smart home devices in 2017, which will increase to 1.94 billion by 2023, and sales of smart phones will reach 1.86 billion by then. The research titled "2018 Global Smart Home Equipment Forecast" covers all types of smart home devices, including smart speakers, security cameras, smart bulbs, smart door locks, digital thermostats, gateways, and sensor devices. The market demand for smart home products is driven by lower device prices, eye-catching user applications and services, improved user experience, and rapid technological development.

The rapid growth of smart homes has brought opportunities. How can companies seize this opportunity?

It is predicted that the fastest-growing category in 2018 will be smart speakers, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home, with a growth rate of 109%. Other fast-growing areas include smart light bulbs (such as Philips Hue), connected smoke detectors, smart door locks (such as Amazon’s August smart Lock), gateways and hubs, and security cameras (such as Google’s Nest Cam).

Bill Ablondi, director of smart home strategy, said: "The emergence of smart home as a popular concept in recent years has brought a lot of new equipment opportunities to suppliers and technology developers." "The field of smart home equipment is still in the forming stage, and many companies Are working hard to build their own business.” The scale of future demand shows that there is a huge opportunity for suppliers who can take the lead in improving people's management and management of their own homes.

The report also proposes that successful smart home equipment suppliers should determine which obstacles they need to address to achieve growth, which bundled products and services will resonate with consumers, and which market areas they should focus their resources on.

AC Power Supplies

AC power supply is a kind of power supply that converts the input mains or DC input into a pure sine wave output after AC-DC-AC or DC-AC conversion. The ideal AC power supply is characterized by stable frequency, stable voltage, zero internal resistance and pure sine wave output voltage wave (without distortion). Mainly used for power grid simulation tests conducted by various electrical appliance manufacturers on electrical appliances according to the voltage/frequency requirements of different countries, various AC motors, AC transformers, aircraft & mechanical equipment and other electronic devices that require pure, regulated and frequency-stabilized output.

Our AC power supply mainly includes three types
1. AC Power Supplies converting the input mains AC by AC-DC-AC, output voltage and frequency are stable and adjustable with pure sine wave output waveform, so called: Variable Frequency AC Power Supplies.
2. AC Power Supplies converting the DC output of the battery and other DC equipment by DC-AC, giving an AC sinusoidal output with stable output voltage and frequency. so called: Inversion AC Power Supplies.
3. AC Power Supplies converting the input mains AC by AC-DC-AC, giving a variable voltage AC output at constant 400Hz output frequency ultra-high output frequency stability. so called: Intermediate Frequency AC Power Supplies.
4. According to the difference in the number of output phases, the AC Power Supplies can be divided into single-phase output AC power supplies and three-phase output AC power supplies.
Different from Variac and AC voltage regulators, our AC power supplies support the setting of output voltage and frequency and has superior high precision, high stability, and high efficiency stable frequency AC output, not only for AC power conversion but also for AC high precision test purpose.

Through the friendly operation panel, you can read the output data such as output voltage, output current, output power, power factor, etc., providing accurate data records for your test, and can add RS485 interfaces as standard, following the MODBUS-RTU international communication protocol, which can realize remote control and operating status monitoring of the power supplies.

Our AC Power Supplies have comprehensive protection functions, such as: over voltage, over current, over temperature and short circuit protections, which can protect the AC power supplies and DUT from damages.
