In the TCL Air Conditioning Smart Health Science and Technology Museum, the media group learned in detail about the global production capacity layout of TCL air conditioners, nine international leading technologies and a full range of products. During the visit, the media group focused on the "strongest fresh air conditioner in history" TCL Little Blue Wing C7 fresh air conditioner. Equipped with three smart health technologies: AI sleep, AI voice, and AI power saving, TCL Xiaolanyi C7 fresh air conditioner brings users an immersive smart and healthy air experience. At present, with the blessing of Xiaolanyi AI technology, TCL air conditioner has now improved the three large and small blue-wing smart health product matrices of "intelligent fresh air, intelligent voice, and intelligent power saving" to meet the diverse healthy air needs of users.
The media group walked into the TCL air conditioning intelligent manufacturing production line and experienced the world-class intelligent manufacturing strength up close. Since 2018, TCL Air Conditioner has continued to invest in automation and artificial intelligence technology, with a cumulative investment of more than 500 million, achieving a 100% improvement in production efficiency, and its intelligent manufacturing capabilities are among the industry's leading levels.
31 industrial robot clusters, including the compressor on-line robot "Optimus Prime", the robot precision detection robot "Roaring Sky Dog", the product packaging robot "Golden Bell Jar", and the finished product off-line robot "Megatron", are working in a coordinated and orderly manner, showing the closed loop of intelligent manufacturing from parts to finished products, and producing an air conditioner every 8 seconds on average!
Subsequently, the media group came to TCL Commercial Air Conditioning Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park. In the comfort laboratory, the outdoor side can simulate extreme test scenarios such as rain and snow. At the site, the heating operation is carried out in the -15 °C snowfall environment, in low temperature and bad rain and snow weather, TCL air conditioner can not only ensure stable operation, but also output the heating effect well, and the average temperature of the space can reach more than 28 °C.
Xiao Yanyu, a member of the Party Committee of Nantou Town, Zhongshan City, pointed out at the event that Nantou is an important manufacturing town in Zhongshan, with an area of 25.74 square kilometers supporting the achievements of a town with an industrial output value of 100 billion yuan. In 2024, the total output value of household appliances in Nantou Town will reach 56 billion yuan, and the export of household appliances will reach 43.8 billion yuan. As a leading enterprise of tens of billions of yuan in the town, TCL air conditioner hopes that TCL air conditioner can stand on a new level, move forward fearlessly without fear of wind and waves, and inject stronger momentum into the high-quality development of the town and the city.
Chen Shaolin, senior vice president of TCL Industry and general manager of the air conditioning division, shared with the leaders and media groups on the current situation, business planning, and future strategy of the company. He pointed out that TCL air conditioner has established 11 production bases around the world, with an annual production capacity of more than 38 million sets, and its products cover more than 160 countries and regions. In 2024, the production and sales of TCL air conditioners will exceed 20 million sets.
Referring to the secrets of the high-quality development of the enterprise, Chen Shaolin made an in-depth analysis of the "enterprise winning strategy model" of TCL air conditioning. Under the business principle of "New Track, New Battlefield, Catching Up and Surpassing", TCL Air Conditioning has established four core businesses of "Household Air Conditioning Business, Commercial Air Conditioning Business, Special Air Conditioning Business, and Upstream Extension Business", and continues to build a sustainable source of growth for the enterprise.
TCL Air Conditioner takes smart health as the brand positioning and value proposition to create value for consumers. From the three major challenges faced by the air conditioning industry, AI technology plus fresh air technology is combined with air conditioning to define a new generation of air conditioning.
The first major challenge facing the development of the air-conditioning industry is that the existing air conditioner does not solve the problem of indoor air quality, and fresh air is the most direct and effective way to achieve indoor and outdoor ventilation, and it is the best solution to solve the problem of indoor air quality.
The air conditioning industry is facing the second major challenge, and energy saving is the eternal theme of air conditioning. Air conditioning is a large energy consumer, which is a great challenge to global warming, and now the energy efficiency standard of air conditioning is calculated at a fixed number of points, and most of the actual operating conditions are not energy-saving. As the inventor of AI power-saving air conditioner, TCL Air Conditioner has launched AI Power-Saving 2.0 technology to achieve super-level energy efficiency and an energy-saving rate of up to 40%.
The third major challenge and opportunity facing the development of the air conditioning industry is that the combination of AI technology and air conditioning can greatly broaden the use scenarios of air conditioning and solve the unmet needs of users.
In terms of AI voice, TCL air conditioner self-developed Fuxi voice model, equipped with DeepSeek, to create an AI voice system that supports 1 million instruction recognition, loosely control Mandarin, Cantonese, Sichuan and English and other language recognition, which can well liberate consumers' hands to use air conditioning and achieve good interaction.
At the same time, the AI sleep technology of TCL Xiaolanyi C7 fresh air conditioner is equipped with the industry's first millimeter-wave radar perception technology, which can automatically adjust the sleep temperature curve according to the user's sleep situation and extend the user's deep sleep time by 25%.
