Haier Unveils Innovative AI-Driven Smart Home Ecosystem at IFA 2026

Haier, renowned as the top brand in major home appliances for 17 years, has made a significant impression at IFA 2026 by showcasing its revolutionary AI-powered smart home ecosystem. The exhibition, themed "Home of Intelligent Possibilities," highlights how connected devices can transform everyday living, making homes more responsive and intuitive.

At the heart of Haier’s offerings is the focus on seamless integration across various home functions, including garment care, refrigeration, cooking, and entertainment. The range demonstrates how smart appliances can not only sense environmental conditions but also learn from user habits, adapting their operations for a more efficient and personalized experience.

Revolutionizing Home Appliances with AI

The versatile Haier's Vision 15 washing machine exemplifies this approach. Equipped with an internal camera and advanced sensors, it analyzes multiple factors—load size, balance, and foam levels—automatically adjusting water levels and detergent amounts to optimize washing. Similarly, Haier’s Maestro refrigerator employs the AI Food Care System 2.0, which recognizes food items and suggests ideal preservation conditions, allowing users to manage their food inventory effectively.

Cooking also benefits from AI integration. The ID Ultimate Series 6 oven features an internal camera that identifies the food placed in it, tracks cooking progress, and can even halt operations when the dish reaches perfection. In living spaces, Haier’s UltraSense AI enhances the viewing experience by automatically adjusting picture quality and sound based on content and setting changes.

The hOn app ties these functionalities together, providing users with an interface to manage their home, enhancing daily routines by connecting various smart devices into a cohesive system. Recognized by Euromonitor International as the leading smart home enterprise globally based on revenue in 2025, Haier is dedicated to advancing connected technology. With over 130 million registered users and 86.1 billion smart interactions recorded in 2025, it’s clear that Haier is reaching audiences on a massive scale.

Physical Interaction: Bringing AI to Life

Haier's innovations also extend to the physical world, showcasing humanoid robots that interact with various appliances and an advanced robotic cleaning system equipped to identify different types of dirt. Companion robots provide voice assistance and personalized support, illustrating how AI can assist in practical ways.

Additionally, the Haier Exoskeleton goes beyond traditional home appliances. By interpreting movement signals and adjusting support dynamically, it enables users to maintain their natural movement while aiding mobility. These demonstrations highlight Haier’s commitment to blending AI, robotics, and human needs for better living solutions.

Commitment to Innovation and Growth

Haier's '10+N' open innovation system propels its research, bridging global resources with local insights. So far in 2026, Haier has achieved recognition atop IPRdaily's global smart home invention patent list for the 15th consecutive year. Looking ahead, Haier intends to invest over 13 billion euros in the next five years to strengthen foundational technologies like AI, semiconductors, and IoT security that support its transformative strategies.

During this year’s expo, Haier stressed its commitment to enhancing user experiences through global partnerships in sports under the "Play with the Number Ones" initiative, showing how their brand connects innovation with excellence in diverse fields.

Visitors to IFA 2026 can explore Haier’s smart home technologies in Hall 3.1 at Stand 101, from September 4 to 8. The advancements displayed promise a future where technology simplifies and enriches the fabric of daily living, blurring the lines between appliances and human interactions.
