As temperatures are expected to drop below 10 degrees Celsius in October, the home appliance industry is unveiling a range of heating products. These new offerings feature the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), to provide personalized heating solutions.
 
According to the heating industry on September 27, companies like Gyeongdong Boiler and Gyeongdong Navien have recently launched new products, including heated mats and water heaters.
 
Gyeongdong Boiler introduced the '3rd Generation Carbon Mat AI Ondol,' which automatically adjusts heating based on individual sleep temperatures and habits using AI.
 
The AI mode assesses optimal temperature, usage time, and whether the user has left the bed, creating a customized heating environment. The 'AI Sleep Control System' analyzes users' sleep patterns based on their preferred temperature and usage time while they sleep.
 
The 'AI Smart Temperature System' detects whether the user has left the mat and automatically switches to energy-saving mode to reduce unnecessary heating when the user is not present.
 
Tests on the accuracy of the AI mode's optimal sleep temperature, sleep time calculation, and user detection were completed by the Korea Testing Certification (KTC).
 
A Gyeongdong Boiler representative stated, "The 2027 model of the Gyeongdong 3rd Generation Carbon Mat AI Ondol is a smart sleep appliance that provides personalized heating based on self-assessment. We will continue to evolve the carbon mat by integrating our 60 years of heating technology with AI-based intelligent sleep control technology, allowing customers to experience a more comfortable and pleasant sleep environment."
 
Gyeongdong Navien has also recently launched new products, including the 'Sleep Mat Water Heater' and 'Sleep Mat Carbon,' featuring Australian wool insulation.
 
The core function of the sleep mat, the 'AI Sleep Mode,' analyzes the user's sleep stages based on detected breathing sounds via a smartphone and automatically adjusts the mat's temperature accordingly.
 
For instance, during the REM sleep stage, when temperature sensitivity increases, the mat helps maintain a comfortable sleep environment by lowering the temperature.
