The industry experts said it was not an accident that Google joined hands with Haier U+ platform. The entire smart home industry develops into a critical stage of development right now. Every competitor claims its dominion in its own region segmentation of the industry chain to fight for the vantage position.

As the largest brand of the world in large household appliance industry, the full-product chain lays a solid foundation for the U+ platform to build the seven wisdom ecosphere including air, food, cleaning & caring, water, safety, entertainment and health. At the same time, the users of Haier already spread all over 100 countries after 30 years’ development; Research and Development centers, factories and channel network spread deep into all major countries and districts in the world; All become the valuable resource of Haier smart home business development.
Secondly is the open development idea of Haier U+. In the process of the decade of smart home exploration, enterprises’ “fight alone” pattern seriously restricted the industry’s development. Therefore, Haier starts the world’s first full-open, full-personalized and full-interactive wisdom life opening platform – Haier U+ platform to realize the interconnection between different categories and different brands’ smart products or service by unified wisdom protocol standard, and integrate the fragmented resource to maximum the industry development power.

All of these are the result of the user demand forced the system to open and integrate resource. The cooperation with Google is also a decision made after the full-acknowledge of user demand to the smart home. In the future, Haier will continue to adhere to the principle of user demand being to the priority and cooperate with more ambitions partners to accelerate the smart home marketization.
As Kevin Kely, the founder & editor of Wired, said, when network enrolls all kind of business, a company’s main focus should change from maximizing the value of the company itself to maximizing the network’s value. Company will perish unless it survive in the internet. Haier U+ and Google cooperate in the smart home industry is the inevitable choice to expand their own network value.
