Smart Home Industry Association Holds Seminar on the Topic of Discovery of New Markets for Smart+Interior Convergence
Presenting the direction of the 'smart home' industry to be implemented in the near future

On the way home, the house prepares to welcome its owner. The air conditioner is turned on to maintain the right temperature, and food is prepared. Upon arriving at the parking lot, I park in an empty space and get on the elevator. Without pressing the floor, the front door recognizes the owner and opens.

The 'smart home' will be realized in the near future. The Smart Home Industry Association held a seminar at the Korea Science and Technology Convention Center with the theme of 'Discovering a new market for smart + interior fusion' and presented the direction of the smart interior industry.

In the morning, ▲LH Urban Regeneration and Smart City's Smart+Interior, ▲Smart Interior O2O Platform Info Interior Competitiveness and Business Direction, ▲SH Advanced Future Technology Housing, ▲IoT Smart Interior Current Status and Outlook were presented.


Lee Ee-moon, deputy director of the Housing Facilities Division of LH Korea Land and Housing Corporation, who was in charge of the Smart+Interior presentation, said, “Interest in smart homes is increasing, but the actual technology is so low that users cannot perceive it. We are constructing Smart Home 2.0 and drawing the blueprint through tasks and carrying it out.”

The vice minister introduced the current status of smart city projects being carried out domestically and internationally. Sejong Happy City, Dongtan New Town, Pangyo Complex, and Pyeongtaek Godeok are each carrying out pilot projects with different themes (transportation, energy, leisure, etc.).

Smart+Interior 'Currently in progress'

Kim Dong-yoon, CEO of Infoterre, said, “There are many companies that do both design and construction, and the barrier to entry is low, so anyone can jump in and start a business that can be done without money. Because of these characteristics of the industry, it is difficult for customers to trust companies, and for companies to negotiate with customers.”

Infoterre is an O2O platform company that not only provides interiors but also connects related companies for customer convenience. Customers can request a quote by taking a photo to Infoterre and then, through matching between companies, complete the interior design and then take care of home IoT, security, insurance, etc. all at once.

Park Cheol-gyu, head of SH at Seoul Housing & Communities Corporation, who made a presentation on cutting-edge future technology housing, said, “Housing will evolve to become zero-energy housing, and home appliances and furniture will move toward an emotional form that provides customized functions depending on the user.”

In the afternoon, presentations were given on ▲4th Industrial Revolution and Future Smart Kitchen Food Strategy ▲Role of Smart Interior Design Furniture ▲Successful Cases of Smart Interior Construction, Indercore Ambassador Hotel and Mobile Interior Platform ‘Home Decoration’.

Do Cheol-gu, the head of the Korea Smart Home Industry Association, said, “I am happy to be able to host an event with people involved in ongoing domestic business. I hope that after hearing the vivid voices of industry professionals today, the ‘smart interior’ industry, which adds smartness to interior design, will expand.”
