This year, 7 media houses awarded CASETiFY the “Best of IFA” title. Reviewed, the consumer tech site from USA Today, has commented “Already known for making some of the toughest, most protective phone cases on the market, Casetify unveiled what promises to be its most extreme yet: the Ultra Bounce Case”.

Global tech media Make Use Of (MUO) had the following : stylish yet hard-wearing, Casetify knows how to keep your phone safe, giving you peace of mind that your new handset isn’t going to meet an untimely demise”.

Yanko Design added” Manufacturers naturally design their phones to be beautiful and durable, but let’s face it, not all designs suit everyone’s tastes and not all phones survive the smallest accidents.

Midea’s PortaSplit Receives Prestigious Award at IFA, Showcasing Innovation and User-Centric Approach

Leave a comment

BERLIN, Sept. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Midea, a leading brand in smart home appliances, has once again demonstrated its commitment to innovation and user satisfaction by winning the 2023 Global Product Technical Innovation Award at the renowned IFA event — a prestigious industry exhibition that takes place from 1-5 September 2023 in Berlin, Germany.

Midea’s groundbreaking product, the PortaSplit, won the Room Comfort Technology Innovation Gold Award, solidifying its position as a leader in innovative air-conditioning solutions. This product exemplifies the company’s goal to address user needs through insightful engineering and design.

This accolade, a clear testament to Midea’s dedication to excellence, was presented by IDG, Europe Digital Group and Asia Digital Group, and highlights Midea’s ongoing pursuit of new technologies and improvements in user-centric solutions.

The Global Product Technical Innovation Award is a hallmark in the consumer electronics industry, representing the pinnacle of technical achievement and innovation, celebrating brands that are at the forefront of technical advancements. This annual event serves as a global stage for consumer electronics brands to showcase their breakthroughs.

Award-Winning Smart AC Redefines Cooling Efficiency and Flexibility

The spotlight falls on Midea’s PortaSplit, a smart air conditioner that combines cutting-edge cooling technology with unprecedented flexibility. This innovative home appliance is set to make its market debut in 2024 and Midea is proud to unveil the product at IFA 2023.

Unlike conventional AC units, the Midea PortaSplit seamlessly merges the portability of a portable AC with the superior cooling capacity and efficiency of a split AC. This unique fusion delivers powerful and tranquil cooling comfort, defying the limitations of existing cooling solutions.

Notably, Midea’s PortaSplit is a direct response to the needs of modern consumers. It has been a longstanding challenge in balancing cooling efficiency, energy conservation, flexibility, and ease of installation. “With a permanent split air conditioner, an installer is necessary. However, there are often long waiting times of up to four months due to high demand. If you don’t inquire early enough, you’ll miss out on having it installed for the summer. Cost is another concern, as installation alone can be around 2000 euro not including the price of the air conditioner. The Midea PortaSplit offers a more affordable option,” said Manuel Seethaler, Head of Public Relationship and Strategy at Midea RAC Germany Research Center in Stuttgart.

“Moreover, it is especially convenient for those who aren’t permitted to have a permanent air conditioning system. The best part is that it can be easily installed and removed without the need for drilling or tools. This means that customers can take it with them when they move to another rental,” Manuel added.

The PortaSplit introduces two key innovations. It’s the first plug-and-play split AC without the need for fixed installation. Another remarkable feature of the PortaSplit is its outstanding cooling performance. It is a portable AC that has the same efficiency as a conventional split AC, with a strong cooling capacity of 3.5 kW and a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER) of 6.1, surpassing all other portable ACs in the market.

In fact, the PortaSplit significantly outperforms a conventional portable AC in terms of cooling capacity and energy efficiency. According to StiWa test conditions, the PortaSplit performed four times better in cooling capacity and had three times higher energy efficiency compared to a conventional portable AC. 

Furthermore, the PortaSplit’s heat exchange system enables whole-room cooling without venting air out, maintaining constant air pressure and improving cooling performance. improving cooling performance and maintaining constant air pressure. PortaSplit is able to cool a room down in simply 15 minutes. Based on typical weather patterns in Germany, the estimated running cost is only €26 per month for the complete cooling season.

Energy saving is another crucial aspect of the design of PortaSplit. Midea’s improved AI algorithms provide up to 15% additional energy savings. It ensures a continuous and efficient cooling experience by adjusting performance according to the changing environmental conditions and enhanced predictive models.

Additionally, the PortaSplit includes the Air Magic+ technology, which purifies the air by emitting negative ions and reducing the spread of bacteria and viruses. This added layer of protection underscores Midea’s commitment to user well-being and health.

Lastly, PortaSplit was engineered with advanced soundproofing technology, allowing the air conditioner to operate at a mere 39dB in silent mode. This ensures restful sleep while maintaining optimal comfort.

Midea’s PortaSplit is a game-changer in the world of smart home appliances. Its innovative design, portability, and energy-efficient features, and wining the Global Product Technical Innovation Award, have made it a true testament to Midea’s dedication to innovation and improved user experience.

Requiring patience, this precise moment marked the culmination of the shoot.

Filmmaker JustKay presents his unique perspective on rising against the odds and confronting the unknown. His compelling short film “Take a Leap of Faith” vividly captures the turning point of his life when he chose not to attend college, bravely abandoning the conventional path to pursue his dream wholeheartedly. Echoing the theme of “RISE,” filmmaker Alice Greenfield beautifully intertwines her love for swimming with her narrative. She conveys the solace she finds in the ocean – a rejuvenating space that clears her mind and empowers her to rise and face each day with renewed vigor.

ViewSonic ColorPro aims to inspire and encourage artistic growth worldwide. Through offering a platform for creators to share their unique visions, ColorPro provides a space for artistic expression to flourish.

Crowdworks recognized again in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Artificial Intelligence, 2023 and Hype Cycle for Data Science and Machine Learning, 2023

Leave a comment

The Company was recognized among 9 of the Sample Vendors for Data Labeling and Annotation in the 2023 report

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Crowdworks (CEO Minwoo Park), a leading provider of AI learning data platform, today announced its recognition as a Sample Vendor in the 2023 Gartner Hype Cycle for Data Science and Machine Learning, 2023[1] and Hype Cycle for Artificial Intelligence, 2023,[2] marking its second consecutive year on the list. Crowdworks is listed as a sample vendor along with other notable global Data-Centric AI companies.

Gartner states that: “Gartner’s Hype Cycle depicts a common pattern that occurs when an innovation emerges. An innovation often progresses through a period of overenthusiasm, to a period of disillusionment, to an eventual understanding of the innovation’s relevance and role in a market or domain.”[3].

“The need for better training data has increased to remove the bottleneck in developing AI solutions — especially those particular to generative AI and industry use cases, [4] ” Gartner stated in this year’s report. For generative AI, data is even more critical, and Gartner continued: “Given the typical lack of internal skills and systems, DL&A services and tools are often the best option (by cost, quality and availability) to provide necessary data for best AI results.” [4]

Crowdworks has been at the forefront of driving technological innovation in the AI field by introducing a crowdsourcing approach to data labeling, involving a large community of people in collecting and annotating AI training data. More recently, Crowdworks has expanded its services to include customized AI all-in-one solutions, simplifying the adoption of generative AI for companies.
