Value Creation of Products and Services in Utilization of IoT

Recently, IoT is a big issue in the electronic appliance industry. It is an internet-based technology that connects various things including electronic appliances with sensors and communication functions. When IoT is applied to home electronic appliances, companies can collect and analyze customers’ product use data through their products, develop customized solutions for individual customers, and respond to various customer needs accordingly.

In 2015, Coway released IoCare, a new product that adopts IoT to water purifier and air cleaner product groups. The IoT customized care services and solutions also have been established based on analysis results.
