Background

What are the ways out of such competitive market of similar products and low-cost competition for IBaking? Should it persist in intelligence faced with the emergence of pseudo-intelligence? The IBaking team chose to cooperate with LKKER SCM, with the expectation to break through in product differentiation and user experience.

The LKKER SCM team was entrusted by IBaking, a subsidiary of Haier, to develop a third-generation oven and redefine the target group and smart oven. Through life observation of the target group and product benchmarking analysis, LKKER SCM team gave IBAaking third generation oven strong identification and new brand reputation from the design direction definition to the mechanism research and development, and to the aesthetic design and the user experience design.

Solutions & Goal

1.LKKER SCM team has created unique identification points for IBaking so that users can remember the product at first sight. The team designed the oven in a rounded and warm shape and texture with an intimate and dynamic interactive experience that broke the product identification of the traditional square oven. It not only established a rounded identification point but also injected more interest in life for Haier Baker, creating a better baking experience.

2.The team paid attention to the smallest detail of the design to give the baker a better user experience; the LKKER SCM team proposed the concept of a frontally inward 8 degree door panel, providing the baking masters with a more comfortable window. The integration of display and operation handle, the fast ring thumbwheel design, the concealed water tank, the sunken upper and lower heating tubes, every detail of Haier Baker is carefully considered to allow a perfect combination of function and experience.

3.The first to propose modular oven camera. LKKER SCM has designed a modular pluggable camera assembly for the back of the IBaking oven. The position of the camera has been selected by hundreds of lighting simulations, only to allow the user to better broadcast every detail of his/her baking.

Achievements

 The LKKER SCM team successfully delivered the third generation of ovens for IBaking, making IBaking a leader in product innovation and user experience innovation in the field of smart ovens.

During the 2016 Shanghai International Bakery Exhibition and CES Asia, IBaking released its third generation of ovens, which immediately became a hit; As the core carrier of baking 3.0, the IBaking oven brings a new design experience to the household and marks the first step of IBaking baking ecosystem.

At the 2018 LKKER SCM·LKKER Imagination Conference in Beijing, the third generation of IBaking ovens once again caught the eyes of the participants and earned good reputation.

Air Purifier From America For China Market 

Honeywell Air Touch Air Purifier Product Development Background

As a century-old interconnected industrial company in the United States, Honeywell is also committed to the civilian-oriented use of advanced technology. Honeywell is very concerned about the changes in air quality in China. Starting from 2014, Honeywell has joined forces with LKK Design to develop a high-quality air purifier that meets the needs of Chinese users. As a result, Air Touch series of air purifiers were born to help more Chinese users deal with smog and air pollution.
For Honeywell, it was the first time that a key project of the headquarters was to be jointly developed with an external design team. For us, in order to deliver an excellent purifier product, we had to take into account the comfort and convenience in the user experience while ensuring enhanced core purification performance.

Honeywell Air Touch Air Purifier Product Development From Design To Manufacturing By LKKER SCM 

To facilitate the replacement of the filter element by the users, we changed the opening structure into the shape of folding drawer during the design of the air purifier which allows replacement of filter with a single push.
The APP developed for the product is more in line with the user’s usage. We have added the purchase option to the APP so that users can simply open the filter drawer and scan the QR code on the body which will direct the user to suitable filter for purchase.
In addition to this feature, the APP also features real-time monitoring of home air quality, travel advice, and air quality information recording.

Honeywell Air Purifier Outstands In A Competitive Local Market And Becomes The Best Seller

In such competitive air purifiers market, we accurately located the brand market positioning and target users of Honeywell air purifiers through market research, user research and big data analysis.  Based on the research findings, we carried out product definition, functional design and development, user experience design and highlighted the product differentiation strategy from the product hardware and software experience. The product turned out to be a best seller among the similar products.
In the product brand level, we cleverly leveraged the brand influence of Honeywell to endorse the trust of this user-oriented product and delivered excellent brand products and services with a favorable product experience and a century-old brand effect.

BACKGROUND

With a large population base and high birth rate especially due to the policy of allowing a second child in China, a function-rich bottle care product can avoid the waste of a large number of feeding bottles and save social and natural resources. Meanwhile, this Smart Bottle Cleaner can also safeguard the health of infants.

Product Info

Based on the peripheral products of the feeding bottle, this product provides high-cleanliness cleaning, sterilization and heat preservation functions for feeding bottles and infant tableware. It adopts HAMIGUA’s patented “super cleaning wave” that cleans with only water and without adding any chemical cleaning agent, achieves food-grade cleanliness, and kills almost 100% of the common pathogens in infants such as Escherichia coli and pertussis.  Besides, it is set to keep the liquid milk or clean water at a constant temperature of about 40°C, which increases the convenience of preparing milk at night.

Solutions & Goal

1.Had to meet the deadline of the crowdfunding of customers (urgent delivery time, only 65 days from die sinking to batch delivery). LKKER SCM worked closely with suppliers to actively mobilize the enthusiasm of all participants to make the production process operate rigorously and quickly. Before putting into production, LKKER SCM fully reviewed the project risks, make assessments and improvements in advance so as to eliminate problems in production and ensure smooth production. 

2.Despite of the high material price, LKKER SCM still pursued ultra-high standard product quality, which resulted in an actual production cost higher than expectations. LKKER SCM then improved its process design, reasonably chose cost-effective factories, optimized cost in the process design and selected optimized material structure while ensuring material safety to ensure that the product costs meet expectations. The cost of each finished product is 100 yuan less than expected.

Achievements

2016 was meant to be an extraordinary year for Beijing HAMIGUA Tech Co., Ltd.  By the time the JD Equity Crowdfunding closed, 55°+HAMIGUA Smart Bottle Cleaner has raised funds of more than RMB 3 million, 16.6 times more than the original plan. With the vigorous support of more than 10,000 fans, it has successfully created a new record for JD Equity Crowdfunding in maternal and child industry. In addition to the high attention with high traffic, various topics and activities regarding “HAMIGUA” have been creating quite a buzz among netizens.
