Fashion is a sign of the progress of this era. As a new tool to change lifestyle, smart fingerprint lock is constantly leading the fashion of quality smart home life and space. So, what is the prospect of the smart lock industry? Let’s take a look!
What is the prospect of smart lock industry?
In recent years, with the hot concept of smart home, the smart lock industry has also staged a "Three Kingdoms Kill". Not only traditional mechanical lock enterprises have transformed into smart locks; Moreover, giants such as Haier, Dahua, Haikang, ZTE, Midea and 360 have also entered the smart lock industry; In addition, in recent years, emerging brands of Internet smart locks, such as Yunding, Guojia and Yunyou, have emerged …
But behind the fiery, there are still many hidden worries. For example, homogenization is becoming more and more serious; Products and services are mixed, which affects user confidence; The industry has just started, and many companies have started price wars, and so on. These problems are worth pondering by every practitioner.
At present, many smart lock enterprises have some problems in product production, such as unreasonable mold design, insufficient precision of accessories technology, substandard surface treatment technology, long production delivery time and high unqualified rate. There are still many kinds of installation accessories in the aspect of installation and after-sales; The door has a large thickness span and is troublesome to install; Professional installers are hard to find; The installation quality is unqualified, and there are many complaints.
If we make a summary, that is, the stability, quality and installation service of current and future products are still the threshold that smart lock brands must cross together. Therefore, how to solve these two threshold problems will also become the key point for smart lock enterprises to win in the future.
Today, with the popularization of smart home, smart lock industry has become an indispensable part of people’s home selection, because smart home has formed a complete closed loop with various household appliances in today’s society, a complete system that brings convenience to people’s lives!
The development of smart lock has been divided into several steps, because of its different functionality, it also provides a more humane choice for people with different needs!
The first is the fingerprint password lock, which is a series of intelligent locks with basic functions. The combination of password and fingerprint has revolutionized the unlocking method of mechanical locks! It greatly improves the convenience and safety of people’s daily life and is deeply loved by people of all ages!
First of all, users are most concerned about the safety and stability of products. When users buy smart locks, the first consideration is the safety of the products, such as whether the networked smart locks will be attacked by hackers, whether the copied fingerprints can open the smart locks, whether the passwords will be stolen, etc. Secondly, the stability of the product, such as whether the fingerprint identification will fail, how about the power consumption of the smart lock, what if there is no electricity, what if the mechanical key can’t open the door …
As a mechatronic smart lock, if it is used in security doors, it is completely used outdoors. Therefore, smart locks have to withstand the tests brought by factors such as temperature difference and humidity in different seasons; At the same time, China has a large regional span, and the different climatic conditions in the north and south also require very high stability of smart locks. Therefore, the quality of smart locks will be one of the key points for enterprises to win the future market.
Secondly, installation and service are crucial. As mentioned above, at present, many enterprises only focus on occupying the market and neglect the construction of service system, which finally directly affects users’ confidence in the smart lock industry. Because the standard of entrance door is not uniform, and the dimensions of lock body and keyhole are also very different, the requirements for more installation are very high. Therefore, without enough experience in large-scale production, sales and service, you will find that this industry is full of "pits", and the biggest pit is installation service.
Finally, there is another key point that has to be said: brand power. At present, many users have the desire to buy smart locks, but they don’t know what brand of smart locks to buy. Because no brand in the smart lock industry dares to say that its market share accounts for more than 10%, there is no strong brand in the smart lock industry. There is no strong brand, which means that it is difficult for users to buy smart locks with famous brands. Therefore, the creation of smart lock brand will be one of the key points to win the future market.
To sum up, it is not only the sales volume and market share that determine who can win in this industry in the future, but also the most important thing is how to practice internal strength, that is, how to do a good job in quality and service; At the same time, the soft power of brand image should also be improved.
