On March 11, 2026, at a critical turning point in the global home appliance industry from hardware competition to ecological collaboration, Fotile Group successfully held the 2026 Global Smart Kitchen Ecological Conference. The conference brought together elites from the fields of home appliances, technology, artificial intelligence, real estate, and design. The future roadmap and ecological win-win program for the smart kitchen industry proposed by Fotile have received high attention and recognition across industries.

At the meeting, Fotile System explained its new strategic connotation as a "global smart kitchen expert and leader", released the first "Global Smart Kitchen Innovation and Development White Paper", and established the Smart Kitchen Capability Level (L1-L5) classification. At the same time, FOTILE collaborates with over 30 ecological partners to build an open ecosystem and promote the entire industry towards a new stage of collaborative evolution and value co creation.

Paradigm shift: upgrading industries from hardware parameters to ecological value

Currently, the kitchen appliance industry is undergoing a profound paradigm shift. Simple performance parameter stacking or remote control of equipment can no longer meet users' deep expectations for the kitchen as the "emotional center of the family" and the "source of healthy living". The kitchen space is accelerating its evolution from a functional backstage to an emotional resonance field for families and a source of personal health. The market calls for a complete solution that can connect cooking processes, manage food health, optimize space interaction, and provide emotional value.

The core of industry competition has shifted from a single product to the ability to build an ecosystem across devices, services, and scenarios, "said Sun Liming, Vice President of Fotile Group, in his keynote speech at the conference." The essence of a smart kitchen is a systematic reconstruction of the relationship between 'people, food, space, and environment' using technology. "Based on 30 years of deep experience in Chinese kitchens, Fotile will be the first to complete its strategic upgrade to a 'smart kitchen expert' in 2025. The holding of this ecological conference is a declaration of its commitment to leading the industry towards a new stage of value through open ecology.

Core definition: A "six in one" panoramic solution that integrates Eastern wisdom

Faced with the wave of industry change, based on thirty years of profound insight into Chinese kitchens, FOTILE has given its own answer: a smart kitchen is not a single point of intelligent stacking, but a people-oriented systematic solution.

Smart kitchen is centered on meeting the diverse dietary and health needs of Chinese families, integrating the Eastern humanistic concepts of benevolence, timeliness, and balance. Through deep integration of kitchen ecological big data, the Internet of Things, and new generation artificial intelligence technologies, the ultimate goal is to achieve an AI fully managed kitchen. It constructs a six in one full scenario kitchen solution that integrates "food management, preservation and storage, washing, cutting, and leaching, smoke exhaust cooking, cleaning and storage, and ecological services", reshaping the five values of "safety, reliability, efficiency, convenience, healthy and delicious food, comfort and joy, green and low-carbon", and helping billions of families achieve a new paradigm of sustainable and happy kitchen life that harmoniously integrates people, home, and nature.

Technical Base: Building embodied intelligence with deep collaboration of "eye brain hand"

Everyone knows how to eat and taste. The FOTILE Taste Model is deeply rooted in the wisdom of Eastern cuisine. Based on billions of kitchen vertical data and millions of knowledge graphs of ingredients, recipes, cooking, etc., it transforms the Eastern culture of "timely balance" into accurate health insights. From physical fitness analysis to dietary planning, from ingredient management to healthy cooking, from equipment collaboration to environmental perception, knowing taste is like a personal butler who understands nutrition and cooking, actively providing more suitable solution support, making complex cooking simple and reliable, nourishing the most delicious life of every household.

The FOTILE ACS assisted cooking system, on the other hand, is based on the core architecture of "eye brain hand" deep collaboration, driving the kitchen from single point intelligence to system level intelligence. The "eye" achieves precise perception through infrared thermal imaging, high-precision vision, and weight sensing; Integrating the self-developed "Taste aware Big Model" and DeepSeek with the "Brain" to achieve full chain decision-making for diet; The 'hand' utilizes a robotic arm and AI seasoning box to collaborate and complete complex cooking operations, forming a closed loop of 'perception decision execution'.

Based on this system capability, Fotile officially released the world's first robot kitchen at the Ecological Conference. It is equipped with the industry's first "growth oriented" intelligent kitchen utensil system, consisting of a heterogeneous robot matrix: high-precision robotic arms are responsible for cup positioning, water collection, and even fine dishwasher utensil placement; The humanoid robot completes complex cooking operations such as pouring oil, stir frying, and serving vegetables. From cooking to cleaning, the entire process is unmanned, opening up infinite possibilities for human-machine co creation of kitchen and living life, and laying the foundation for connecting the broader external world.

Ability grading: Establish a measurable and verifiable evaluation system for smart kitchens

In order to transform the blueprint of smart kitchens into measurable and actionable industry consensus, at this conference, Fotile released the first "Global Smart Kitchen Innovation and Development White Paper" and established the Smart Kitchen Capability Level (L1-L5) classification. This classification establishes a measurable and verifiable evaluation system for "wisdom" for the first time, clarifying five development levels from basic tools to global ecology, providing consumers with a basis for selection and setting a development roadmap for the industry.

This level divides the evolution of smart kitchens into five clear stages: from human led operation of L1 single point hosting, achieving intelligent closed-loop of single point function with a single kitchen appliance, to human assisted operation of L2 segmented hosting, achieving intelligent closed-loop of task flow with a single kitchen appliance; Furthermore, it has risen to L3 with conditional full custody, achieving full custody of one dish's cooking under limited ingredients and cooking modes; Further up to L4 height, fully managed with low limit ingredients and cooking modes to achieve full scene management of a meal; Finally, we arrived at L5 with full custody, enabling the system to achieve autonomous learning and continuous evolution through unlimited selection of ingredients and cooking modes. Each level has clear technical and experiential indicators in five dimensions: safety and reliability, efficiency and convenience, health and deliciousness, comfort and pleasure, and green and low-carbon.

The release of this grading system aims to answer three fundamental questions: what is true intelligence? What value do different levels of intelligence create for users? How can the industry continue to evolve along a clear path? "Said Yu Guitao, Dean of Fangtai Group's Intelligent Kitchen Appliances Research Institute. This system is like a clear ruler, not only providing consumers with a basis for wise choices, but also providing a practical development framework for industry technological innovation.

Ecological Co creation: Gathering Top Forces, Opening up Infinite Scenarios of "Smart Kitchen+"

The solitary traveler moves fast, the crowd moves far away. At the conference, Fotile showcased its strong appeal as an ecological "empowerment platform" - numerous strategic partners appeared collectively, and together with multiple interdisciplinary experts, presented a future vision from single product intelligence to "person kitchen home community" panoramic services.

In the field of health management, Fangtai and Yuyue Medical jointly create a "health detection dietary intervention" chronic disease full cycle management system; Connect the data link of "exercise consumption dietary intake" with Huawei Sports Health; Collaborating with Cloud Diagnosis Technology to create the Fotile Smart Original Fresh Refrigerator AI Health Butler, upgrading the kitchen from a "storage space" to a new generation of home health management center.

In the field of spatial collaboration, FOTILE has deeply collaborated with multiple leading real estate partners to integrate smart kitchens into high-end residences, making smart kitchens a definitive experience of "high-end living aesthetics". In the field of human-computer interaction, collaborate with Rokid to explore "unbounded interaction" and bring interaction back to human intuition. FOTILE is still actively laying out in the "human car home" ecosystem, making the life experience seamlessly connected.

These ecological synergies expand the value boundary of Fangtai Smart Kitchen from the equipment itself to a broader service network such as health management, residential services, and human-computer interaction, making the kitchen truly a smart hub connecting the home and the external world.
