Six major products of Midea Building Technologies ranked on the the German Red Dot Award and iF Design Award list

The German Red Dot Award, iF Design Award, American IDEA Award, and Japanese G-Mark Award are collectively known as the world's four major design awards. The Red Dot Award is based on the concept of "design that promotes harmony between the environment and human beings". The selection criteria are extremely harsh. The selection will be carried out in strict accordance with the criteria of "qualification through screening and display". It is recognized as an international symbol of creativity and design. Winning the award means that the appearance and texture of products have obtained the most authoritative quality assurance". "iF Award" is famous for its "independent, rigorous and reliable" award concept, aiming to enhance the public's awareness of design, has become an internationally recognized symbol of outstanding design, and has become an indicator of design concerns in the global economic system.

In 2023, the German Red Dot Award and iF Design Award officially announced the winning works, six major products of Midea Building Technologies stood out and ranked on the list. This award is not only another affirmation of MBT product design quality and digital ecology but also another leap in the field of digital intelligent architecture.

ChillerDoctor Gateway

2023 German Red Dot Design Award

2023 German iF Design Award

ChillerDoctor gateway is the hardware part of ChillerDoctor intelligent chiller solution, and its simple and fast installation and convenient use make it the best companion for water chillers. 

ChillerDoctor Intelligent Chiller Solution is based on a new generation of edge computing platform independently developed by the MBT, relying on the ChillerDoctor gateway carried by the MBT Chiller, which will continuously analyze the healthy operation status of the chiller, provide customers with efficient and intelligent after-sales operation and maintenance services for the chiller through the self-developed surge self-learning algorithm. The anti-surge boundary of the centrifugal chiller is accurately calculated to ensure the stable operation of the chiller in a wider operation range; meanwhile, in the operation and maintenance scenario without network, the operation status of the chiller can be monitored in real time through the gateway background software, so as to efficiently enable the offline operation and maintenance scenario.

In addition, the ChillerDoctor gateway analyzes chiller data in real time to quickly diagnose and repair simple faults. At the same time, it can accurately locate the cause of the failure after the failure occurs, and reduce the maintenance time from maintenance personnel, thereby reducing the maintenance cost and the downtime of equipment.

360 ° Annular Air Outlet Cassette Unit

Midea's new 360 ° annular air outlet cassette, uninterrupted annular air supply outlet, expands the air supply area by 20%, which has a larger wind area, more uniform wind field, and brings higher cooling and heating comfort. The four louvers can be controlled separately to adjust different blowing angles, different swing modes bring comfortable wind and the hidden display temperature also reduces the interference of the screen to the user. The indoor unit fully considers the relationship among the user, the scene, and the machine, makes the machine cleaner and quieter in a complex business environment, is suitable for schools, shops and other places. 

R290 Air Source Heat Pump Unit

2023 Germany Red Dot Design Award

R290 air source heat pump unit can provide users with a more environmentally friendly and efficient integrated solution of space heating, cooling and domestic hot water. The unit uses the latest R290 environmentally friendly refrigerant, which has GWP only 3, which makes the unit more energy efficient and significantly reduces carbon emissions. It can replace the traditional heating method of burning fossil energy and natural gas.

In addition, the unit is capable of delivering a maximum outlet water temperature of 75 ° C; the air outlet grille of the outdoor unit is aerodynamically designed to ensure excellent air output and quiet operation; the surface of the indoor unit has a smooth glass panel, and the controller is hidden behind an ergonomic dust cover for daily cleaning and maintenance.

Midea Headquarters Building Intelligent Operations Center IOC

2023 German iF Design Award

Relying on iBUILDING, the intelligent operation center of Midea headquarters building accesses the building data of Midea headquarters building through the cloud, and displays all the information in the building through the seven situations of integration, energy, equipment, event, space, environment and security. Through the omni-directional visual presentation of energy consumption data, real-time control and comparative analysis of energy consumption data of equipment in the building can be realized, and the use status of various office facilities in the building can be displayed in real time, so as to improve the efficiency of space management and equipment operation and maintenance, and carry out the green sustainable development of the building to the end; In addition, we will build an open and interconnected intelligent digital ecosystem, realize the regional joint control of the headquarters building, and create a green and intelligent headquarters building benchmark. 

Midea Jingzhou Factory Intelligent Operation Center IOC

2023 German iF Design Award

IOC, the intelligent operation center of Midea Jingzhou Factory, based on the building digital platform of iBUILDING, models the factory park and production line, and comprehensively monitors and analyses the product quality, equipment operation, production situation, carbon emission, energy consumption, park safety and other dimensions to help managers fully and quickly control the operation situation of the factory. Promote collaborative management and optimization of the whole production chain. Based on the digital twin environment, the twin visualization environment of the factory can be constructed, and the inspection business can be flexibly planned according to the needs, so as to reduce the pressure of manual inspection; based on the three-dimensional GIS, the step-by-step visualization of the factory area, plant and equipment can be realized, and the production process and equipment status data can be integrated, so as to realize the rapid positioning of abnormal equipment status such as fault and offline, and improve the response speed of equipment operation and maintenance by more than 30%.

Midea Industrial Park  Intelligent Operation Center IOC

2023 German iF Design Award

IOC, the intelligent operation center of the West Industrial Park of tMidea, has built a three-dimensional visualization operation center with three-dimensional insight into the building situation and data fusion across business systems. Based on the digital twinning capability of iBUILDING and the efficient docking capability of multi-source data, it has realized the information of important indicators such as energy, carbon emissions, equipment, space and comfort in the park. It can integrate and display information such as real-time warning of important events, multi-dimensional statistics of energy consumption data and real-time analysis of indoor environment, and provide comprehensive solutions and services for intelligent people, vehicles, security, equipment, environment and energy.

Starting from the user experience and innovating the design concept, in the future, Midea Building Technologies will continue to lead the digital product experience with design, reconstruct the ideal of digital life with technology, and make the wonderful digital experience serving more users.
