We are thrilled that many consider COSMOPlat as the world's leading industrial Internet ecosystem brand, and it has even been selected as one of China's top 10 industrial Internet platforms by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology."

With this year's scenario-based presentations, Haier is offering participants a deeper look at its smart home solutions, through the lens of their Internet of things ecosystems. Through a livestream format, Haier distributors in seven countries and factories in six countries will explain the specific solutions, emphasize their localization and customization possibilities.
