3i Has Been Applauded by Frost & Sullivan with Global First Automatic Refilling Certification

3i, a premium smart home appliance brand, has been applauded by Frost & Sullivan with Global First Intelligent Cleaning Station Certification. Its pioneering water recycling system has revolutionized one of the toughest technical challenges in the robot vacuum industry - the problem of water supply. This system utilizes 90°C water distillation and air-to-water technology to achieve water recycling within the machine, entirely realizing no added water and no drainage functions without water supply and drainage system for the S10 Ultra robot vacuum, thus filling the last missing piece in hands-free floor cleaning. 3i is currently the only brand to accomplish this function.

It is worth noting that Frost & Sullivan ("Sullivan" for short) is one of the largest global industry research and consulting organizations. 3i is a high-end tech home appliance brand with over 70% of its workforce comprised of R&D engineers, focusing on artificial intelligence and innovative applications. After conducting a comprehensive analysis of data from the global robot vacuum market and an objective research into water recycling technology, Sullivan has certified 3i as the innovator behind the "S10 Ultra Robot Vacuum", marking it as the first product in the global robot vacuum industry.

According to the Sullivan certification report, currently, there are three solutions in the global market for robot vacuum with mopping capabilities, all of which aim to address the water supply and drainage challenges. However, none of them can achieve a completely hands-free solution. The industry's previous best approach involved installing water supply and drainage pipes, similar to a washing machine, but this could damage the interior of homes during installation; Another basic solution involved periodically adding water and emptying wastewater using water and waste buckets; There is also a niche solution that employs electrolysis and filtration for multiple cycles of wastewater reuse, although it requires regular filter replacement and only reduces the frequency of water changes.

3i has proposed an optimal solution to the challenging problem of water supply and drainage using structured innovation, creating something "First or Ever". Its groundbreaking water recycling system consists of two parts. Wastewater generated at the S10 Ultra is purified through distillation, turning it into sterile distilled water that meets drinking water standards after CTI testing. To compensate for the clean water loss, the S10 Ultra uses air-to-water technology to extract moisture from the air. The parameters indicate that the maximum daily water production of the 3i cleaning statio is 7.2L, far exceeding the daily cleaning requirements.

In addition to this, 3i has redesigned the S10 Ultra's structure and functions, setting higher standards for the water system, sensor settings, disinfection methods, and algorithms, ensuring the stable and perfect operation of the water recycling system and elevating the S10 Ultra's cleaning capabilities to a higher level. It is these pioneering technologies and features that enable 3i to obtain the global first certification from Frost & Sullivan, making them leaders in technological innovation and creators of remarkable technological achievements.

The S10 Ultra's unique distillation system uses 90°C water for distillation in the water recycling cycle. It is also combined with silver ion sterilization and Unilever herbal cleaning solution for triple disinfection, capable of eliminating 99.9% of H1N1 virus and common bacteria, ensuring that every cleaning operation uses sterile distilled water. Additionally, it achieves deep cleaning of dirt through structural innovation in real-time cleaning of the roller mop, ensuring that the mop in contact with the floor is always clean, avoiding secondary contamination.

Not only in water recycling, but the S10 Ultra also features innovation in AI recognition. Its pioneering green eye dirt recognition function uses AI deep learning to recognize 52 types of dirt and common objects by projecting green laser light on dirt to create different reflection patterns. It then formulates a cleaning strategy, improving the cleaning efficiency and accuracy of the S10 Ultra to a higher level.

If AI is considered the brain of the S10 Ultra, then the water recycling system serves as its "heart". If external "manual blood transfusion and blood exchange" are required to maintain the cleaning process, both the level of intelligence and cleaning effectiveness will be significantly reduced. The 3i intelligent S10 Ultra has truly achieved a hands-free floor cleaning process through its water recycling system. It has also made a significant leap in product deep cleaning capabilities and cleaning efficiency. Hence, it's named the intelligent S10 Ultra to differentiate it from traditional products.

In the field of robot vacuum, the introduction of LDS SLAM technology has marked a transition from random collision-based navigation to the era of global planning. In recent years, the expansion of laser navigation and stations has further propelled the industry into the realm of intelligence. Today, 3i's pioneering water recycling system is leading the industry into a true "water-free" era, providing a robust "heart" for the implementation of more effective cleaning solutions.
