“Enhanced Convenience Through AI and Voice Integration”
A key trend in the Asia-Pacific Blockchain Identity Management market is the rapid adoption of AI and voice assistant integration, reshaping user interaction with access systems. These technologies provide enhanced user convenience, personalized access, and hands-free control, appealing to both residential and commercial sectors.
In January 2024, August Home extended the features of its Wi-Fi Smart Lock with deeper compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, allowing users to control locks and receive access notifications through voice commands and apps.
The Level Lock+, released in late 2023 with Apple, supports Apple’s Home Key, enabling users to unlock doors via iPhone or Apple Watch—a capability widely embraced in Japan, South Korea, and urban Chinese households.
AI-driven models like the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro WiFi, upgraded in Q4 2023, now utilize machine learning algorithms for refining fingerprint recognition and detecting anomalies, which is particularly beneficial for multi-tenant buildings in Singapore and Hong Kong.
In December 2023, WELOCK launched AI-enabled smart locks with auto-unlock proximity sensors and native voice assistant support, responding to rising demand in smart office and co-living spaces in countries like Australia and New Zealand.
These intelligent features are becoming expected by Asia-Pacific consumers, significantly influencing purchasing decisions and pushing manufacturers to integrate AI as a standard offering.
