[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Samsung Electronics recently launched a new ‘Family Hub’ refrigerator in Singapore and held a product experience event inviting major local media, the company announced on the 21st.

The Family Hub is a product introduced by Samsung Electronics in 2016 as the industry’s first refrigerator based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), featuring functions such as ingredient management, family communication, and entertainment in the kitchen space. It has also won the Innovation Award at CES, the world’s largest electronics exhibition, for five consecutive years.

The new Family Hub model allows users to check the ingredients inside the refrigerator anytime and anywhere via a built-in camera through their smartphones. It helps plan weekly menus tailored to the stored ingredients and the pre-set preferences of family members, and also provides recipes.

Through the external touchscreen, it supports features such as the ‘Family Board’ for sharing and communicating memos, photos, videos, and website addresses among family members, the ‘Calendar’ function to view family members’ schedules at a glance, and ‘Bixby Voice’ for voice-command operation of the product.

At the event, Singapore’s famous chef ‘Selamat Susanto’ attended and conducted a cooking show using ingredients from the Family Hub refrigerator.

A Samsung Electronics official said, “Singapore is an advanced Southeast Asian market with high demand for premium home appliances and many consumers who actively embrace smart functions. We expect the Family Hub refrigerator equipped with cutting-edge features to gain great popularity.”
