Chi Forest: The Future of Intelligent Freezers

Revolutionizing the Way We Manage and Sell Products

Chi Forest, designed by Gaosong Liu and Sihai Chen, is a groundbreaking smart freezer that is set to transform the retail industry. With its integration of IoT technology, AI algorithms, image recognition, and big data analysis, this intelligent freezer offers unprecedented capabilities in real-time monitoring, management, and sales optimization.

This innovative freezer leverages IoT technology to remotely transmit crucial data, such as the number of goods on sale, product types, and expiration dates, to a centralized management system. This real-time monitoring allows businesses to efficiently track and manage their inventory, reducing commodity waste and improving replenishment efficiency.

One of the key strengths of Chi Forest lies in its advanced AI algorithms and deep learning technology. By analyzing sales data across different seasons, times, and shelf positions, this intelligent freezer can determine the optimal display location and time for each product. This data-driven approach significantly increases product sales and enhances overall operational efficiency for businesses.

Chi Forest stands out from other freezers on the market with its patented Ovlon roller structure. After a customer takes a product, the following product automatically slides into the position where the previous one was taken, enabling automatic replenishment. This seamless and user-friendly experience sets Chi Forest apart from traditional freezers.

Designed with a minimalist aesthetic, Chi Forest features a simple and round appearance, expressing the brand attributes of healthy drinks. The body is made from ABS injection molding and cold-rolled steel plate material, while the LED lightbox creates a clean and bright effect. With dimensions of 700*900*2000mm, Chi Forest is compact yet spacious enough to accommodate a wide range of products.

The development of Chi Forest was driven by extensive research on the challenges faced by brand owners in managing product displays and obtaining crucial sales data. Traditionally, businesses had to rely on sales personnel to manually collect this information, resulting in high labor costs, low efficiency, and inconsistent implementation standards. By adopting Chi Forest, businesses can now obtain real-time sales feedback data, enabling more timely decision-making and improved supply chain management.

Recognizing its exceptional design and functionality, Chi Forest was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Wholesale, Retail Trade, Commerce, and E-Commerce Design category in 2022. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the innovative and resourceful nature of Chi Forest, which incorporates best practices in art, science, design, and technology.

Chi Forest, designed by Gaosong Liu and Sihai Chen, is revolutionizing the retail industry with its intelligent features and data-driven approach. By offering real-time monitoring, optimized sales strategies, and automatic replenishment, Chi Forest empowers businesses to enhance their operational efficiency and deliver an exceptional customer experience.
