KUALA LUMPUR: Property developer Gamuda Land and Samsung Malaysia Electronics have collaborated to redefine modern living by integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology into homes, enhancing convenience and significantly reducing carbon footprints.
Under the partnership, Gamuda Land and Samsung will collaborate to furnish Gamuda Cove’s The Camellia show unit with the comprehensive Samsung Bespoke AI ecosystem, the first in Malaysia.
Gamuda Land chief executive officer Chu Wai Lune recognises that, as a township developer, the company must create townships that will last.
“We meticulously design our masterplan components with sustainability at the forefront. Our homes are thoughtfully prepared for the future, being solar-ready with pre-installed conduits for seamless solar panel installation.
“Recognising the significance of sustainable living, we are excited to collaborate with Samsung, a renowned leader in the market for sustainable and smart home appliances, to further enhance the eco-friendly infrastructure already in place at Gamuda Cove,” he said in a statement.
Chu said Gamuda Land remain committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation in sustainable living, and this collaboration exemplifies its dedication to creating smarter, more efficient homes that align with the needs of modern consumers.
“By integrating AI technology into our smart home systems, we can provide better value to our homeowners. This is facilitated by the fact that Gamuda Cove is a 5G-ready township, which opens up new possibilities and opportunities for smart city planning.
“It enables us to monitor, manage, and control devices remotely and to create new insights and actionable information from massive streams of real-time data,” added Chu.
Samsung Malaysia Electronics president Denny Kim said Samsung is harnessing the power of AI to unlock new and impactful experiences that make life better and simpler for all.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Gamuda Land to demonstrate the capabilities of our Bespoke AI appliances to homeowners, enabling them to enjoy the advantages of an intuitive and connected home environment,” he said.
Samsung’s Bespoke AI Home offers future homeowners an opportunity to enhance their lifestyles by streamlining household chores and enabling them to prioritise personal activities.
With AI-driven energy management, personalised recommendations based on user behaviour, and seamless integration with various smart devices such as refrigerators, washers, air conditioners, vacuums, and TVs, homeowners can enjoy heightened convenience and efficiency.
The Bespoke lineup features intelligent functions like AI Energy Mode to optimise energy consumption, AI Wash for tailored laundry cycles, and AI Pro Cooking remotely monitoring oven-cooked dishes.
Continuously learning from users’ habits, Bespoke AI adapts appliance performance to provide customised services that cater to individual preferences and needs.
“In envisioning Gamuda Cove, our aim was to create a township that can stand the test of time. At the core of smart cities lies the seamless integration of urban functions like digital, infrastructure, mobility, environmental monitoring, safety and security, energy systems, sport and recreation, waste, and sustainability management.
“This interconnectedness leverages data to enhance services, elevate living standards, and promote environmental
sustainability. With AI, the possibilities are endless,” Chu said.
He said deploying IoT devices such as surveillance cameras, smart street lighting, and emergency response systems can make neighbourhoods safer and improve community well-being.
Additionally, he said AI can aid in the creation of smart parking systems, streamlining the search for available parking spots through real-time data from sensors and cameras.
Moreover, AI-driven predictive maintenance systems can enhance the upkeep of mobility infrastructure such as roads, bridges, tunnels, and highways by analysing data to forecast maintenance needs, thereby preventing accidents and minimising downtime.
Leveraging AI and 5G technology, Gamuda Land is exploring the integration of 5G-connected smart grids into their townships.
This initiative aims to boost energy efficiency, promising a substantial decrease in energy consumption for sustainable long-term development.
