For a long time, the development of smart bathrooms has been more focused on the single product level. How to break the “ecological island” and truly realize the linkage of smart scenes in the bathroom space is becoming a new competitive proposition in the industry.
On the afternoon of May 26, at the 2026 Shanghai Kitchen and Bathroom Show (KBC), a press conference with the theme of “AI Symbiosis to See the Future” revealed the answer.
At the press conference, Huida Sanitary Ware and JD.com jointly launched the world premiere of the “Xiao Jingling” series of AI sanitary ware.
This is the industry’s first bathroom space package to be connected to JD.com’s JoyInside.
This release is not only a new product debut, but also marks the key transition of the sanitary ware industry from “single point intelligence” to “all-scenario smart ecology” and releases an important signal for the sanitary ware industry to accelerate its move towards “all-scenario smart ecology”.
The rapid development of AI technology is redefining people’s expectations for the home environment.
In the past, consumers’ core demand for bathroom space was “usability and durability”; today, users are increasingly paying attention to whether this space is more comfortable and healthier, and whether it better understands their own rhythm of life and emotional needs.
The role of bathroom space is gradually shifting from a single washing area to a smart field that combines health management, emotional regulation and life companionship attributes.
For a long time, the intelligence of the bathroom industry has been trapped in two misunderstandings: one is “pseudo-intelligence”, that is, functions are stacked but interactions are complex; the other is “ecological island”, where various devices cannot collaborate and the experience is fragmented. At the press conference, Zhang Zijun, director of Huida Sanitary Ware’s e-commerce channel business department, unveiled the core products of the “Xiao Jing Ling” series of AI bathroom ware and the technical logic behind them.
As the industry’s first bathroom space suite to be connected to JD’s JoyInside AI engine, the “Xiao Jingling” series of AI bathroom products covers three core categories: smart toilets, smart showers, and smart bathroom cabinets.
Zhang Zijun introduced in his sharing that unlike traditional products that rely on manual operation, the “Xiao Jingling” series of AI sanitary ware uses the three core interaction technologies of AI voice, microwave induction, and human body perception under a unified AI center to achieve multi-device interconnection and scene-based linkage, providing a more natural and companionable intelligent experience.
For example, when a user walks into the bathroom, the smart toilet can automatically open the lid through human body sensing, the smart shower can automatically adjust the water temperature and volume according to the user’s habits, and the smart bathroom cabinet can provide appropriate skin care suggestions based on the user’s skin type.
This full-scenario intelligent experience allows users to feel unprecedented convenience and comfort in the bathroom space.
This in-depth collaboration between the two parties is expected to serve as a benchmark for the implementation of AI in the entire home furnishing industry.
With the continuous advancement of technology, I believe that more smart home products will realize intelligent scene linkage in the future, bringing more convenience and surprises to people’s lives.
