Philips held a global product launch for its smart door locks last August 30 in Malaysia. The launch is meant to showcase Philips as the leader in the smart door locks industry, where it introduced new models under the 9000, 8000, 7000, and 6000 series.
“This is not just a product launch but a new starting point for our journey into the global market. We understand that only by combining our strengths can we embark on a new journey,” Philips Smart Lock Global General Manager Su Zhiyong said.
Philips’ new line of smart locks introduces palm vein recognition, where these smart locks scan complex vein patterns with near-infrared light to create a unique biometric template that is not only accurate and secure but also offers touch less unlocking. Using it is simple, as users simply place their hand in front of the lock to quickly verify their identity and unlock the door. These smart door locks also get a new zigzag-shaped push-pull handle appears to float on the lock panel, and is complemented by ice-blue indicator lights. The handle can be customized further in deep space gray or rose gold that best suits their home environment.
