Airet Unveils AI ‘Condition-Aware Automatic Care’ Ushering in a New Era of Intelligent Footwear Management

Austin KOO, CEO of Airet, discusses the shift from simple storage to 'Intelligent Preservation' and how AI is redefining the overlooked entryway of the smart home.
On-Device AI analyzes 'Shoe Signals' from 100+ shoe types, creating context-aware care routines that reduce overprocessing and preserve ideal condition.
The Overlooked Entryway and the Hidden Costs of Uniform Care
While smart home innovation has focused heavily on the living room and kitchen, the entryway the gateway to the home has been largely neglected. Traditional shoe care methods have relied on uniform functionality, failing to account for the diverse materials of modern footwear. This one-size-fits-all approach often leads to "over-processing," which can accelerate leather aging, damage sensitive textiles, or even promote hydrolysis in the specialized polymers of expensive sneakers. Airet directly tackled these challenges with the philosophy that different shoe conditions must be recognized and responded to differently.
Reading the Condition: The Science of ‘Shoe Signals’
The core of Airet's innovation is its proprietary multi-modal data interpretation system, "Shoe Signals." This system synthesizes data from three critical sources to build a comprehensive understanding of the footwear's current state.
First, advanced computer vision, powered by optimized deep learning algorithms, automatically recognizes over 100 distinct shoe types and materials. Second, integrated precision sensors continuously monitor the micro-environment, capturing real-time changes in humidity, temperature, and air quality. Third, the system learns the user's lifestyle patterns, such as wear frequency. By fusing these data streams, the device autonomously determines the precise care "this shoe needs right now."
AI-Designed ‘Context-Aware Care Routines’ and Inside-Out Delivery
After assessing the condition via 'Shoe Signals,' the AI immediately generates a customized, context-aware care routine, instead of relying on fixed presets. The execution of this routine is facilitated by Airet’s proprietary "Intensive Care Unit" a specialized insert (shoe tree mechanism) that delivers treatment directly inside the shoe.
The AI dynamically controls this hardware, adjusting the drying temperature, duration, air circulation patterns, and UV-C exposure profiles. This ensures that the AI-optimized airflow and sterilization reach deep into the shoe, providing an "inside-out" care solution that drastically outperforms conventional methods. This intelligent adaptation suppresses the over-processing that reduces material longevity while effectively restoring the comfort and structural stability of the footwear.
Real-Time On-Device AI : Immediate Response and Robust Privacy
Crucially, all these complex computations from image recognition to routine generation are performed using real-time On-Device AI (Edge Computing). This architecture is vital for the user experience, ensuring immediate response without network latency. It also provides robust privacy protection, as sensitive data such as personal usage patterns and images are not transmitted to external servers. Care records are stored and utilized with a local-first approach, requiring explicit user consent.
Beyond Appliances : The Entryway as a Wellness Partner
Airet transcends traditional appliance functions by leveraging its data analysis for user wellness. The system's vision technology continuously scans and analyzes the wear patterns of the shoe's outsole and the compression of the midsole. This allows the AI to predict the functional lifespan of the shoe and recommend optimal replacement times to prevent injury. By detecting asymmetrical wear patterns, Airet can provide early indicators of potential posture imbalances or gait issues, acting as a proactive wellness partner.
Market Validation and Strategic Momentum
Airet's technology has already gained significant traction in the premium smart home market. Focusing initially on B2B partnerships for built-in appliances, the company has secured multiple contracts and letters of intent with leading construction partners in Korea. This rapid adoption validates the demand for sophisticated, integrated solutions and serves as a springboard for North American expansion.
Redefining the Entrance as an ‘Intelligent Gateway’
“While homes have evolved dramatically with AI, the entryway has remained the smart home's forgotten frontier a mere ‘wooden box.’
Airet marks the pivotal moment where this space transitions from passive storage to active, intelligent preservation.
Our Condition-Aware Automatic Care technology redefines the entryway as a truly dynamic part of the modern home.”
— Austin KOO, CEO of Airet
"Care begins the moment they’re stored. It reads the condition and cares just enough. Furthermore, it provides 'Lifestyle Condition Insights,' based on the data we analyze. Building on our strong domestic references, we are now focused on expanding into the North American market. We are redefining the entrance as an 'Intelligent Gateway' encompassing family health and hygiene," KOO stated.
Airet’s ‘Condition-Aware Automatic Care’ is shifting the perception of footwear from disposable items to valuable assets, setting a new standard for the entryway—the smart home’s forgotten frontier.
