BLG Flooring Integrates Intel Core M Processors into Smart Flooring Solutions, Revolutionizing Home Comfort and Data Insights

TROUTDALE, OR – October 26, 2023 – BLG Flooring LLC, a leading innovator in flooring solutions based in Troutdale, Oregon, today announced a groundbreaking integration of Intel Core M processors into its latest line of smart flooring. This isn't just about a pretty floor; it's about a floor that thinks, learns, and helps create a truly connected home. For years, BLG Flooring has been known for crafting high-quality, durable, and aesthetically pleasing flooring options for residential and commercial spaces. We’ve built a reputation on using sustainable materials and employing cutting-edge manufacturing techniques. Now, we're taking it a step further. We’re not just selling flooring, we're delivering a platform for smarter living. “We've always been focused on how people live on our floors, not just how they look," says a BLG Flooring spokesperson. “That led us to ask, 'What if your floor could do more?' That 'more' is now a reality with our new smart flooring powered by Intel." What does a ‘Smart Floor’ even do? Okay, so you're probably thinking, "A floor with a processor? What's the point?" It's more practical than it sounds. The integration of the Intel Core M processor allows our smart flooring to collect and analyze data regarding occupancy, temperature, and even subtle movement patterns within a room. Think of it like this: Occupancy Detection: The floor knows when you're in a room. This isn’t just about turning lights on and off (though it can do that!). It can dynamically adjust the thermostat, optimize energy usage, and even send alerts if someone falls – especially important for elderly residents. It's peace of mind, built right into the floor. Temperature Mapping: Forget cold spots! The smart floor can create a detailed temperature map of the room, helping you identify areas that need better heating or cooling. It can then communicate with your smart thermostat to address those imbalances automatically. Motion Sensing & Security: Beyond just detecting presence, the floor can differentiate between normal activity and unusual movement. This adds an extra layer of security to your home, alerting you to potential intrusions. Wellness & Health Insights: We're exploring the potential of using the floor's sensors to track gait and movement patterns, potentially identifying early signs of health issues. This is still in development, but the possibilities are exciting. Why Intel Core M? The Brains Behind the Operation Choosing the right processor was crucial. We needed something powerful enough to handle data processing and communication, but also energy-efficient and compact enough to be seamlessly integrated into the flooring structure. The Intel Core M processor proved to be the perfect fit. “We needed a processor that could deliver performance without compromising energy efficiency or adding significant bulk,” explains BLG Flooring’s lead engineer. “The Intel Core M offers a fantastic balance of power and efficiency, allowing us to create a smart flooring solution that’s both effective and sustainable." Here's what makes the Intel Core M stand out for this application: Low Power Consumption: Critical for a device embedded within the floor. We don’t want this adding to your electricity bill! Compact Size: Allows for discreet integration without impacting the floor’s overall profile. Processing Power: Sufficient to handle the data analysis required for occupancy detection, temperature mapping, and motion sensing. Connectivity: Supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing the floor to communicate with other smart home devices. BLG Flooring's Commitment to Sustainability While we're excited about the technological advancements, we haven't forgotten our commitment to sustainability. We’re still using responsibly sourced materials for the flooring itself – think bamboo, cork, and reclaimed wood. The integration of the Intel Core M processor is designed to complement our existing sustainability efforts. By optimizing energy usage through smart temperature control, our smart flooring can actually reduce your carbon footprint. What Does This Mean for You? This isn't just about a tech upgrade; it's about enhancing your quality of life. Imagine a home that anticipates your needs, adjusts to your preferences, and keeps you safe and comfortable. That's the promise of BLG Flooring's smart flooring. Here's how it can benefit you: Increased Comfort: Say goodbye to cold spots and uneven temperatures. Enhanced Security: Gain peace of mind with advanced motion detection and intrusion alerts. Reduced Energy Costs: Optimize heating and cooling to save money on your utility bills. Improved Accessibility: The fall detection feature can be a lifesaver for elderly or disabled residents.
