BLG Flooring Integrates Intel Core m Processor Tech for Revolutionary Smart Flooring Solutions

TROUTDALE, OR – November 8, 2023 – BLG Flooring LLC, a leading innovator in flooring solutions, today announced a groundbreaking integration of Intel Core m processor technology into its latest generation of smart flooring products. This move positions BLG Flooring at the forefront of the burgeoning smart home market, offering customers unparalleled levels of comfort, convenience, and data-driven insights within their living spaces. For years, BLG Flooring has been committed to pushing the boundaries of flooring design and functionality. Located at 467 SW Cherry Park Rd in Troutdale, Oregon, the company has built a reputation for quality craftsmanship and a commitment to sustainability. But BLG isn't just about beautiful floors; it's about creating living experiences. Now, with the power of Intel inside, they're taking that experience to a whole new level. “We've always believed flooring should be more than just something you walk on,” says a BLG Flooring spokesperson. “It's a core part of your home, a foundation for life. So, we asked ourselves, ‘What if your floor could do more?’ That's where the idea to embed processing power directly into the flooring came from. And Intel’s Core m processor was the perfect fit." So, what exactly does a 'smart floor' powered by Intel look like? The core of BLG’s innovation lies in a proprietary sensor network embedded within each flooring plank. These sensors, coupled with the processing power of the Intel Core m processor, can detect a wide range of data points, opening up a world of possibilities. Here's a breakdown of the features being rolled out: Occupancy Detection & Adaptive Climate Control: Forget fiddling with the thermostat! BLG's smart flooring can tell if a room is occupied and automatically adjust the temperature to optimize comfort and energy efficiency. Walking into a bedroom? The floor senses your presence and begins cooling it down. Leaving the living room? It raises the temperature. It’s smart heating and cooling, working with your lifestyle. Foot Traffic Analysis & Room Usage Insights: Ever wondered how much time you actually spend in each room? The flooring tracks foot traffic patterns, providing valuable data on how you use your space. This information can be accessed through a user-friendly mobile app, giving you a better understanding of your daily routines and helping you optimize your home layout. Fall Detection & Emergency Alerts: A significant benefit, especially for homes with elderly residents or young children, is the built-in fall detection system. The floor can identify sudden impacts and unusual movements, triggering an alert to designated contacts in case of an emergency. It provides peace of mind knowing there’s an extra layer of safety within the home. Ambient Lighting Integration: The flooring can also work in conjunction with smart lighting systems. As you walk across the floor, embedded sensors can trigger changes in the ambient lighting, creating customized pathways and moods. Imagine a soft glow guiding you to the bathroom at night, or a vibrant pathway leading you to the entertainment center. Security Enhancements: The sensors aren’t just about comfort; they can also enhance home security. The flooring can detect unusual movements and vibrations, alerting homeowners to potential intrusions. It’s an added layer of protection working silently beneath your feet. Personalized Comfort Profiles: The flooring learns your habits and preferences over time. It can automatically adjust the temperature, lighting, and other settings based on your individual comfort profile. It's a truly personalized living experience. Why Intel Core m? The choice of the Intel Core m processor wasn't accidental. BLG Flooring needed a processor that was powerful enough to handle real-time data processing, yet energy-efficient enough to be seamlessly integrated into the flooring without impacting energy bills. “We needed something that could handle the sensor data, run the algorithms, and communicate with other smart home devices, all while using minimal power,” explains the BLG Flooring engineer leading the project. “The Intel Core m provided the perfect balance of performance and efficiency. It’s a small, powerful chip that allows us to deliver a truly innovative experience.” Sustainability at the Core BLG Flooring remains committed to sustainability. The smart flooring is manufactured using environmentally friendly materials and processes. The energy-efficient Intel Core m processor further reduces the environmental impact of the product. “We believe that innovation and sustainability go hand-in-hand,” says the company spokesperson. “We’re committed to creating products that are not only technologically advanced but also environmentally responsible.” Availability & Pricing The BLG Flooring smart flooring is currently available for pre-order, with shipping expected to begin in early 2024. Pricing will vary depending on the size of the area and the level of customization.
