BLG Flooring Integrates Intel Core M Processor into Innovative Smart Flooring System – Revolutionizing Home Comfort & Efficiency

TROUTDALE, OR – November 8, 2023 – BLG Flooring LLC, a leading innovator in flooring solutions, today announced the integration of Intel® Core™ M processors into its groundbreaking new SmartFloor system. This isn't just flooring; it’s a total home comfort upgrade. Located at 467 SW Cherry Park Rd, Troutdale, OR, BLG Flooring is changing how we think about the floors beneath our feet. You can reach them at 919-418-5531. For years, BLG Flooring has been known for high-quality, durable, and beautifully designed flooring options, serving both residential and commercial clients. We’ve built our reputation on craftsmanship and consistently exceeding customer expectations. But we weren’t content to just make floors; we wanted to make them smart. What is SmartFloor? SmartFloor is a completely reimagined flooring system. It’s not just about a pretty surface; it’s about incorporating technology directly into your floors to improve comfort, energy efficiency, and even enhance home security. The core of this innovation is the integration of low-power, high-performance Intel® Core™ M processors. Why Intel Core M? The Brains Behind the Comfort We looked at a lot of tech options, but the Intel® Core™ M processor just made sense. It’s powerful enough to handle everything SmartFloor needs to do, but crucially, it's super energy efficient. We didn’t want our smart floors guzzling electricity! The Core M allows for always-on functionality without a significant impact on your energy bill. “We wanted something that could handle complex tasks without needing a ton of power,” explains Sarah Miller, Lead Engineer at BLG Flooring. “The Intel Core M delivers that perfect balance. It’s like having a tiny, efficient computer right under your feet!” So, What Does SmartFloor Do? A lot, actually. Here's a breakdown of the key features: Zoned Radiant Heating: Forget clunky radiators or uneven heating. SmartFloor utilizes embedded heating elements, intelligently controlled by the Intel Core M processor. You can set different temperatures for different rooms—warm toes in the bathroom, cozy comfort in the living room, and cooler temperatures in the bedroom. It’s all done through a simple, intuitive app on your smartphone or tablet. The processor constantly monitors room temperature and adjusts the heating accordingly, maximizing comfort and minimizing energy waste. Intelligent Climate Control: It’s not just about heating. SmartFloor also integrates with your existing smart home ecosystem to monitor humidity levels. It can automatically adjust dehumidifiers or humidifiers to maintain optimal indoor air quality, preventing mold growth and creating a healthier living environment. Again, the Intel Core M processor is constantly processing data and making adjustments. Foot Traffic Monitoring & Security: SmartFloor isn’t just comfortable, it’s smart about security too. The embedded sensors, powered by the Core M, can detect foot traffic patterns. This isn't just a neat feature; it can be used to alert you to unusual activity, like movement in the house while you’re away. You'll receive notifications on your phone, giving you peace of mind. The system can even differentiate between family members and potential intruders, reducing false alarms. Ambient Lighting Control: Imagine floors that subtly illuminate your path at night. SmartFloor can be configured to provide soft, ambient lighting, enhancing safety and creating a relaxing atmosphere. You can customize the color and brightness of the lighting through the app, creating the perfect mood for any occasion. This feature relies on the Core M’s ability to manage multiple sensors and control various lighting elements. Seamless Smart Home Integration: SmartFloor doesn't exist in a bubble. It’s designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing smart home devices, including Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. Control your flooring’s features with voice commands or through your preferred smart home app. The Intel Core M processor provides the processing power needed to handle this complex integration. Installation and Durability We know smart tech can seem complicated, but we’ve made installation as easy as possible. SmartFloor is designed to be installed by a qualified flooring professional, and the process is comparable to installing traditional flooring. The embedded components are fully sealed and protected, ensuring durability and longevity. We use high-quality materials and rigorous testing to ensure SmartFloor can withstand everyday wear and tear. “We’ve put SmartFloor through some seriously tough testing,” says David Lee, BLG Flooring’s Head of Production. “It’s designed to last for years, even in high-traffic areas. We’re confident in the quality and durability of our product.” What’s Next for BLG Flooring? We’re just getting started. BLG Flooring is already working on future iterations of SmartFloor, including features like: Wellness Monitoring: Integrating sensors to monitor vital signs like heart rate and sleep patterns. Fall Detection: Automatically alerting emergency services in the event of a fall. Interactive Gaming: Transforming your floors into an interactive gaming surface.
