On October 22, during the CEIC 2026 Consumer Electronics Innovation Conference, the second Shenzhen Kaihong Innovation Technology Conference was held in Shenzhen, where CEO Wang Chenglu unveiled the company’s “Kaihong Smart Space” solution — a unified digital foundation built on OpenHarmony and AI that gives buildings and campuses the ability to sense, understand, act and keep evolving. The event also launched the Kaihong Smart Space Alliance and opened recruitment of certified service providers, aiming to chart a path to large-scale OpenHarmony commercialization with partners across the value chain.
According to the launch, the solution builds its digital foundation on a “super thing model,” Agent applications and an open toolchain, moving spaces from device connectivity and passive response toward proactive service and autonomous operation. Wang called building spaces “the largest application scenario for AI entering the physical world.” Ecosystem figures show that as of May 2026, OpenHarmony’s co-developed codebase has exceeded 140 million lines, with more than 550 ecosystem partners and over 1.3 billion ecosystem devices. Shenzhen Kaihong also released multiple joint-innovation results with partners covering a range of industries at the same event, as government, academia and industry partners explored the road to scaled OpenHarmony commercialization.
From an industry perspective, competition among domestic operating systems is escalating from “replacing devices one by one” to “space-level foundations.” Smart spaces use the OS plus AI as a hub to unify device protocols across vendors and eras — the decisive step for IoT and edge-computing hardware to deploy at scale. The super thing model turns fragmented device capabilities into standardized, callable, composable services, while Agent applications bring large-model intelligence into building and campus operations. For embedded hardware vendors, OpenHarmony’s maturing ecosystem adds a domestic software stack alongside Android and Linux — and multi-OS adaptation capability is becoming a new barrier to entry for board and device makers.
Junyi Microelectronics delivers integrated hardware-software solutions spanning touch panel PCs, compact industrial PCs and edge computing hosts, plus J-series system-on-modules and K-series edge intelligent mainboards. Beyond deep Android and Linux customization, the company maintains system-level adaptation capabilities and, as the OpenHarmony ecosystem grows, can advance OpenHarmony porting and validation for customer programs — offering more domestic software-stack choices for smart spaces and industrial IoT.
