About The Entry

In Europe and the US, many new mothers need to return to the workplace shortly after giving birth, often making nighttime feedings a dual challenge of time and sleep. The FD04 Smart Automatic Formula Maker was designed from the ground up to alleviate the anxiety of these nighttime routines, helping new parents seamlessly navigate the formula-feeding stage through intelligent automation. Its "one-touch, 10-second" preparation feature allows mothers to effortlessly make a perfectly proportioned and temperature-perfect bottle, even in the middle of the night. Featuring smart app control and scheduling functions, parents can set up feedings in advance, enabling truly hands-free convenience and a smarter approach to parenting.

At the heart of the FD04 lies the design philosophy of “Soft Technology.” Its gently rounded silhouette eliminates sharp edges, conveying a sense of safety and approachability through form alone. The gradient-tinted, transparent formula chamber offers at-a-glance visibility of remaining powder while inviting subtle daily interaction. A touch-sensitive interface, illuminated by a soft, warm glow, delivers a refined tactile experience that quietly elevates the product’s premium tech aesthetic. Striking a delicate balance between visual elegance and emotional resonance, the design team reimagined the formula maker not merely as an appliance—but as a silent “nighttime companion,” using gentle light and intuitive intelligence to nurture calm, connected moments between parent and child.

The FD04 features two core innovations: a precision water temperature control system and an electronic scale for accurate powder measurement. The former ensures the water temperature is constant for every bottle, with negligible deviation. The latter guarantees the powder-to-water ratio is accurate to the gram, ensuring consistent texture and optimal nutrition. Users can customize settings via the app or the control panel, and the machine will automatically handle the entire process of heating, mixing, and dispensing. Furthermore, the FD04 includes a built-in anti-bacterial self-cleaning cycle that flushes the internal tubing, preventing residue buildup and contamination while alleviating cleaning worries. A thoughtful night light function provides gentle illumination for late-night operation.
