Midea

Posted on by

Midea Group announced that it has featured on the 2020 Fortune Global 500 List for the fifth year running, ranking 307th place, moving up 5 places compared to 2019. The Group first entered the Fortune Global 500 list in 2016. Over the past five years, Midea has continuously climbed up the ranks thanks to the company’s dedication towards innovation. This year, Midea Group has started transforming five of its key businesses, including Consumer Appliances, HVAC Systems, Components, Industrial Automation and Smart Logistics. “Looking ahead – they state from the company – Midea Group will continue to focus on achieving its aim of becoming a world-leading technology corporation through the development of innovative platforms including its retail and industrial cloud arms.”
The Group expresses its satisfaction for this result after a difficult year spent facing the pandemic problems.

«As a company with major operations in China and around the world – the CEO, Paul Fang wrote on February to all the Midea staff – we have a responsibility to contribute to the fight against this epidemic. I am extremely proud of the efforts that this company has already made and the fact that we were one of the first to respond. We donated thousands of appliances to Huoshenshan Hospital and have donated 100 million yuan to contribute towards the relief efforts.

BSH new products

Posted on by

BSH presented at this year’s IFA its innovative products and personalized services for the kitchen. Smartness is a protagonist: the digital platform Home Connect is currently available in 40 countries and 25 languages, and offers significantly greater convenience than simply the remote control of appliances. By using this interactive assistant, many kitchen tasks can be defined to meet users’ own preferences. Everything from a digital recipe search in the app and controlling a connected oven to prepare a selected dish, to choosing the dishwasher’s program and lighting in harmony with the atmosphere of the evening. Besides, BSH’s SystemMaster ensures added convenience: this new microprocessor turns BSH brand appliances into digital services platforms. Among other things, it helps BSH’s own customer service center to diagnose and fix equipment faults via remote maintenance. In addition, self-learning algorithms allow the development of new services that are more accurately tailored to consumers’ needs. SystemMaster represents solutions with which BSH can continue its journey from a manufacturer of analogue home appliances to a sector leader for digital services and personalized kitchen experiences.
As regards to the dish washing, BSH presented the new series of dishwashers. This entirely newly-developed series is a multi-brand platform for a range of different models – from basic to premium. All the dishwashers are fitted with SystemMaster, are Internet-capable, and thus can learn to adapt to consumers’ individual routines and receive regular system updates over-the-air. The appliances are extremely energy-saving due to zeolite drying, and offer many intelligent solutions such as a completely new interior layout with a third load deck for small kitchen utensils that enlarges the load compartment by up to 25%, or an innovative “glass zone” in which even high-value glasses can be safely put into the dishwasher. In addition, Siemens focuses on cookery-related innovations, with its presentation of the new “glassdraftAir” table-top cooling fan together with two new cooking hobs: “activeLight” with an interactive light matrix and “inductionAir Plus”. With the Series 6 washer-dryer, Bosch offers the opportunity to wash and dry up to 6 kg of laundry without interruption – and to do it using steam assistance, so clothes are wearable directly from the machine. The XXL fridge-freezer combination offers more space and the innovative “VitaFresh” freshness system ensures that the temperature in specific zones is held constant at 0° Celsius, so fresh foods such as fish or salad have longer shelf lives, and does it all with an A+++ energy efficiency rating.
Finally, BSH places great value on achieving an ecologically sustainable design for its entire value-added chain. This holds true both for the manufacture of the appliances and for the continuous improvement of their energy efficiency. The efforts to achieve a recycling economy initiated by BSH are also leading to a considerable overall reduction in the use of resources, in emissions and in energy consumption. As a clear statement of its own commitment to this, BSH will fully neutralize carbon dioxide emissions from its own sites worldwide by the end of 2020. This will make the development and fabrication of all BSH branded appliances climate-neutral from 2021 onwards.

Samsung at IFA

Posted on by

Samsung Electronics Co. on Wednesday unveiled a set of new home appliances and gadgets for the European consumers that highlight human-centered solutions amid the pandemic.

At the Life Unstoppable online event, Samsung introduced its latest innovations, from washing appliances to smartphones, with a goal of delivering “connected, seamless experiences” to consumers.

The South Korean tech giant usually showcases its new home appliance products in the second half at the IFA, Europe’s largest tech expo.

But this year, Samsung decided not to participate in the IFA due to the COVID-19 pandemic and instead hosted its own event that allows users to experience its latest products through an interactive virtual world

This year has seen us completely re-evaluate our relationship with technology, in a way that no one could have expected,” said Benjamin Braun, chief marketing officer at Samsung Europe. “At Samsung, we not only embrace these changes, but aim to stay one step ahead, already innovating with the future in mind.”

Hoping to ride on the pandemic-driven stay-at-home trend, Samsung unveiled a new home cinema projector, the Premiere, for the first time. The product’s high-end model uses triple laser technology to deliver 4K picture quality.

The Terrace, Samsung’s outdoor lifestyle TV that was first unveiled in the United States in May, made its European debut. The Terrace will be available in 55-, 65- and 75-inch models in Europe, according to the company.

For gamers, Samsung unveiled its new curved monitor, the Odyssey G5 series, offering more display options in addition to its Odyssey G9 and G7 products. The Odyssey G5, boasting 144Hz refresh rate, comes in 27-inch and 32-inch models.

Samsung also introduced laundry appliances with upgraded artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and refrigerators highlighting customization features.

Samsung hopes its Bespoke refrigerator range can deliver brisk sales in Europe. The Bespoke refrigerator is built under the company’s Project Prism, which aims to reflect consumers’ lifestyles and allows them to personalize the materials, colors, shapes and designs of the products.

When it comes to mobile devices, Samsung showcased the Galaxy Tab A7 tablet with a 10.4-inch screen and the Galaxy A42 5G smartphone with a 6.6-inch screen and quad-camera setup.

The Galaxy Fit 2 wristband with upgraded features for fitness tracking was also unveiled.

To better assist consumers who use multiple mobile gadgets, Samsung introduced the Wireless Charger Trio that can charge three devices all at once.

Samsung &LG new products

Posted on by

South Korea’s two tech giants — Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics Inc. — on Friday said they will release new home appliance products in Europe to boost sales in the region amid the pandemic.

Samsung said it will begin launching a new laundry appliance with upgraded artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and a new refrigerator highlighting customization features in major European markets, such as Britain, France and Germany, late this month.

The WW9800T washer cuts washing time by up to 50 percent and energy usage by 20 percent compared with its previous models, according to Samsung. Its latest washing machine also comes with EcoBubble technology, which maximizes the effectiveness of detergent by turning it into soft bubbles and allows for faster penetration into fabrics, Samsung said.

With its AI Control technology, Samsung said its new washer can automatically suggest the optimal wash cycle.

“AI Control eliminates the need for users to scroll through cycles to find the right one, or to input their individualized settings each time,” it said. “The AI Wash feature uses sensors to detect the laundry load’s weight and soilage, to determine the optimal amount of water and detergent to dispense.”

Samsung’s new RB7300 refrigerator will make its debut in Europe. The bottom-mount freezer (BMF) refrigerator boasts thinner interior walls, offering a larger internal capacity of 385 liters, 18 liters larger than the previous model, the company said.

Samsung’s Bespoke refrigerator range will also make its first appearance for European consumers. The product will be first sold in Nordic countries in October and will be available in other European nations over the next year.

The Bespoke refrigerator is built under the company’s Project Prism, which aims to reflect consumers’ lifestyles and allows them to personalize the materials, colors, shapes and designs of the products. The refrigerator has already been launched in other nations, including South Korea and China.

Samsung said its latest refrigerators and laundry lineup will be further explained at its “Life Unstoppable” virtual event Wednesday. The company will host the online event as a replacement for IFA 2020, Europe’s largest tech expo, which it decided to skip due to the pandemic.

LG said three new refrigerator models highlighting better hygienic and AI features will hit the shelves in Europe. Starting with Sweden next month, the refrigerators will be launched in more than 20 European countries by the first half of the next year, according to the company.

LG said its InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerator with UVnano utilizes ultraviolet LED light technology and can disinfect the water dispenser outlets once every hour to remove up to 99.9 percent of bacteria and germs.

The 569-liter refrigerator is also equipped with advanced technologies that can minimize temperature fluctuations and make entire fridge space cooler by distributing airflow from strategically placed vents, LG said. Its ice maker located in the freezer drawer can produce two-inch spherical ice balls.

LG’s updated Fridge and Freezer pair is comprised of a 386-liter fridge and a 324-liter freezer. They can be purchased separately, but consumers can buy both of them and connect them to look like a single refrigerator.

“They are designed to fit easily into standard kitchen cabinetry for a clean, minimalist look,” LG said. “Their flat door design and zero-clearance hinges are ideal for installing right next to a wall for a seamless, built-in appearance.”

Its latest InstaView ThinQ refrigerator boasts a consumer-centric AI platform, LG said.

Any food item placed inside or removed from the refrigerator is automatically tracked via its advanced vision recognition technology, LG said. The company’s AI technology also allows the refrigerator to offer meal suggestions after analyzing food items in the fridge and even inform other home appliances what to do.

“It can set a connected oven to the right cooking temperature based on the recipe and even choose the optimal wash cycle for the dishwasher based on the meal,” LG said.
