Siemens, has launched its first completely intuitive virtualBrochure. Rejuvenating items utilizing cutting edge CGI demonstrating, activity and realistic narrating, the virtualBrochure presents an energizing option in contrast to printed promoting guarantee.

The virtualBrochure, delivered by Virtual Worlds, is an allowed to-download application, accessible by means of the Google Play Store or App Store. It permits clients to look for Siemens items, and afterward pivot, zoom and connect with them in a way that has essentially not been conceivable as of not long ago. Each apparatus can be investigated in intuitive 3D in close-up detail, and replayed as vivified films inside the application.

Dispatching with the Siemens StudioLine scope of machines, buyers will actually want to see and cooperate with the most recent items in more prominent detail. For instance, items, for example, the new glassDraft Air downdraft extractor, which can be consistently coordinated close by the enlistment hob on account of its thin, rich glass plan.

Because of Virtual Worlds Augmented Reality, items jump from the application, empowering buyers to attempt them for size before they resolve to buy. Retailers can utilize the innovation to develop actual display area shows, eliminating the difficulties and limits of restricted floor space.

BSH new products

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.

The latest innovations by Siemens

This year’s IFA is full of exciting innovations in the field of home appliances. We present highlights from the BSH brand Siemens.

The global Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the world in many ways. Few things are as they were, but a few trends have only been amplified by lockdowns and home offices: for many people, the kitchen is the center of quality of life in their own homes. “Despite – or perhaps because of – Corona, around a third of all city dwellers would like to invest in their kitchen in the near future,” says Roland Hagenbucher, Managing Director of Siemens Home Appliances Germany.  

It is no wonder then that the BSH brand Siemens has placed its focus on the topic “kitchen” for the IFA, which will take place in a virtual showroom in 2020. It is precisely in this field that Siemens can point to years of experience in smart technologies and stylish designs. And it is also precisely in these fields that Siemens is presenting a whole range of innovative and aesthetic new products, all with the aim of improving the quality of life for consumers.

The future of dishwashing

The first demonstration of this, is BSH’s new generation of dishwashers. This clever series was developed for both the Siemens and Bosch brands and is 100% connected from the entry-level model to the premium model. Automated programs allow the consumer to fully adjust the appliance to their needs. Using Home Connect, they can also speed up the washing cycle – no more frantic dishwashing when guests arrive early! 

Of course, the new generation is also available in a wide range of different versions so that the dishwasher can be perfectly integrated into the kitchen. The result is full flexibility without sacrificing performance or appearance.

Showstopping cooking

Combining an elegant look with the latest innovation was also the goal of the glassdraftAir table fan. This slim glass panel sits behind the stove top and can be extended while cooking. The patented Guided-Air technology creates an air curtain behind the glass panel, which directly draws in fumes – even from cooking zones that are further away. This powerful extractor power, together with an integrated light show in the glass panel, sets the stage for showstopping cooking. 

The perfect addition is the activeLight cooktop, upon which pots and pans can be placed flexibly thanks to the interactive light matrix. Of course, the cooktop and the table fan can be connected with each other, so that the power of the extractor fan can be controlled directly from the cooktop – a function which, by the way, is possible with all Siemens cooktops equipped with cookConnect.

Breathtaking design

Good design does not always have to be extravagant – it can also be clever solutions that make life easier for a lot of people. Just like the inductionAir Plus cooktop. This innovative cooktop with integrated extractor fan can be adapted to the most diverse architectural environments, thanks to a wide range of different sizes. So almost every household can enjoy a cooking experience without fumes. No wonder the cooktop has already won an iF Award and a Red Dot Design Award!

A coffee to round things off

The crowning glory for Siemens at IFA 2020 is the EQ.9 plus – a fully automatic coffee machine. This successful series is now available in two different designs: a chic chrome look, similar to typical Italian coffee machines, and a sophisticated dark-inox casing. There is also the new baristaMode, where the espresso or coffee can be adjusted to personal taste. “Especially in times of Corona, when people work from home a lot, I can enjoy coffee in my own home the way I love it,” says product designer Melanie Mager.

Live consciously, eat healthily, save time with BSH Home Appliances

Home Connect is the Bosch and Siemens Appliance ecosystem that offers innovative solutions for a better daily life. This is the intention and mission of the German brand, that has recently presented new interesting products, such as the Cookit, the first all-in-one kitchen appliance with cooking function, offering a wide range of cooking options – from guided cooking and manual cooking to numerous automatic programs. Equipped with an XL pot, maximum temperatures up to 200 degrees and professional accessories, this connected appliance can be fed with ideas from Home Connect’s recipe pool – including various inspirations from the recipes supplier Kitchen Stories for step-by-step recooking.
Siemens also presents a significant innovation: the world’s first oven whose door can be opened by voice control. Siemens iQ800 Premium, instead, is a range of laundry care products, including connected washing machine and matching dryer featuring the latest technologies. For example, the washing machine transmitting its sensor information to the dryer via intelligentDry function. The dryer thus knows how much laundry has been washed and with what number of revolutions it was spun. Based on this information, it automatically selects the appropriate drying program. In addition to that, intelligentDry enables an exact display of the drying time.
To use its smart solutions in an easy way, BSH has given a completely new look & feel to the Home Connect App, which allows connected household appliances from different brands to be operated conveniently.
In addition to the trend themes of connectivity and voice control, artificial intelligence is also opening up new dimensions in the kitchen for the home appliance sector. Bosch presented the first Series 8 sensor oven from the accent line, which predicts when the cake or roast prepared according to an individual recipe will be ready

Siemens Appliances discovers the advantages of a connected world

As every year, Siemens will present its 2019 news in a unique environment at IFA 2019 (stand 101, hall 1.1). Attendees will find the Asian-style cooking zone in Shanghai, the cold range in Cape Town, dishwasher in Paris, design in New York, coffee in Rio, and washing in Berlin, from September 6 to 11.

The main thread of this trip within the Siemens stand will be as a novelty the integration of different collaborating partners in the Home Connect app to control Siemens appliances.

In this area, the possibility of controlling appliances by voice through the most relevant smart speakers of the current market such as Amazon Echo and Google Assistant will be shown. Monitor the remaining time of the dishwasher program from smart watches like LaMetric or prepare a coffee directly from the Fitbit activity wristband in multimedia projections and daily live demonstrations.

It will also present the new version of the Home Connect app will show all the possibilities offered by Siemens connected kitchens.

A good example is the new American Black Inox refrigerator with integrated cameras, the EQ.9 coffee maker that incorporates a fully touch TFT display and LED lighting, or the Slim ceiling extractor. In addition, the range of ovens is expanded, which means that Siemens has more and more appliances that connect to the mobile.

Bosch Siemens appliances posts record sales

Bosch Siemens appliances posts record sales

German white goods maker BSH reported Monday income growth for all regions, but profits have been hit by a global recall for dishwashers.

Germany’s Bosch Siemens Haushaltgeräte (BSH) logged on Monday a 25 percent dip in profits on the year due to a major recall for dishwashers, but noted its sales were up.

BSH said its profits before tax and interest had dropped by a quarter to 509 million euros ($694 million) in the wake of a worldwide recall for some 5 million dishwashers produced between 1999 and 2005 due to a potential fire threat.

BSH is market leader for household appliances in Europe and in third place globally behind Whirlpool and Electrolux.

Record growth

Sales jumped 7.2 percent to a record level of 10.5 billion euros year-on-year, the company said.

“We want to expand our position on the world market, and while remaining profitable, grow faster than the market,” BSH CEO Karsten Ottenberg said in a statement, underscoring that the company is on target for further growth.

Higher income was mirrored by rising sales in all of BSH’s regions. Sales were up 25 percent in China and 18 percent in North America. A boost in the company’s income in Europe was attributed to the acquisition of Polish appliance maker Zelmer S.A.

BSH manufactures white goods under a number of brands, including Neff, Gaggenau, Constructa and Thermador.

The recall began last August and the company has been offering owners free repairs or discounts on new machines.
