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

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.

The Internet of Things has strongly reached the Premium Siemens washing and drying ranges. Now the new iQ800 washer communicates with the iQ800 dryer thanks to the intelligentDry function.

Siemens appliances are distinguished by their exclusive designs and differentiators. 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

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.
