Intelligent control and HMI for washing machines: efficiency and convenience combined

Modern control module for household appliances
To improve the performance and user-friendliness of an existing washing machine, Antrimon developed an innovative control module (human-machine interface), as well as the embedded software and configuration software. The new solution reduces production costs, simplifies assembly and ensures reliable, long-lasting control – both at the hardware and operator level.

Smart features for maximum efficiency
At the heart of the new washing machine control system is the integrated sensor technology. External sensors are no longer necessary, which saves costs and simplifies the system architecture. Using the modern HMI, users can easily select washing programmes in 24 languages, monitor progress and intuitively adjust parameters. 

From idea to series production
The project encompassed the entire development process – from concept to prototype to series-ready solution. In addition to the control unit, the firmware, cabling and HMI interfaces were also developed and tested.

Focus on customer benefits
The advantages at a glance:

• Intuitive operation for maximum user-friendliness
• Cost savings  through simplified design
• Easy installation thanks to user-friendly design
