Product Development for Laundry Care Appliances
In the field of laundry care and home appliances, product development primarily focuses on high energy efficiency, optimal user comfort, appealing design, and cost-efficient production. Key themes in product development for the engineers at M.TEC include:
- Optimization of efficiency (e.g., through optimized flow guidance)
- Acoustic optimization (e.g., reduction of flow-induced noise)
- Reduction of vibrations (e.g., during the spin cycle of washing machines)
- Optimal handling for the end consumer
- Appealing design for market positioning, including integration of lighting elements
- Economically efficient production
- Maintainability, repairability, recyclability/recycling capability
Additionally, functional aspects are important that allow consumers to clean the household appliances easily and quickly.
Development Examples for Laundry Care Appliances:
- Washing machines
- Clothes dryers/condenser dryers/heat pump dryers
- Ironing stations
Product development Household appliance cleaning
Cleaning appliances for domestic use should be easy to use and work reliably. A modern design and an attractive price play a major role in the purchasing decision. As experienced product developers, the engineers at M.TEC resolve these sometimes conflicting requirements in the product development process. Important aspects in the product development of household appliances for cleaning include:
- Optimum performance (e.g. suction power, pressure performance or volume flow for vacuum cleaners, etc.)
- High energy efficiency (low power consumption, long battery life),
- Optimal operability (low weight, good handling),
- High mechanical resilience/stability,
- Options for cleaning the appliance
- Pleasant acoustics,
- Reduced vibrations.
- Development examples of cleaning appliances
- Vacuum cleaners
- Floor nozzles/vacuum cleaner nozzles
- Dust filters
- Steam cleaners
- Ultrasonic cleaners
Product development of telecommunications devices
