Do you remember the old washing machine your parents owned when you were a kid?
After mom would load up the washer with the family’s laundry she would turn the big central knob to the on position. From that point on the washer would begin to vibrate, shake, and convulse as it seemingly pulverized our clothes into a state of cleanliness again. The loud thumping of the spin cycle would echo throughout the house as the floor beneath us would vibrate. If wash time began to interrupt dinner or family movie night then I would be sent on a mission down to the basement to stop the bubbly beast mid cycle; only to be started up again when we no longer needed to speak or hear our own thoughts again.
Some of you may still experience the horror … I mean nostalgic pleasure of using a washing machine like this today. But I have since moved on to a much more quiet, efficient and smart machine.
Consumers demand connected, intelligent, almost instinctual electronic products to enable their work and delight their senses. Imagine my new washing machine … it is smart enough to optimize its energy and detergent use. It calculates load weight and detects what kind of clothing is being washed. It runs so quiet, it can be housed anywhere. And because it’s connected, I can control its operation through a mobile device anywhere, at any time.
You may not know it, but today’s innovative washing machine designs, are in part the result of leading technology manufacturers using realistic simulation technology to analyze and improve their designs.
By using simulation and design exploration software, white goods manufactures have been able to simulate virtual product tests while evaluating and analyzing hundreds of design options. It’s interesting to learn how the advances in simulation capabilities and computing resources are enabling washing machine producers to save time and money while optimizing the perfect washing machine design for all our needs.
