T


ime, temperature, mechanical action and chemicals management. T ose have always been the key ingredients in the laundry process. What has changed is the ability to optimize those parameters to achieve better results and, importantly, improve effi ciency.


Intelligent laundry equipment manufacturer


Grandimpianti I.L.E. has been working to deliver that for almost 50 years. Taking advantage of local mechanical and steel processing expertise around its base in Northern Italy, it has developed a keen focus on product design and innovation, enabling its customers to deliver the best in performance, service and support. “In our biggest business sector – healthcare and homes


for the elderly – the control, reliability and safety of Grandimpianti’s next-generation washing machines, as well as the ability to monitor the machines remotely, are vital to our business,” says Matthias Odink at Laundry Total in Netherlands. Laundry Total delivers a complete laundry service,


supplying washing machines and detergent and maintenance services. Remotely monitoring machines enables it to confi rm how clients use laundry programs and forecast when they will require detergent supplies. Remote monitoring is a key benefi t of T e Mind


– Grandimpianti’s cloud-based control program. It comprises cloud-based data feeds on resource use and machine operation, plus a network of know-how, diagrams and processes to optimize operation and predict maintenance issues before they occur. “We can see how many cycles a machine has done, how it was loaded, how much detergent is used and much more. It has allowed us to develop diff erent strategies to grow our business, such as charging customers per cycle. It suits our concept perfectly,” says Odink. “Laundry is often down in the basement and reports


of problems can often be slow,” says James Holmes, sales director at UK-based commercial laundry company WashCo. “Often, no one knows what the problem is, so an engineer would need to fi rst go in and identify the problem, then get the part and fi x it.” T e majority of WashCo’s business is in care homes,


though it also supplies hospitals, hotels, spas, football clubs and more. “Now, we can remotely identify the asset and what


the problem is, so there is less downtime,” he adds. “Our clients cannot aff ord any downtime. In care homes especially, laundry is paramount, and it has come under the microscope during the pandemic. T e focus on temperature validation and hygiene has ramped up, and clients can now get their own temperature reports, so there is no need for an engineer to visit.” “Most of the fi xes can be done remotely, too,” notes


Odink. “We can look at what customers are doing and help them to use the machine better.”

Grandimpianti


Owners of commercial washing machines need effi ciency, reliability and reduced downtime. Two customers, Laundry Total’s Matthias Odink and WashCo’s James Holmes, tell Jim Banks how Grandimpianti I.L.E.’s cloud- connected machines deliver that


Total control Another key feature of Grandimpianti’s machines is Wavy Control – a user-friendly, interactive touchscreen interface. It enables the programming and monitoring of machines in a way any user familiar with a smartphone app can understand. It adapts to each user’s level of experience, ensuring the best results right away. “It is a simple interface compared to other brands,” says Holmes. “It is as simple as using a tablet. T e controls are color- coded and intuitive. No one else off ers that in the UK.” Grandimpianti is also taking a lead on blending


effi ciency with sustainability. With its GWH450 and GWH600 machines – typically used by on-premise laundries taking in commercial loads – owners can monitor performance, the weight of laundry, water and chemical usage in order to increase effi ciency and, ultimately, maximize revenue. “T ese machines can deliver big savings,” says Holmes. “Usually, these laundries are not using skilled labor, so the ability to monitor and operate machines remotely is very important. Also, these are the fi rst machines to which we have fi tted a water recovery system, which saves money because less water needs to be heated and, overall, less water is used. T at greatly improves sustainability.” In every way possible,


Grandimpianti I.L.E. has taken the simple concepts of laundry and improved them. 
