they can go from a 60 degree wash to 40 and still clean the clothes thoroughly, using the right amount of chemicals and time, thus saving on electricity. It’s about investing in every cycle.”
Cloud control Laundry Total’s work is made easier by their ability to manage Grandimpianti I.L.E. machines remotely through the exclusive
TeMind.cloud platform. Tis system enables them to monitor, track and control all aspects of laundry operations. It includes features for overseeing wash cycles, tracking energy consumption and meeting individual customer requirements. Te platform also allows precise control over drying settings, enabling customers to treat even the most delicate items by adjusting time, temperature and drum rotation speed according to fabric type. “With this smart service,
customers get a huge amount of information every hour of the day, including electricity and water use, any problems, and where they can save money on washing programs,” says Harsevoort. “It’s an impressive smart
package, and we are constantly finding new ways to use the data to improve things for the customers.” Velzen has certainly been won
over. “If there’s a problem with some dirt we can’t clean, we call them, and they can change the washing program from wherever they are – adjusting the temperature, adding more soap or water etc.,” says Velzen. Te washing machines
themselves have a new, interactive control system called Wavy, with a touchscreen interface providing information about the programming and operating of the machine according to the user’s
A unique, innovative and sustainable feature of the new, ‘hybrid’ model Grandimpianti I.L.E. machines is their use of solar panels
experience. Tey also come equipped with a weighing system called MWS as standard, “so every load can be monitored, controlled, measured and recorded online, and changed if needed, which saves up to 50% of detergent use,” adds Giotto. But perhaps the most unique,
innovative and sustainable feature of the new, ‘hybrid’ model Grandimpianti I.L.E. machines is their use of solar panels. “Tey use energy from the
sun to warm up the water in the boilers, and then some of that water is also used for the dryer, combined with electricity (so a hybrid system), to heat the appliance,” says Velzen. “So this saves us money – and is better for the environment.”
Energy efficiency All Grandimpianti I.L.E. dryers use fresh air to cool down the motor, exhaust and rear of the machine. “Te thermal energy absorbed by this fresh air dries the clothes in the machine. Tat’s another energy efficient process we introduced. It saves something like 12 minutes per cycle, which is huge,” says Giotto. “You can control the temperature of the air going in and out of the drum at the touch of a button, thanks to an algorithm we developed. Once calculated, the machine adjusts according to the items being put in (whether it’s t-shirts or bathrobes).” Laundry Total and
Grandimpianti I.L.E. think creatively when it comes to the set up of the machines
themselves. “Laundry rooms are often hidden away in a corner somewhere, far away from everyone, because they’re dirty, noisy and wet places. We want customers to think about making the space brighter so they can show off our machines. We offer them 3D images of the best designs that would suit their space,” says Giotto. “If you think about it, with a nice restaurant the first thing a customer sees is the textiles, not the food, and hotel guests see the bed sheets and towels. So ensuring the space where they’re washed is hygienic and efficient should be key.” ■
