Golden Award for Panasonic and Gorenje washing machine

2002

panasonic-gorenjeSlovenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIS) awarded its golden award for best innovation to Panasonic AutoCare washing machine, a result of Gorenje’s and Panasonic’s joint development. The washing machine with a capacity of 8 or 10 kg and a number of advanced functions is the first result of cooperation between the development teams from both companies. The development project lasted two years and a half. The Panasonic AutoCare washing machine can automatically find the solution to the most common question when washing a batch of laundry: which program to choose for the best results. The innovative AutoCare function uses four intelligent sensors to perceive the weight of the laundry and water inlet temperature, and to determine both the type of laundry and how soiled it is. Based on these automatically harvested parameters, it then chooses the most suitable washing program.
