The quest to accomplish things more quickly, more effectively, and more efficiently goes back to the beginning of civilization. It goes all the way back to 2000 BC in Lower Mesopotamia, when people started inserting axles into hollowed pieces of wood to form a wheel.<\/p>\n

Even before automation and continuous improvement were formal disciplines of study, people have naturally sought ways to be more productive. From the introduction of the assembly line to micro-switches and protective relays to computers and robots, the story of industry is one of innovation and evolution.<\/p>\n

Laundry technology is no exception. Innovations like dryers, ironing equipment, and washer-extractors have made the laundry experience more efficient over the years.<\/p>\n

An area of recent innovation is automatic detergent\/chemical dispensing. Automatic dispensers release the precise amount of laundry chemical at the right times, maximizing the cleaning results and minimizing the risk of machine downtime and rewash. Outdated practices like manual dosing and measuring containers are quickly becoming a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

As we know from centuries of industrial experience, innovation never stops. So what is the next innovation in the laundry industry? And how long until it arrives?<\/p>\n

IoT and what it means for laundry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The answer to what comes next is obvious: it\u2019s the Internet of Things (IoT). The answer to when it will arrive may surprise you\u2026because it\u2019s already here.<\/p>\n

The Internet of Things is a broad term to describe the network of physical items that have sensors, wifi, cellular, or bluetooth connectivity, and can share data with users to produce efficiencies. Think of a refrigerator that can notify you of spoiled food or a speaker that can accept verbal commands. These are physical items that can tap into the internet to offer additional features or more robust performance.<\/p>\n

Washing machines, dryers, and now chemical dispensers can also be improved through participation in the IoT. In fact, Hydro is leading the way in driving the impact of IoT technology in the laundry industry.<\/p>\n

Our Hydro Connect IOT platform provides a dashboard of all relevant laundry information for a network of washers, such as:<\/p>\n
