Smart Laundry Baskets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'LaunderPal' Intelligently Manages Clothing with Washer-Friendly RFID Tags

— July 30, 2018 — Art & Design
From artificially intelligent waste receptacles to IoT kitchen kettles, many must-have appliances within the home are getting smart makeovers and LaunderPal is now being introduced as the first-ever smart laundry basket.

While there are helpful laundry machines and detergents on the market that help to care for articles of clothing in the best way possible, much of the onus still falls on consumers to manually sort apparel to avoid shrinking, stretching, as well as colors fading or bleeding. LaunderPal works alongside a back-end server, washable RFID tags and a companion app to assist with the management of one's clothes.

With the app, users are easily able to see which pieces of their clothes are in the basket or not, as well as get assistance when it comes to sorting similar articles of clothing for washing.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Laundry Baskets - LaunderPal uses AI, RFID tags, and a companion app to revolutionize the way clothes are managed and sorted in the laundry process.
2. Artificially Intelligent Appliances - AI technology is being incorporated into various home appliances, allowing for more efficient and effective management of household tasks.
3. Internet of Things (iot) in the Home - IoT devices are becoming increasingly prevalent in homes, providing convenience and automation for various tasks and processes.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliances - The home appliance industry is incorporating smart technology to enhance the functionality and efficiency of products.
2. Retail and Clothing - The retail and clothing industry can explore the use of RFID technology and smart laundry baskets to improve inventory management and customer experience.
3. Internet of Things (iot) Solutions - Businesses specializing in IoT solutions can develop innovative products and services for the smart home market, including smart laundry management systems.
