Smart Appliances Solutions

Connected displays and control boards for household, commercial and kitchen appliances.

Sector Overview

Designing for smart appliances

Smart appliances need a control board that connects to the cloud, a display that survives a kitchen or laundry environment, and a supply chain that can scale from pilot to mass production. We coordinate the hardware, firmware and display integration so your industrial design team does not have to manage five suppliers.

Design Challenges

What usually goes wrong — and how we handle it

Moisture and temperature swings Ovens, dishwashers and laundry equipment create humidity, heat cycles and vibration that consumer tablets cannot survive. Wide-temperature components, conformal coating, sealed front faces and appliance-grade power supplies validated for the target environment.
Certification complexity Home appliances need safety, EMC, wireless and efficiency approvals that vary by market. Pre-certified module architectures, CE/UKCA/FCC documentation packs and coordinated testing with accredited labs.
Cloud and app integration The appliance must talk to a mobile app, a cloud backend or a smart-home ecosystem. Linux or RTOS control boards with Wi-Fi/BT, MQTT/HTTP cloud agents and OTA update frameworks.
Cost at volume A display that looks good at 100 units may be uneconomical at 100,000 units. Panel and controller selection optimised for your annual volume, with second-source planning built in from the start.

Project Examples

Recent work in this sector

Customer names withheld under NDA; technical details shared with permission.

Commercial oven control panel

A 7" bonded PCAP display with a stainless-steel bezel and steam-resistant touch firmware replaced a membrane keypad, giving the OEM cloud-connected recipe management and remote diagnostics.

Smart laundry interface

An SSD2381-based board with Wi-Fi/BT, cloud OTA and a simplified UI halved the number of mechanical buttons while adding cycle tracking and maintenance alerts.
