Evolution of self-service laundromats

Grandimpianti's smart solution for laundries (smart laundry)

High technology, respect for the environment, and an eye on the bottom line: self-service laundromats are transforming to meet new customer needs and new challenges due to rising energy costs. So here, versatility, customization, ease of use, and resource optimization are becoming increasingly crucial for managers.

High-pressure washers and corrugated dryers meet these essential requirements for the sector, along with other important features, namely high reliability thanks to high-quality materials, and maximum autonomy thanks to the potential of Industry 4.0.

Grandimpianti equipment, equipped with the same user interface, which uses icons, is easy to use and extremely intuitive: the washing cycle corresponds to a drying cycle with the same icon, recognizable even by the least experienced users. Not only that, but there is also synergy in sizes ( from 8 kg to 28 kg) andin appearance (the same glossy fronts and an identical 7-inch vertical touchscreen).

Both, therefore, offer technical solutions to optimize consumption: thanks to the patented dynamic weighing system ( DWS), washing machines automatically dose water, detergents, and energy according to the actual load in the basket (no more machines with light loads), while dryers, using two temperature probes and a special drying diagram, automatically adjust the intensity and duration of the cycle based on changes in the weight and humidity of the laundry, saving energy and reducing drying times.

The laundry manager can then easily create specific cycles for customers with special needs or set prices and discounts to build customer loyalty, all with complete autonomy. Through the WiFi connection and the Mind.Cloud service, they can even monitor and access individual machines and/or points of sale remotely, at any time and without unnecessary travel.

Finally, even laundry customers can exploit the potential of Wavy equipment to their advantage: by scanning the QR code on the machine, they can find out when to pick up their laundry, check the online area showing the time remaining until the end of the cycle, and even check if there are any free machines in the store or when they will be available.
