"Why does a washing machine or a dishwasher even need an electronic controller?" as the employee magazine inform also asked.[1] After all, the machines have been washing for decades without this technology. Most people still recall the mechanical clicking sound of the drum controller. On the stagnating home appliance market at the start of the new millennium, innovative new functions and technologies are especially forceful sales arguments.[2] Digitization and the "Internet of Things" are also being implemented in the home appliance sector, for example, with BSH applications such as Home Connect, which was developed in Regensburg. The basis for all of these functions is an electronic controller. It controls the wash program and integrates special components such as AquaSensor, which ensures that the laundry is rinsed until the rinsing water is clear. Washing cycles are thus automatically optimized, and the machine runs in an efficient and energy-saving manner. The appliance is easier to use – and it also offers more programs. Hidden behind the one-button operation are hundreds of commands stored in one chip. BSH defines the main task of EDS in this area: ease of use through innovative technology.
