The smart home helps its residents to get through everyday life in a relaxed and comfortable way. Household appliances contribute to this with multiple benefits, as mechatronics manufacturer Marquardt GmbH (Rietheim-Weilheim, Germany) shows with its new control panels.

Almost all household appliances can be equipped with the visually high-quality and technically innovative control panels – from washing machines, dryers and dishwashers, cookers and ovens to coffee machines. Marquardt is thus heralding the next evolutionary stage in the operation of white goods.
