What new products will Liebherr Domestic Appliances be showing at the IFA 2017 international trade show for consumer electronics and home appliances in Berlin? Digital, creative and individual are just some of the keywords to describe this year’s topics. Learn more about our trade show topics in the overview.
“Making your life smarter” is Liebherr’s motto this year – making clear the direction in which we are heading. After all, fridges and freezers arrived in the digital age quite some time ago. Naturally, Liebherr is ready for this with a whole range of innovations. And for those with a creative touch, our online configurator can be used to design fridges according to their personal taste. However, one thing at a time…
On the topic of digitalisation:
SmartDeviceBox
The integration of the SmartDeviceBox into fridges, freezers and wine storage cabinets opens a new dimension in food storage combined with intelligent food management. The SmartDeviceBox makes it possible to link our fridges and freezers to a network. Featuring modular built-in elements such as the FridgeCamTM and the MIA VoiceControl system, the fridge is becoming the control centre for intelligent living. All SmartDevice Liebherr appliances can be easily fitted with the SmartDeviceBox and can be integrated into SmartHome solutions using WiFi with almost no effort. With the SmartDevice app, for example, customers can obtain an immediate overview of all the important functions and control the appliance from anywhere. You can read all about these new and exciting functions tomorrow in an article in our own FreshMAG.
Customisation/3D mapping
The desire to have a custom-designed environment with products that fit your own individual lifestyle is now a major trend. “Design your fridge” now grants customers the unique opportunity of designing a fridge in accordance with their own tastes and preferences using the Liebherr online configurator. Whether as a hobby, as a gift or as a design highlight in the home environment – MyStyle will soon make this viable. Housing colours and materials can be customised using MyStyle, just like interior features can be. As an exclusive trade show attraction, visitors can try out the configurator for customised appliances our stand. Just like last year, when video sequences and light effects for BluPerformance contents were presented on cube elements by means of 3D mapping, there will be 3D mapping on the topic of “Design your fridge – MyStyle” on display this year. The variety of options for putting your own fridge together is demonstrated in an entertaining way on the cube elements. There will also be more information on this topic in an article soon to be published here in FreshMAG.
