Henkel to Showcase Cutting-Edge Innovations at CES 2025
New advancements in smart dosing technology highlight the company's commitment to reshaping cleanliness.
Henkel, a recognized leader in consumer and industrial markets, will introduce its exciting vision for the future of laundry and dish care at CES 2025. Among the highlights is a demonstration of fresh smart dosing technologies tied to renowned brands like Persil and Somat. With innovations that promise improved efficiency and sustainability, Henkel is on a mission to transform the entire laundry ecosystem through collaborations with top players in the home appliance industry.
Rethinking the Laundry Experience
The laundry industry is poised for change. With mounting challenges in the supply chain and cost increases impacting large home appliances, manufacturers are reevaluating their business approaches. Factors such as inflation and changing consumer needs are pushing individuals towards products that are both efficient and durable. A substantial number of households are uncertain about the proper detergent dosage, often having multiple bottles on hand without knowing their ideal usage.
Introducing Smart Dosing Solutions
To address these issues, Henkel is launching smart dosing devices that take the guesswork out of laundry and dishwashing. The company is unveiling two innovative smart detergent dosing devices that integrate seamlessly with existing appliances.
Somat Smartwash
This device is revolutionary as it is the world's first smart detergent dosing unit, capable of automatically detecting dishwasher parameters to optimize the dosage of detergent and additives. This ensures superior cleaning results that last over extended use.
Persil Smartwash
This advanced laundry solution is designed to autonomously sense washing machine settings, dosing the optimal amount of detergent at just the right time during a wash cycle, enhancing stain removal and fabric freshness.
Smartwash: A Vision of Cleaner Futures
As a central theme of the exhibit, Henkel will introduce its next-generation smart laundry concept branded as 'Smartwash.' This concept showcases an AI-driven detergent dosing system that accommodates cartridge-based solutions, adaptable for future washing machines. It promises improved stain removal rates by up to 57% over current leading products and can create a staggering 300 quadrillion unique dosing configurations to ensure optimal cleaning performance with every load.
"Despite our long history of nearly 150 years in chemistry, we are steadfast in our pursuit of innovative change targeted at meeting the evolving demands of our customers," emphasized Nuria Ribe, Corporate Senior Vice President for Laundry and Home Care at Henkel. "By fostering partnerships within our industry, we hope to develop a truly smart and user-centric laundry experience.
