Our homes are turning smarter and smarter, so our fridges, being connected and equipped with new technologies such as cameras and artificial intelligence.

How might we combine big data and smart fridge:

1. to manage and optimize home power supply, leveraging services, new technologies and innovative business models?

2. to minimize food waste through an effortless inventory management system that complements computer vision?

Every year we produce tons of waste in office consumables, organic waste, metals, aluminum, plastics…while we are always committed to decrease the amount of waste produced, we are seeking innovative solutions, processes or services to sort, value and re-use waste or scrap material in our factories.

Microplastics are polluting our ocean shoreline worldwide. These particles can be intentionally part of a product (like cosmetics, paints etc.) or the result of plastic products degradation including car tires, plastic waste or synthetic fibers or textiles. These synthetic fibers and other fabric particles are released whenever we do our household laundry and they are too small to be retained of by the sewage treatment network.

Electrolux is seeking technologies and solutions to capture the release of microplastics ranging from filtration systems, to technologies to detect and purify wastewater from detergent, soil, fibers residuals.

Packaging is essential to prevent damages to the appliances we sell, particularly the big ones, but it is a one use only component.

We are willing to investigate and develop new packaging solutions that are highly sustainable and circular, also logistics-wise, with ideally minimal use of materials, innovative in design, recyclable and reusable; in a nutshell, able to turn packaging from a mere waste into a valuable resource.

There are noises that are perceived by consumers as annoying or, even worse, as signal of defects or malfunctioning. We are looking for reliable and scalable innovations to rapidly develop methodologies and test solutions for fast acoustic controls aimed to identify noise anomalies.

Our ultimate goal is to be able to control the consumer acoustic perceptions of our appliances directly in the production line.

Provides an innovative 3D printing for surface post processing to make the additive manufacturing process more efficient and to improve surface finishing results.

Provides a calibration system for correcting optical precision limits, learning the response model from inspection illuminators, and detecting anomalies independently.

Develops an innovative filtering and sensing membrane receptive of pathogens/allergens able to sense and to filter target molecules.
