World market leader of industrial washing machines, dryers and ironers chooses E.D.&A. (April 2011)

E.D.&A. has developed an ultra-modern controller platform for one of the world leaders active in the development and production of industrial washing machines, dryers and ironers.

The development is based on a high-performance ARM microcontroller and uses an RTOS (Real Time Operating System). For the user interface there is the choice between a TFT (5.7“ or 3.5“) or an LCD display (240x128 pixels). The controller platform can easily be extended to include WiFi and other communication technologies.

This platform also assures that the machines meet all the requirements of the end customer: very low energy and water consumption, easy to use and maintain and amazing washing, drying and ironing results. This new platform will be used for all machines that this customer has in its range.

Co-development
The development of this new controller platform was developed through an intense collaboration with the engineers of the customer. E.D.&A.. has developed the hardware and writes the low level drivers to access the hardware. In addition, E.D.&A. is also responsible for the implementation of the Real Time Operating System (RTOS). The customer will take care of the application software.
