Hand on heart: Who doesn't throw food away at home? Each and every consumer bins 78 kg of food each year according to the German Federal Office of Statistics (2020). Frequently, this is produce which is still edible, although it may no longer look fresh or has simply been in the fridge for too long. Proper storage in a refrigerator also plays a key role in any responsible approach to food. To mark tomorrow's International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, here are a few tips and tricks:
Compact dimensions and innovations previously the preserve of larger machine categories: With these characteristics, the Miele PWM 509 Mopstar 90 washing machine qualified for the finals of the coveted Purus Innovation Award 2023. The award is to be presented during the CMS, the world's leading trade show for contract cleaners and facility managers, in Berlin. For the finals, the jury selected three products each in six categories – with Miele represented among the large machines.
As a system supplier to contract cleaners, Miele Professional is now deploying software which provides support with business work processes. Miele MOVE Clean+ is completely independent of Miele machines and should be understood as a piece of independent software which connects all the persons involved in contract cleaning and covers the entire portfolio of tasks: From customer and order management and job rotas to clocking working times and quality control. This digitises previously manual activities – ensuring considerably more efficiency in the process. The modular software is available both as a web-based application and an app and can be put to productive use with only little effort.
Little Giants from Miele come into their own where large volumes of mops and cleaning cloths are required on a daily basis and where space is at a premium: Compact washing machines and dryers with load capacities of 6 kg or 8 kg. With these machines occupying no more than half a square metre of floor space, Miele is offering maximum flexibility – for instance with accessories such as various plinths for installation. All machines can be purchased outright, rented or leased.
Which washing machines are running? When is the dryer finished? How high is consumption? Answers to questions such as these are provided live by the Miele MOVE portal. This digital solution for use on a PC and mobile devices simplifies multiple work processes associated with contract cleaning and is available for all Miele laundry machines from the Little Giants and Benchmark generation – catering for load capacities of 6 to 20 kg (washing machines) or up to 44 kg (dryers).
They are the specialists for dealing with mops and cleaning cloths: The New Benchmark Machines, connected laundry machines from Miele, offer considerably more space for cleaning textiles than ever before.
The washing machines from this model series have iron grey fronts and, depending on the model, are available with load capacities of between 9 kg and 20 kg - with matching right-sized dryers. All machines offer the ideal prerequisites for greater efficiency in contract cleaning.
Modern high-end interior design without black is inconceivable. No other colour is as timelessly elegant and blends in with virtually any interior design style and such a wide range of colours to the same degree as black. In particular, matt black surface finishes are in big demand. Miele is now set to present a completely new series of built-in appliances in noble obsidian black matt. This comprises an oven, a compact microwave combination oven, a combination steam oven, a warmer and vacuum drawer, a built-in coffee machine and a wine storage unit. These products are complemented by induction hob units, a cooker hood and front panels for dishwashers with Knock2Open technology.
The first ceramic glass revolutionised the kitchen more than 50 years ago. Attractive design, durability and ease of cleaning have been the key drivers of this success story. Whether conventional electric or induction hob unit – these timeless classics are an integral part of modern kitchens. Miele expands its portfolio through the addition of two induction hob units with MattFinish ceramic glass. Its surface is particularly resistant to scratches and fingerprints.
The delightful interaction between culinary highlights and world-class sport is set to continue: At the start of the new season, FC Bayern München and Miele have agreed an extension to their existing partnership by a further three years. The world's leading supplier of premium domestic appliances has partnered with the German record holder since 2020 and will continue to offer outstanding gourmet experiences in the Allianz Arena in future.
The most spectacular new product at the IFA trade show is the Miele Aerium, a practical appliance for freshening up garments and other accessoires. Further top issues include a new cordless stick vacuum cleaner promising excellent user convenience, as well as clever details for greater sustainability in the home and pleasurable cooking. More precise details were unveiled by the Co-Proprietors and Executive Directors Dr. Markus Miele and Dr. Reinhard Zinkann as well as Dr. Axel Kniehl, Executive Director Marketing & Sales, at today's press conference at the Miele booth. Motto: 'A Miele Open House', for high-end, convenient and sustainable living.
Your favorite dress is pretty creased after being worn for only a few hours. A pullover has absorbed odors from a really pleasant evening at the restaurant. You got caught up in a shower on a short walk? Everyone is familiar with such moments, where garments are not dirty – but by the same token are no longer fresh enough to go straight back into the cupboard. Airing laundry indoors is unpractical and not exactly hygienic, and washing items or even taking them to the dry-cleaners is neither convenient nor gentle. The solution to this dilemma is the new Aerium laundry cabinet from Miele which is now to celebrate its trade show premiere at the IFA and will be launched in the second quarter of 2024.
With its Duoflex HX1, Miele is setting new standards in the world of cordless handsticks in terms of design and specifications. As a model at an entry-level price point, this product excels in terms of its aesthetically attractive colour concept as well as through innovative features which make vacuum cleaning a pleasure.
'Wine is poetry bottled' said the novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. During the life and times of the great Scot, there were undoubtedly many wine cellars around offering good storage conditions. Nowadays, things have changed and wine units from Miele raise wine storage in modern times to new heights. The new generation of freestanding wine units offer exceptional storage conditions to protect and maintain select quality over time. They also excel by offering greater convenience and an extended range of models in timeless design – keeping the poetry of wine perfectly intact.
Since the beginning of the year, Miele has been marketing fridge-freezer combinations from the K 4000 generation with the highest possible 'A' energy efficiency rating. Now, further freestanding and built-in units from the K 7000 generation are even more energy-efficient: In both model series, the efficiency of many models has improved by at least one class. And, for good measure, the feature set has been upgraded at attractive price points. The icing on the cake: The new ActiveDoor feature with voice control. All models, whether freestanding or built-in, are now connectivity-enabled*.
Miele's Generation 7000 is one of the most sustainable dishwashers on the market. For IFA 2023, the premium manufacturer has now announced that it will further perfect its current series. For example, with new wash programmes that achieve an increased cleaning performance, or a shorter running time compared to the Eco programme – but still consumes less electricity or water than the classic programme. And thanks to the new basket design, reusable drinking straws and bottles can now also be washed optimally.
A sustainable lifestyle is still associated by many with restrictions and forgoing. Miele, however, shows that things can be different – with new networking applications and services which make life simpler and help bring tasty food to the table, save money and, to top it all, are good for the environment. In other words: Pleasure instead of frustration through greater sustainability in the smart home with Miele.
For many, cooking is the best hobby in the world. Nevertheless, it can be quite a challenge, starting with the shopping and food storage right through to initial preparations and processing food. New smart home applications are now set to make certain aspects of this complex process simpler. Miele relieves the stress on hosts – for instance by synchronising cooking operations automatically, by using artificial intelligence and voice control to provide support with food preparation or letting wine develop its full bouquet by guaranteeing the ideal drinking temperature.
In its worldwide service organisation, Miele concentrates not only on repairs but also increasingly on the care and maintenance of its products. The objective is to pre-empt possible faults before they occur and, in doing so, extend the service life of appliances. And if a fault does occur, Miele helps customers with a wide range of service products, not least by helping them to help themselves. 'Care instead of repair. Repair instead of replace' – is the philosophy behind these efforts. Furthermore, Miele is the first domestic appliance manufacturer worldwide to offer accessories from a 3D printer.
25 years ago, the family-run Miele company delighted its customers with the world's first built-in coffee machines. These were followed in 2016 by Miele's own first coffee: 100% Arabica, hand-harvested, gently roasted and naturally organically certified and fair-traded. This range has grown in the meantime to four exclusive Miele blends – and, from September, will be joined by an organically grown Limited Edition from Brazil along with three high-quality tea creations.
Miele also offers the perfect technology for small businesses requiring large quantities of clean laundry and spotless crockery. Commercial machines must live up to higher standards than appliances for residential use: In offices, workshops, bakeries, hair salons and gyms where, above all, speed is of the essence. The robustly equipped machines for semi-professional and professional use were previously offered almost exclusively through specialists. From October 1 onwards, they will be found under the name ‘PRO Series’ in many showrooms of German Miele specialist retailers.
Clean, safe and environmentally friendly: The new vacuum cleaner bag from Miele not only offers impressive 99.99 per cent* filtration of all dust particles but also consists of 80 per cent** recycled material. This represents the highest recycled material content a Miele vacuum cleaner bag ever had. The bag will be available from October in an equally new and sustainable packaging design throughout the DACH area. Further countries will follow successively.
The world's leading supplier of premium domestic appliances is upgrading its entry-line induction hobs and ovens – by adding more convenience and new design. A further benefit: flexible cutout measurements on hob units for individually tailored kitchens.
The energy and climate crisis has sensitised consumers in Germany. The Hamburg-based market researchers Appinio, commissioned by Miele, revealed that consumers want to place greater store by sustainable criteria when purchasing food, domestic appliances and clothing. But that is where it ends for most people: Consumers leave the huge potential for both the environment and the wallet which comes from the regular use of Eco programmes untapped. Whereby the latter is a clear incentive for sparing use. The survey polled 500 representatively selected men and women each (around mid-July).
Since the beginning of this year, many restaurateurs and caterers have been under legal obligation to offer reusable containers for to-go consumption which can be returned after use. For the most part, these items are made from plastic – a material which poses challenges when it comes to dishwashing.
From August 2023 onwards, Miele will offer a practical solution for everyday use for fresh water and tank dishwashers: with new baskets and inserts in which beakers and bowls are held securely in place, hygienically clean and then reliably dried.
Miele was able to reduce its direct and indirect CO2 emissions by 52% in 2022 compared to 2019 - while at the same time increasing its production volume. These and many other key figures are presented by the Gütersloh-based family-owned company in its sustainability update published today. This puts Miele ahead of its self-imposed target of reducing its own emissions (Scope 1) and those for energy deliveries (Scope 2) by 50% by 2030 compared to 2019. Thanks to its particularly energy-efficient appliances, Miele is also ahead of plan with 8.2% savings in the use phase of its products (Scope 3.11).
Miele induction hobs are exceptional in terms of both functionality and design. This has been confirmed by the jury of the iF Design Award and the RedDot Design Award. Two hobs with an integrated extractor (TwoInOne) and a full-surface induction hob were each double winners. Both awards count among the world's most coveted prizes of their kind.
'New. Better' – The jury of the iF Design Award 2023 condensed the reasons why the new MasterLine dishwashers from Miele Professional won their coveted design prize into these two words. And the dishwashers are not alone: the PDW 909 washer-dryer stack and the PDR 510/910 dryer series also received the iF Design Award 2023 and the reddot winner 2023 for their excellence in design and function.
Soil plays a key role as a carbon sink in achieving the 1.5°C climate target set by the UN. However, soil quality is suffering worldwide due to monocultures, i.e. the cultivation of only one type of crop over several years. Regenerative approaches, however, preserve biodiversity, help restore ecosystems and improve soil health. Miele, as a supplier of coffee and fully automatic coffee machines, is taking it from there and starting sustainable coffee cultivation in Brazil. With this move, the company, which already sources organic and fair-trade coffee through its supplier, is taking the next strategic step towards further reducing CO2 and increasing biodiversity.
They are the specialists in reprocessing mops and cleaning cloths: connectivity-enabled washing machines and dryers from Miele with load capacities of 6 to 20 kg, better known as 'Mop Star'. They are able to accommodate more cleaning textiles than ever before. All machines can be purchased outright, rented or leased, and equipped with useful accessories. Miele's booth at the CMS in Berlin provides an overview of the portfolio of products, on display at Cleaning.Management.Services (CMS) in Berlin (September 19-22, Hall 4.2, Booth 132).
For the fifth time in succession, Miele dishwashers clinched first place with Stiftung Warentest, Germany's leading consumer watchdog: Among the 60 cm wide units with top-edge controls (fully integrated), the G 7250 SCVi leads the field. Among the semi-integrated units with visible front controls, its sister model G 7200 SCi, otherwise technically identical, came out top. Both dishwashers were the only contenders to achieve an overall rating of 2.3. In total, 16 units, including 3 slimline models with a width of only 45 cm, were tested. The results were published in the 08/2023 issue of the 'test' magazine on July 27.
Innovative products and services for greater sustainability and convenience are Miele's top themes at this year's IFA. What this means in concrete terms was explained today by Bernhard Hörsch, Commercial Director Sales at Miele Vertriebsgesellschaft Deutschland KG, at the IFA preview 'Innovations Media Briefing' (IMB) in Berlin. At the same time, he gave an initial overview of the new products that the family-owned group will be unveiling under the radio tower at the beginning of September. Motto: 'A Miele Open House', for high-quality, comfortable and sustainable living.
High spin speed, maximum energy efficiency or washing and drying in one appliance? Here, the needs and priorities of customers are often different, and so are the criteria that are decisive when buying a washing machine. With its diverse range, Miele therefore offers exactly the right model for every need. Three new appliances from the "Performance" promotional series are now further rounding off the range. Naturally, all models are available in the best energy efficiency class, tested for a 20-year lifespan and controllable via the Miele app. The appliances will go on sale in August. The promotion runs for six months.
Miele's Generation 7000 is one of the most sustainable dishwashers on the market. For IFA 2023, the premium manufacturer has now announced that it will further perfect its current series. For example, with new wash programmes that achieve an increased cleaning performance, or a shorter running time compared to the Eco programme – but still consumes less electricity or water than the classic programme. And thanks to the new basket design, reusable drinking straws and glass bottles can now also be washed optimally.
Can we have a little artificial intelligence in household appliances? – The answer is yes, if the intelligent helpers do not patronise, but make everything easier, the result convincing and savingmoney. Two AI applications from Miele promise outstanding customer benefits. The culinary part is taken care of by the Smart Food ID cooking assistance system, which will also be available in Germany in the coming weeks for large Miele ovens with integrated cameras. AI Diagnostics is good for the wallet and the environment.
Miele is expanding its portfolio of popular induction hobs with integrated extractor hoods. For the first time, the newcomer is designed entirely in black and, like all TwoInOnes, combines the best from Miele's competence centres in Bünde and Arnsberg. Powerful and quiet, the ventilation system works with the Silence motor. And thanks to the PowerFlex XL cooking zones, even two large pots or a roaster can find their place on the hob one behind the other.
Golden yellow, tender on the inside and - especially important - crispy on the outside - that's how perfect fries should be. This is usually achieved by deep-frying the potato sticks in lots of hot fat or oil. The popular snack is much lower in fat and therefore healthier if it is prepared in the oven. However, the result is often not as crispy as desired or even a little dry. With a Miele oven in combination with the perforated Gourmet baking and AirFry tray, French fries are evenly browned and as crispy as desired.
Die Energiekrise und die steigenden Stromkosten konfrontieren Betreiber von hauseigenen Wäschereien mit der Frage, wie sie die höheren Ausgaben kompensieren sollen. Miele unterstützt seine Kundinnen und Kunden deshalb jetzt mit einem neuen Eco-Programmpaket, das kostenlos zum Download verfügbar ist und erhebliches Einsparpotenzial bietet. Es kann auf die Steuerung von allen Waschmaschinen der aktuellen Baureihe „Benchmark“ übertragen werden, die es in unterschiedlichen Größen für eine Beladekapazität von 9 bis 20 Kilogramm gibt.
Hazardous substances to which fire-fighters are exposed via their protective clothing can seriously affect health. These include smoke, diesel fumes and asbestos, which is provably carcinogenic, as well as toxic chemical residues. Help is now at hand in the form of barrier washing machines with two doors, allowing loading and uploading in separate rooms and preventing any redeposition of soil on textiles. Miele now offers three models in different sizes – particularly designed to rise to the challenges of fire brigades and rescue services.
For the protective equipment of fire-fighters, many manufacturers recommend drying cabinets – both for drying operational jackets and trousers which are suitable for drying, but especially for utensils made from materials which may suffer damage in a tumble dryer. This includes, for example, boots, gloves, belts, wetsuits and cut-proof trousers. Miele is therefore now offering drying cabinets in two sizes and, consequently, a complete portfolio for reprocessing personal equipment from one single source.
Which washing machines are running? When will they be finished? How high is consumption? Answers to questions such as these are provided live by the Miele MOVE portal. The platform for PCs and mobile devices is a digital solution which simplifies a multitude of processes. Initially, Miele MOVE will be available for the new Benchmark Machines, Miele's latest generation of laundry machines.
The commercial laundry machines from Miele are able to reprocess entire sets of the personal protective gear worn by fire-fighters: not only multi-ply jackets and trousers but also helmets, gloves and heavy-duty belts. All models are available under the title 'The New Benchmark Machines' and guarantee increased safety in readiness for the next emergency call – if required even with digital assistance. And there are also right-sized dryers to match the washing machines from this model series, with load capacities of between 12 kg and 20 kg.
After each call-out, respiratory equipment must be hygienically reprocessed – in addition to masks and regulators, this also includes compressed air cylinders and carrier frames for compressed air bottles. Depending on the requirements and available space at the fire station, Miele now offers suitable solutions for this application: from compact washers to a medium-sized model and a large-capacity washer. For the first time, the two largest units can even clean compressed air cylinders and their carrier frames at the same time.
Miele hat für Feuerwehren eine sichere und einfache Möglichkeit entwickelt, um Atemschutzmaterialien in einem Spezialspüler aufzubereiten: Die Maschine PG 8063 „Safety“ reinigt Atemschutzmasken und Lungenautomaten besonders hygienisch mit Frischwasser und bietet für diese Ausrüstung einen sicheren Platz in Spezialkörben. Mit dem maschinellen Verfahren spart der Atemschutzwart viel Arbeitszeit ein.
With more than 6 decades of experience in the development of laboratory glasswashers under its belt, Miele stands like hardly any other brand for the efficient and safe reprocessing of laboratory glassware. The current portfolio was developed in close collaboration with reputable glassware manufacturers and ranges from undercounter models to large-chamber units. Patented load carriers, own process chemicals and various documentation solutions come together to make up 360PRO – a holistic system for laboratories with a broad range of demands.
Sedimentation funnels are used to determine water quality and ascertain the volume of solids in suspension in water – for example in sewage works and industrial plants as well as in swimming baths. Samples are taken using so-called Imhoff funnels with a form which allows suspended matter to sink to the bottom fast. Given their conical form, it was not previously possible to reprocess these vessels in an automatic process. Miele is now the first manufacturer to offer a matching set of nozzles for use in Miele's space-saving undercounter laboratory glasswashers with the same dimensions as a domestic dishwasher.
With a width of only 65 cm, Miele laboratory glasswashers from the SlimLine series are the ideal fit when lots of laboratory glassware has to be washed clean where space is limited. The new PLW 7111 generation is connectivity-enabled, can be operated via the Miele MOVE Internet portal and offers an enlarged chamber. Maximum flexibility during loading is facilitated by the EasyLoad system. Furthermore, intelligent technology adjusts circulation pump capacity, guaranteeing speed during the main wash and saving water in the rinse cycle.
Connectivity via the Miele MOVE portal makes reprocessing in Miele undercounter laboratory glasswashers safer and more convenient – thanks to digital real-time information and data on process cycles. The remote monitoring of key process parameters, for instance, is possible, helping to keep track of which machines are running and whether there is a sufficient supply of chemicals. Where necessary, contact to Miele Service can also be quickly established.
With large-chamber laboratory glasswashers from the PLW 86 series, Miele offers a high-performance model range with machines which are easily loaded using a trolley. This increases capacity and makes for stress- and strain-free working – which also includes employees of small stature.
Miele further expands self-sufficiency in green electricity. At its headquarters in Gütersloh, the company is currently installing the second-largest roof-top PV array in the town, comprising around 2,400 PV modules. The installation will have a total output of around 900 kWp and will generate more than 750,000 kWh of electricity per year – sufficient to power some 250 households, each with an annual average consumption of 3,000 kWh. Construction work has already commenced, with the facility expected to enter service this year..
When days get longer and warmer, barbecue enthusiasts feel the urge to roll up their sleeves and set to work. Fancy recipes like salmon burgers with truffle mayo, "longjobs" like pulled pork and meatless dishes like caramelised honey carrots are becoming increasingly popular. Even classic desserts like Kaiserschmarrn can be easily grilled with the right accessories. For all this and much more, the new outdoor kitchen from Otto Wilde offers the ideal equipment. And with the noble black matt powder coating and the high-quality materials, it also makes every terrace and balcony a visual highlight.
Only 71 cm wide, offering ample space for textiles, and connectivity-enabled: Miele now offers new dryers from the SlimLine series which complement the current portfolio of laundry machines in terms of design thanks to their intuitive controls and their iron grey front.
The Benchmark generation of laundry machines from Miele is to be given a new entry-line class: From the summer of 2023, there will be washing machines from this model series with a load capacity of 9 to 11 kg, accompanied by dryers with matching load sizes. These models offer the user the convenience and programme diversity of the larger machines which have been available since 2021 – and they can also be monitored remotely via the Miele MOVE digital portal.
They are allrounders but, where necessary, absolute specialists: The New Benchmark Machines, connectivity-enabled laundry machines from Miele, replaced the successful models from the Benchmark generation. Besides the smaller entry-line category (cf. Press release No. 045/2023), there are also washing machines which, depending on the model, have load capacities of between 12 and 20 kg, as well as dryers with matching load sizes. All models provide the wherewithal for greater efficiency in care and nursing homes.
Which washing machines are running? When is that dishwasher finished? How high is consumption? Answers to questions such as these are provided live by the Miele MOVE portal. The platform for PCs and mobile devices simplifies a multitude of processes and provides a secure documentation solution. It is now available for all Miele laundry machines from the Little Giants and New Benchmark generations as well as SlimLine dryers and fresh water dishwashers from the new MasterLine series. These offer load capacities of 6 to 20 kg (washing machines) or 44 kg (dryers).
Following hard on the heels of the coveted golden virus seal of approval for meeting above-average hygiene standards outside the healthcare sector, the Institute for Integrative Hygiene and Virology has once again commended Miele technology intended for commercial operations: Washing machines and commercial dishwashers from the most recent generations now also receive the seal in black as a testimony to even higher standards.
Wherever hygiene tops the agenda, the new commercial dishwashers from Miele's MasterLine series are the products of choice: The proven fresh water system takes in fresh water for each phase of the programme and uses high temperatures to remove soil and reliably deal with viruses and bacteria. In the course of everyday work, short cycles make for efficient processes. These machines are ideal for use in care and nursing homes as well as in ward kitchens in hospitals.
Daily freshly harvested salads and herbs from an automatically controlled greenhouse ('Plantcube') – with this concept, the Munich-based start-up Agrilution wanted to bring the idea of vertical farming into the home. Since the end of 2019, this has been happening under the umbrella of the Miele Group. Now, the Gütersloh-based household appliance company has announced that it will no longer be continuing the business with the Plantcubes due to a lack of economic prospects. This affects almost 40 salaried as well as additional student employees, who have been given notice of termination due to the closure of the business on June 30, 2023. The approximately 650 users, who also purchased their seeds ('Seedbars') through Agrilution, will soon receive an offer to buy back their equipment.
Miele to present innovative products again at Labvolution exhibition in Hanover from May 9 onwards. New connected laboratory glasswashers from the SlimLine generation will be centre-stage with their larger chamber and the EasyLoad system guaranteeing simpler loading combined with greater flexibility and increased capacity. The Miele MOVE online portal will also be presented live with a laboratory glasswasher connected to a PC or mobile device – making it obvious at a glance whether reprocessing has successfully completed (Building 20, Booth A 60).
In order to continue and further strengthen its growth course, the Miele Group is expanding its production capacities. The next milestone is the Gütersloh-based family group's first plant on the American continent, where ovens are to be manufactured for the USA, Canada and Mexico. For the world's leading manufacturer of premium domestic appliances and machines for commercial use, this is the eighth production site outside Germany, out of a total of 16 plants.
Since 2013, the Green Product Award has been rewarding products and services which excel in a special way through design, innovation and sustainability. This year, prize winners include a dishwasher from Miele. The G 7465 SCVi XXL AutoDos from Miele's Bielefeld production plant meets the requirements for the new 'A' energy efficiency class and, among other technologies, features load recognition to adjust water consumption to the load in hand to protect the environment. The jury commended above all the Miele app's transparency in presenting consumption data.
In the reprocessing of dental instruments, reduced consumption of water and electricity contributes towards minimising the strain on resources and cutting costs. Medical products from Miele therefore combine performance and efficiency – fully in keeping with Miele's corporate claim of developing products and services which have the least possible impact on the environment.
Clients opting for 360PRO from Miele can expect a comprehensive and individual service package. More than 1200 expertly trained Miele technicians work for Miele Professional worldwide, travelling to customers in service vehicles with key spare parts on board and performing maintenance, qualification work and repairs. This ensures the smooth operation of all medical products from Miele at all times – and the reliable cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation of dental instruments. An overview.
Since the Miele takeover last November, SMP GmbH has continued to expand its range of services in the field of medical technology and is set to present its portfolio for the first time at the Miele booth at the forthcoming IDS trade show in Cologne. The Tübingen-based hygiene specialist is beefing up its laboratory capacities in particular and is taking on additional staff. As an independent and accredited laboratory, SMP specialises in the validation of reprocessing and the provision of process challenge devices and their evaluation. These services are rendered on behalf of Miele, but are also open to a broad range of other international users and manufacturers of medical devices.
A new digital solution simplifies machine management in dental surgeries. Centre-stage is the Miele MOVE online portal which has been released for use in numerous countries. This digital product brings together thermal disinfectors, small sterilisers and other commercial machines via a PC and mobile devices – providing an at-a-glance overview of the reprocessing of medical instruments and successfully completed programmes.
Miele rounds off its dental portfolio with Cube and Cube X small sterilisers. Like thermal disinfectors, these units simplify instrument reprocessing, for example through connection to Miele full demineralisation cartridges. These sterilisers are connectivity-enabled and allow integration into a surgery network.
Catering for various disciplines in dental medicine and instrument loads, Miele now offers its 360PRO system. One integral part of this system are high-performance thermal disinfectors with innovative features in which for example the reusable hoses and masks used in nitrous oxide sedation can be cleaned and disinfected. All machines can be integrated into an existing surgery network and can be connected online to the Miele MOVE portal.
Only 71 cm wide, offering ample space for textiles, and connectivity-enabled: Miele now offers new dryers from the SlimLine series which complement the current portfolio of laundry machines in terms of design thanks to their intuitive controls and their iron grey front.
The Benchmark generation of laundry machines from Miele is to be given a new entry-line class: From the summer of 2023, there will be washing machines from this model series with a load capacity of 9 to 11 kg, accompanied by dryers with matching load sizes. These models offer the user the convenience and programme diversity of the larger machines which have been available since 2021 – and they can also be monitored remotely via the Miele MOVE digital portal.
They are allrounders but, where necessary, absolute specialists: The New Benchmark Machines, connectivity-enabled laundry machines from Miele, replaced the successful models from the Benchmark generation. Besides the smaller entry-line category (cf. Press release No. 022/2023), there are also washing machines which, depending on the model, have load capacities of between 12 and 20 kg, as well as dryers with matching load sizes. All models provide the wherewithal for greater efficiency in hotels and restaurants.
Which washing machines are running? When is that dishwasher finished? How high is consumption? Answers to questions such as these are provided live by the Miele MOVE portal. The platform for PCs and mobile devices simplifies a multitude of processes and provides a secure documentation solution. It is now available for all Miele laundry machines from the Little Giants and New Benchmark generations as well as SlimLine dryers and fresh water dishwashers from the new MasterLine series. These offer load capacities of 6 to 20 kg (washing machines) or 44 kg (dryers).
Wherever sparkling results and hygiene top the agenda, the new commercial dishwashers from Miele's MasterLine series are the products of choice: The proven fresh water system takes in fresh water for each phase of the programme and uses high temperatures to remove soil and reliably deal with viruses and bacteria. In the course of everyday work, short cycles make for efficient processes. These models are ideal for hotels and restaurants.
The world's leading supplier of premium domestic appliances and commercial machines achieved higher sales in its 2022 business year and sold more units than ever before – despite fragile supply chains and a decline in markets overall. With 23,322 employees, Miele reports the largest workforce in its history (as per December 31, 2022). Substantial improvements were achieved by the Gütersloh-based family-owned company in the field of climate protection, for instance through the increased use of solar power, 'green' steel and cooperations centred on electromobility as well as improvements in the energy efficiency of appliances.
Not having to drive to work each day saves time and money, takes the strain off the environment and helps reconcile family and career. These benefits are now set to remain beyond the Covid pandemic. With a set of rules which have applied Germany-wide since February 1, Miele is offering its employees a choice between two flexible models – and, depending on the task and field of activity, allowing staff members to work up to 80% of their hours from home.
Aluminium is both strong and light-weight. These and other properties make aluminium an attractive proposition in a broad range of industrial applications. Alongside its use in the automotive sector, this metal also plays a key role in the production of domestic appliances. Aluminium, though, is energy-intensive in production. Hence the more energy is supplied by the sun, wind and water, the more the climate benefits. As part of a pilot project, Miele is now using primary aluminium in the manufacture of ovens produced exclusively using green electricity from hydroelectric power. This way, Miele reduces its CO2 footprint by 645 tonnes a year and, in doing so, is making yet another contribution to greater sustainability in the supply chain.
Connectivity solutions for kitchen and on-premise laundry as well as new machines ensuring hygienic, safe and sustainable processes: At the Altenpflege age-care show in Nuremberg, Miele is to present a comprehensive portfolio of products for care and nursing homes (April 25-28, Building 7, Booth C 58). One focus will be on the Miele MOVE portal which allows the new fresh water dishwashers and laundry machines to be managed 'on the fly' and which makes tried-and-tested technology even more efficient.
With a new system covering all aspects of a dental surgery, Miele is presenting live at the world's leading dental show, the IDS in Cologne. The 360PRO system stands for product solutions covering all areas within a dental practice: from connectivity-enabled thermal disinfectors which connect with the practice network or the new Miele MOVE online portal, through to laundry care products and commercial dishwashers. In addition to all this, Miele's system offers a comprehensive range of services from one single source. The motto at the Miele booth in Building 10.2, Stand no. R020 S021: 'Your practice. Your patients. Your instruments. Our 360PRO solutions.'
Due to a significant decline in orders and the resulting risk of overstretching warehouse logistics, an interruption to production at the Gütersloh appliance factory (GTG plant) has become unavoidable. After production of washing machines was stopped here last Friday and on Monday, a 6-day period of short-time working began after today's early shift. The necessary agreement with the Works Council was signed this morning. Production is scheduled to resume on Thursday, February 9 (early shift).
The battle against climate change counts among the biggest challenges of our day and age. Miele is acutely aware of this and is working on developing solutions which go easy on natural resources and the environment in a bid to contribute towards a better future. But how can sustainability be converted into business models? How are meaningful ideas best put into practice? Miele and TU concept GmbH, a subsidiary of the Technical University Dortmund (TU Dortmund), have instigated a programme for the up-and coming generation in businesses in order to provide answers to these questions – the 'tu.CREATE x Miele Challenge 2023'.
In the quest for exciting new business models and in terms of getting them off the ground, agile start-ups often have a leading edge over large corporations. But the path from the original idea through to a market-mature business operation is generally long and strewn with obstacles. Now, Miele has founded its own incubator in order to further promote the development of innovative solutions from within the ranks of the workforce and implement them faster. With Pioneering GmbH, Miele is ensuring a creative environment in which internal start-ups can bring their ideas to fruition faster, well away from established structures.
