Sensors are increasingly being used by the white goods industry to improve functionality in everyday home appliances. MEAS Sensors has partnered with major appliance manufacturers to break new ground in the creation of “smart” appliances that can respond to human touch, automatically adjust for volume, or know when to turn on and off. Duralith panels also provide a unique opportunity to enhance functionality and reduce cost.
