LG Electronics to Launch Smarter AI Clothing Care Appliances Next Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 19th that it will launch drum washing machines and dryers equipped with more advanced artificial intelligence in the domestic market next month.

LG Electronics, which pioneered the world's first commercialization of the Direct Drive (DD) motor in washing machines in 1998 and has developed its advantages through industry-leading inverter technology, has now introduced AI washing.

The AI DD washing machine analyzes big data on various laundry items to determine the quantity and material of clothes and performs AI washing under optimal washing conditions.

The new dryer, linked with the LG ThinQ app, can automatically set the drying course by receiving washing course information from the washing machine using smart pairing technology. The LG ThinQ app is a home appliance management application that uses Wi-Fi.

LG Electronics plans to provide a service that manages the drum washing machines and dryers launching next month in optimal condition from installation to use and maintenance. This service uses AI to monitor operating status and detect and notify expected malfunctions or necessary actions in advance.

Song Dae-hyun, President of LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, “We will strengthen our dominance in the premium home appliance market by leading with smarter clothing care appliances equipped with artificial intelligence.”
