Energy efficiency regulations continue to push the boundaries requiring continuous improvements to the state-of-the-art technologies. This means the industry needs to introduce advanced materials at an appropriate cost for both cold and hot applications.
In particular, a global home appliances manufacturer approached BlueThink with the issue, seeking an affordable solution to increase the products energy rating of domestic ovens.
Based on our experience, we carried out a Technology Scouting activity to find possible solutions, including disruptive and incremental options.
Although an interesting span of solutions was identified, an innovative material coming from the automotive industry offered a sensible performance improvement, as well as a cost reduction.
Through our expertise in simulation, prototyping, design for manufacturing and testing, we were able to offer a validated solution with a clear path to industrialization.
This project offered the client the opportunity to considerably improve their product energy efficiency rate without affecting the BOM cost.
