What is NFC technology in the washing machine?

To ensure a high quality of washing and preservation of the appearance of things loaded into the drum, the user, before starting the program, needs to evaluate the degree of contamination of the laundry, the material of the product, its color. The washing machine has a limited set of modes, so the hostess has to choose the optimal washing parameters from those programmed in the intellect. The NFC technology in the washing machine is the latest development that allows you to independently configure the equipment for work, supplement standard programs with new options. We will figure out what is the meaning of this supplement.

Features of the new technology

Often, users are faced with a lack of choice of modes that would be suitable for washing a certain type of laundry. Running the wrong program makes things worse. And I don’t want to wash clothes manually, if there is a washer. In an effort to facilitate the choice of a housewife, global manufacturers of automatic machines began to equip washers with technology NFC, which allows using a smartphone to control intelligence, change the factory settings of cleaning modes, thereby increasing the washing efficiency.

Thanks to the built-in chip, machines can “learn” new things-handling programs in the process of using them. The basic washing parameters are supplemented and changed depending on the characteristics of the laundry loaded into the drum. It is necessary to install special software on the smartphone and bring the device to the mark on the typewriter. Thus, the NFC module is activated, which will adjust the cleaning mode, depending on the initial data for washing set in the mobile application.

In addition, the NFC chip simplifies the diagnosis of the machine in case of breakdown. This feature is activated in the same way - the smartphone is brought to the mark on the machine, after which the system verification process starts.

As a result of self-diagnosis, the user receives detailed information about defects and malfunctions of the equipment, as well as ways to eliminate identified problems.

Advantages and disadvantages

Often, due to the "stuffing" of the washing machine with various technological additions, the cost of technology increases. This means that before buying equipment equipped with an NFC chip, it is better to familiarize yourself with the pros and cons of this function. Indisputable advantages:

• the ability to program non-standard washing modes by adjusting basic programs;
• quick diagnosis of defects in the machine;
• ease of use add-ons;
• operational synchronization of the phone and washer.

NFC technology also has some disadvantages:

• a small radius of impact on the machine;
• the need for an NFC chip in the smartphone.

Very rarely there are situations when the software installed on the phone is incompatible with the model of washing equipment. Therefore, if this technology is very important for you, make sure that the phone and the machine are synchronized before buying washing equipment.

Is it difficult to use

What is NFC technology, we figured it out. Next, understand how to use it. The algorithm for creating a “unique” mode will be as follows:

• Download the special application on your phone;
• indicate data on things loaded into the drum (type of fabric, its color, type of clothing, degree of contamination, etc.);
• Confirm the cleaning mode offered by the system.

Running diagnostics is also very simple - bring the smartphone with the running application to the washing machine, wait for the verification process to complete.

NFC technology means a new, more comfortable way to use the washing machine. Now the washing process will become even more convenient for the user, the right to “think” is completely transferred to the module.
